While the structure has offered predictable trading levels, repeated rejection near resistance suggests buyers are becoming cautious after recent gains.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-664713 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HYPEUSD_2026-02-18_16-50-35.png?w=955&amp;resize=955%2C660\" alt=\"Hyperliquid HYPE HYPEUSD HYPEUSD_2026-02-18_16-50-35\" width=\"955\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HYPEUSD_2026-02-18_16-50-35.png?w=2058 2058w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HYPEUSD_2026-02-18_16-50-35.png?w=608 608w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HYPEUSD_2026-02-18_16-50-35.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HYPEUSD_2026-02-18_16-50-35.png?w=955 955w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HYPEUSD_2026-02-18_16-50-35.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HYPEUSD_2026-02-18_16-50-35.png?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HYPEUSD_2026-02-18_16-50-35.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HYPEUSD_2026-02-18_16-50-35.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 955px) 100vw, 955px\"><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Range Trading Defines the Current Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/currencies\/hyperliquid\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hyperliquid (<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/currencies\/hyperliquid\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HYPE)<\/a> briefly moved above $31 earlier this week before retracing, supporting resistance between $32 and $35. Analysts note that the $27.50\u2013$28.50 region remains the most important support area, where buyers have consistently stepped in during recent volatility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holding above roughly $28.98 is viewed as critical for maintaining bullish continuation. A successful defense could allow a renewed attempt toward $32.28 and potentially $35 if momentum returns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, failure to hold this zone may expose the token to deeper downside, with projections pointing toward $25\u2013$26 as the next support band. The consolidation comes after the token declined nearly 25% from its yearly high near $37.8, reflecting broader crypto market weakness and reduced risk appetite across digital assets.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bearish Signals Emerge as Hyperliquid\u2019s\u00a0 Activity Slows<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technical indicators are sending mixed signals. A bearish MACD crossover and weakening momentum readings suggest selling pressure has increased, while neutral RSI levels indicate the market has not yet reached oversold conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fundamentals have also softened. Weekly <a href=\"https:\/\/tokenterminal.com\/explorer\/projects\/hyperliquid\/metrics\/revenue\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">protocol revenue<\/a> recently dropped more than 50%, alongside a decline in total value locked. Lower activity reduces the platform\u2019s capacity to fund token buybacks, easing deflationary pressure that previously supported price recovery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite this, market participants continue to monitor institutional developments around Hyperliquid, including expanding liquidity access through integrations and growing participation from larger traders.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Can HYPE Reclaim Momentum?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Short-term direction now depends largely on whether support near $28 holds. A bounce from this region could trigger renewed buying interest and reopen the path toward $34\u2013$35. Conversely, a confirmed breakdown may accelerate losses if broader crypto market conditions remain weak.<\/p>\n<p>Related Reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-ghost-whale-hong-kong-q4-ibit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Bitcoin \u2018Ghost Whale\u2019 Emerges: New Hong Kong Filer Tops Q4 IBIT Buys<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Declining volume and cautious sentiment suggest traders are waiting for clearer confirmation.
