The cryptocurrency market is cooling off slightly after a month of strong gains. Bitcoin (BTC) hit a fresh all-time high of $111,970 before retracing to $107,000, while Ethereum (ETH) touched $2,700 and is now hovering around $2,500.
However, despite this mini pullback, one of the standout performers — Hyperliquid (HYPE) — is still trading in the green today with its impressive monthly gains of 88%. Now, a recognizable harmonic pattern is forming on the chart, hinting at a possible continuation of its strong upward trend.

Harmonic Pattern Signals More Upside
On the 1-hour timeframe, HYPE is forming a Bearish Crab harmonic pattern — a reliable structure in technical analysis known for predicting short-term price spikes before a potential reversal.
The pattern began on May 23, when HYPE was rejected from around $37.55 (marked as point X). It then dropped nearly 15% to bottom out near $32.24 (point A).

From there, a steady recovery followed:
- AB leg retraced around 80.1% of the XA leg.
- BC leg corrected nearly 66.9% of AB, fitting well within the expected range for a Bearish Crab pattern.
- HYPE then stabilized near the $33.68 zone (point C), where buyers stepped back in.
The final CD leg is now playing out, with bullish momentum pushing prices higher. If the pattern completes, the D point target lies at $40.74, aligning with the 1.618 Fibonacci extension of the XA leg — a common reversal zone.
What’s Next for HYPE?
With the current price sitting near $35.92, there’s room for another 13–14% upside if HYPE can make its way to the $40.74 target. Before that, though, it faces a minor resistance at the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level around $36.45, which could act as a short-term hurdle.
That said, traders should remain cautious. While the pattern is playing out cleanly, overall market sentiment—especially ETH’s sluggish price action—could influence whether the breakout extends or fizzles out.
