Hyperliquid Holds Above $40 as Leverage Builds and Liquidity Risks Mount

Growing leverage near dense liquidity zones signals a sharp move that could test $40 support or pull price toward $50.

Overview

  • Hyperliquid, which reclaimed the $40 level last week on a jump in commodities perpetuals trading, traded near $42 on Monday and stayed above its EMA55 support.
  • Derivatives data show rising futures open interest to about $1.65 billion and positive funding at 0.0077%, pointing to more traders using leverage on the long side.
  • Heatmap models flag thick liquidity between $42 and $46 and another pocket near $50, which often draws price before fast reversals as orders get triggered.
  • Charts show a rising wedge that could break higher toward roughly $50 if momentum holds, though a clean drop through $40 could quickly expose lower demand near $35.
  • Hyperliquid’s design routes up to 97% of trading fees to token buybacks, which can support price even as reports point to plateauing revenue and fading retail attention.
