Hyperliquid News Today: Blockchain Transaction Fee Battle Elevates Hyperliquid, BNB-HYPE's $50 Challenge Approaches

Hyperliquid (HYPE) has climbed toward the $50 mark, drawing conflicting opinions from technical analysts as market participants debate whether a breakout or a reversal is imminent. The token’s recent price movements have attracted attention in the context of changing blockchain fee dynamics, with Hyperliquid and

HYPE’s price has been consolidating within a descending wedge, and a move above the $41–$42 range could ignite a 54% surge to $61.5, as reported by

. The Aroon Up indicator at 71.4% and a recovering RSI point to buyer dominance, while CoinGlass data reveals a cluster of short liquidations in this area.

If HYPE cannot stay above $46.35, it may revisit the $36–$38 zone, increasing the risk of a long squeeze if sellers take control.

The ongoing competition over blockchain fees has fueled HYPE’s rally. Hyperliquid and BNB Chain now account for 40% and 20% of major L1 fees, respectively, surpassing Solana’s 9% share. This trend points to a shift in user preference toward derivatives trading, which brings in higher fees per transaction than

activity, as highlighted in the TradingView analysis. BNB Chain’s integration with Binance’s retail network has further strengthened its position, while Solana’s waning memecoin trend has left it behind.

The relationship between blockchain trends and traditional banking highlights the market’s shifting risk landscape. While HYPE’s technical indicators remain positive, TD’s downgrade and Solana’s shrinking fee share reveal sector-specific challenges. Investors are likely to monitor HYPE’s $50.7 resistance and TD’s December earnings for further direction, as the crypto asset’s ability to keep its momentum could reshape its role in the derivatives market, according to insights from TradingView and FXStreet.
