HYPE burn reaches $1.32M as Hyperliquid whales accumulate: Is $100 within reach?

The supply dynamics of Hyperliquid [HYPE] strengthened as the protocol accelerated token burns, adding a layer of scarcity around the token’s available supply.

Within 24 hours, Hyperliquid bought and burned 15.35K HYPE worth approximately $1.32 million. The protocol paid an average price of around $86.17, extending its revenue-backed token removal strategy.

As of press time, the total lifetime burns stand at 48.45 million HYPE, valued at $4.11 billion using the current market valuation. 

Significantly, this token burning activity permanently removed approximately 4.84% of HYPE’s maximum token supply.

Therefore, the recent buy extended an already established supply contraction trend rather than representing an isolated burn event,  while preventing those tokens from returning to circulation.

However, the reduced supply still requires sufficient demand to influence the HYPE’s broader price structure. 

The token’s exchange flows and whale accumulation, therefore, provided further evidence that the readily available market supply also tightened.

Whale accumulation strengthens the outflow narrative

As of at the time of writing, HYPE had  recorded around $1.39 million in negative spot netflows, implying outflows exceeded inflows during the measured period. 

Noteworthy, the negative reading represented net movement between both flows, not the actual amount withdrawn from exchanges.

Alongside these outflows, Lookonchain highlighted persistent accumulation from a specific trader across ten consecutive days. 

The market participant bought 194,210 HYPE, valued at approximately $16.79 million, through repeated transactions from exchange hot wallets, rather than relying on one large transaction. 

Meanwhile, the negative netflows indicated that the broader exchange balances faced additional withdrawal pressure during the latest session.

Combined with the Hyperliquid’s token burn activity, these developments strengthen the argument for tightening readily available supply. 

HYPE support faces weakening buying strength 

At press time, HYPE traded around $84.22 after buyers challenged the $88.14 resistance zone but failed to establish support above the barrier. The price then returned toward the $83.82 level, placing the immediate support under increasing pressure.

Notably, the RSI shows a weakening trendline towards 60.28, while its moving average remained higher at 67.44 level. 

The divergence indicates that buyers faced a cooling strength while defending a level separating consolidation from a potentially deeper retracement.

However, despite the decline, the RSI remained above the neutral territory, leaving the broader recovery structure intact around the current price levels. 

A strong defense of the $83.82 support level will likely preserve another attempt toward the rejected $88.14 resistance  area.

A break above this $88.14 level would strengthen the bullish structure and open a potential path toward the psychological $100 price level. 

However, losing the $83.82 support would increase downside exposure, with $80 becoming the next significant support zone.

Final Summary

• HYPE supply tightened as burns, Spot outflows, and whale accumulation aligned.
• Holding $83.82 would  keep $88.14 level and overhead liquidity within reach.
