Hyperliquid eyes 55% price rise after Silicon Valley investor’s ‘massive HYPE buy’
MarketsPublishedMay 18, 2026
Why a 55% Price Rise for HYPE Matters to You
Earning passive income through cryptocurrency can be a game-changer for everyday people. The potential 55% price rise of HYPE, Hyperliquid DEX’s native token, is significant news that can impact your earning potential. With a strong bullish long-term chart pattern, HYPE is on track for a potential rally above $70 this year. This could lead to increased earning opportunities for those invested in the token.
Understanding the Bullish Chart Pattern
A cup-and-handle pattern is forming, which is a classic bullish continuation setup. This pattern indicates that HYPE may break out above the $45–$47 resistance zone, leading to a potential price rise. The “cup” developed after HYPE’s price fell from around $46 to nearly $21, then gradually recovered in a rounded structure back toward the $45–$47 resistance zone.
Key takeaways:
- HYPE’s three-day chart shows a potential cup-and-handle breakout, with the neckline sitting near $45–$47.
- ETF launch, Coinbase-Circle USDC roles, and potential US regulatory clarity may expand Hyperliquid’s institutional demand base.

Institutional Catalysts and Accumulation
A wallet reportedly tied to Silicon Valley-based venture capitalist a16z accumulated $90.87 million worth of HYPE tokens in just over a month. This fresh on-chain accumulation signal supports HYPE’s bullish technical setup. Large venture-linked accumulation can strengthen market confidence, especially when it occurs while the price is already testing a major resistance zone. This can lead to increased confidence in Hyperliquid’s growth and potentially boost HYPE demand.
What This Means for Earning Opportunities
The potential price rise of HYPE can lead to increased earning opportunities for those invested in the token. With EcoPool, you can earn passive income through cloud rewards and green crypto.

As of Monday, HYPE was forming the structure’s “handle” part, confirmed by its slightly downward consolidation. The token may climb toward the $71–$72 range in 2026 if the breakout above the $45–$47 neckline area plays out as intended.
That would mean about 55% rise from current prices, a new record high for the token.
a16z-linked wallet accumulates $90.87M HYPE
HYPE’s bullish technical setup has gained support from a fresh on-chain accumulation signal.
On Monday, wallet 0xb5E4, which Lookonchain describes as linked to Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z, bought another 372,000 HYPE worth about $16.91 million in three hours.

HYPE stood out in an otherwise weaker crypto market, gaining roughly 7% over 24 hours as Bitcoin (BTC) slipped 1.22% and Ether (ETH) lost 2.22%. On a year-to-date timeframe, HYPE was up 80% compared to BTC’s and ETH’s losses of nearly 12.5% and 28.3%.

The latest “massive HYPE buy” lifted the a16z-linked wallet’s total accumulation since April 14 to 2.11 million HYPE, valued at roughly $90.87 million.

Large venture-linked accumulation may strengthen market confidence, especially when it occurs while the price is already testing a major resistance zone.
The reported a16z-linked purchases add to a strong catalyst run for Hyperliquid.
Last week’s US spot HYPE ETF launches opened a regulated access point for traditional investors, while Coinbase and Circle’s USDC deployment roles strengthened Hyperliquid’s stablecoin infrastructure capabilities.
Trader Pentoshi said Hyperliquid’s revenue could “grow 5x–10x” if a compliant US framework, such as the CLARITY Act, allows hedge funds, prop desks, and asset managers to trade on the platform.

Higher institutional activity may boost HYPE demand through stronger volume, revenues, and confidence in Hyperliquid’s growth.
