For Hyperliquid (HYPE) to reach a fresh all-time high this weekend, two conditions must be met: the $85 region has to hold, and the daily chart then has to clear the Oct. 6 lower high near $95. According to COINOTAG's market update published on Oct. 9, neither condition has been met yet.

At the time of writing, HYPE traded at $85.71, 0.26% lower across the past day. That places the token just above the level flagged as the key near-term support, with the $95 area — the Oct. 6 lower high — standing as the next hurdle on the daily timeframe.

In chart terms, the distinction between the two levels is straightforward. Support marks a zone where prior declines have stalled, so price holding above it keeps the current structure intact. A lower high forms when price peaks below an earlier high, and clearing it is generally treated as a precondition for extending an advance toward a prior peak. A fresh all-time high would, by definition, put HYPE above every level it has ever traded at — which is why the report frames the $85–$95 range as the deciding corridor heading into the weekend.

Background on Hyperliquid and HYPE

Hyperliquid is a decentralized exchange focused on perpetual futures — derivative contracts with no expiry date that traders commonly use to hold leveraged long or short positions. It operates on its own Layer 1 blockchain. The platform combines an on-chain order book, which matches buy and sell orders at listed prices much like a traditional exchange interface, with low-latency execution, and has ranked among the most active venues in decentralized derivatives trading.

HYPE is the native token of the ecosystem. It was distributed to users in a November 2024 airdrop that counted among the largest token distributions in cryptocurrency history, and it is used for staking and fee-related functions within the protocol, giving the token a direct operational role on the platform.

Per the original report, the $85 support region and the $95 lower high therefore frame the token's near-term price structure heading into the weekend.
