3 Reasons HYPE Price Could Surge 40% by New Year’s

HYPE, the native token of decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, has been on fire this week, jumping over 13% after its listing on Robinhood, the US-based trading platform.

Several fundamental and technical factors now suggest HYPE’s upside momentum is far from over. Here are three reasons why the token could rally another 40% by New Year’s, potentially retesting its previous highs near $56–$57.

HYPE Confirms Falling Wedge Breakout

The biggest technical signal flashing bullish for HYPE is its falling wedge breakout.

On the daily chart, the token has decisively broken above the wedge’s upper trendline, a move often seen as the start of a major reversal after weeks of consolidation.

The breakout was backed by rising trading volumes, confirming that new buyers are stepping in to support the move.

Even more importantly, HYPE’s price has also climbed above its 200-day exponential moving average (200-day EMA; the blue wave), a long-term trend indicator that now aligns perfectly with the wedge’s upper boundary.

This confluence near the $38 support zone adds a layer of structural strength to the ongoing uptrend. As long as HYPE stays above this level, technical traders may target the wedge’s measured move, around $56.50, roughly 40% higher than current prices.

Robinhood Listing Expands HYPE’s Exposure in the US

HYPE’s recent Robinhood listing has dramatically improved its accessibility to US retail traders.

Robinhood’s crypto listings often attract speculative demand from US-based investors looking for early-mover opportunities, a pattern previously seen with assets like Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Avalanche (AVAX) after their listings.

For HYPE, this new channel of exposure could expand liquidity and brand recognition across American markets.

The listing effectively marks Hyperliquid’s entry into the US mainstream, positioning it as a credible decentralized exchange alternative to Binance and Coinbase’s ecosystems.

$1B Buy Interest From Hyperliquid Strategies

Beyond technicals and listings, one of the most striking fundamental catalysts is the reported $1 billion buy plan by Hyperliquid Strategies, a firm closely tied to the ecosystem.

According to its S-1 filings with the SEC, the group aims to inject up to $1 billion in HYPE purchases over the coming quarters, a move designed to reinforce liquidity, stabilize the token’s market depth, and attract institutional participants.

If executed, this influx of capital could act as a powerful demand floor, reducing volatility and potentially amplifying upward price momentum into year-end.

Such large-scale accumulation campaigns tend to create positive feedback loops, as rising prices invite more traders, further boosting liquidity and sentiment.
