. This investor entered a 5x leveraged trade at an average entry of $38.85, accumulating more than 1 million HYPE tokens. With HYPE currently trading around $40.20, the position is showing an unrealized gain of roughly $1.38 million. The liquidation threshold is set at $22.34, indicating a strong belief in further price appreciation.

Hyperliquid Strategies' equity raise, managed by Chardan Capital Markets, involves issuing up to 160 million shares as part of a larger organizational overhaul. The company is close to finalizing a merger with Sonnet BioTherapeutics and the special-purpose acquisition company Rorschach I LLC, which will result in a new entity listed on Nasdaq under a yet-to-be-announced ticker, according to the article. Leadership roles have already been assigned, with Bob Diamond from Barclays as chairman and David Schamis as CEO. The newly formed company will hold 12.6 million HYPE tokens and $305 million in cash, which is planned to be used for staking to generate long-term returns, the report states.

Technical indicators point to a continued bullish outlook for HYPE, with price action forming a falling wedge pattern on the 4-hour chart, as highlighted in a

. Should the price break above the $41–$42 resistance zone, a surge of up to 54% toward $61.50 could follow, supported by strong Aroon signals and a 24-hour liquidation heatmap indicating heavy short positions in this area. The analysis also identifies support between $36 and $38, where notable liquidation activity could help stabilize the price if a correction occurs.

The mixed sentiment in the crypto market is further illustrated by a separate $31.84 million
