HYPE Price Outlook

Amid the ongoing ecosystem growth, HYPE is trading around $25, gaining 4% in the past 24 hours. After falling to $9.20 on April 7, the 19th largest cryptocurrency has rebounded 57% in the past month. During this time, it added $3.37 billion to its market cap.

On the daily HYPE price chart, the RSI sits just below the overbought region, suggesting strong momentum. However, investors must keep an eye on potential exhaustion, especially around the strong resistance at $26.

Meanwhile, the price is riding the upper Bollinger Band, a classic sign of strength but also a potential reversal point. If the price fails to hold this level and drops to mid-band (20-day SMA) at $22.10, traders could see some consolidation in the short-term.

The MACD indicator remains in bullish territory with the MACD line above the signal line, showing continued upward momentum. A decisive breakout above $27.50 could lead the token to $30+.
