Adoption by institutions is also growing. Anchorage Digital Bank unveiled on Aug. 13 that it would provide custody for Hyperliquid’s native HYPE token, offering institutional-grade security on HyperEVM.

Hyperliquid technical analysis

Strong bullish signals are supporting the price action of HYPE. From the 200-day SMA to the 10-day EMA, all of the major moving averages point to a buy trend. 

At 63, the relative strength index is still in neutral territory, leaving opportunity for more upside before it reaches overbought conditions. The moving average convergence divergence is positive, and the stochastic at 87.81 suggests ongoing buying interest. 

The Bollinger Bands are narrowing, and the price is pushing against the upper band, This indicates a tightening of volatility, which often precedes a breakout. Upward targets might emerge near $55 if the token closes firmly above $49.75, with $52 acting as intermediate resistance, 

Support is located at $45, and a stronger demand area is located at $42, which corresponds to the 20-day EMA and the mid-Bollinger band. Since the average directional index is still in its early stages of a trend, if volume keeps growing, there may be potential for a more strong directional move.
