Hyperliquid whales accumulate over $17M HYPE – Is supply tightening?

Hyperliquid [$HYPE] whale accumulation intensified after several large investors increased their exposure through a series of sizable transfers that drew attention across the market.

Fansara Capital’s wallet 0x644 received 146,853 $HYPE worth approximately $10 million from FalconX.

Shortly afterward, a newly created wallet received another 108,000 $HYPE valued at roughly $7.3 million from the same source.

Together, the transfers moved more than 254,000 $HYPE into private wallets, highlighting continued interest from large holders despite recent price fluctuations.

Tokens kept leaving exchanges

Exchange withdrawal activity remained dominant as spot netflows stayed negative.

Data from the spot inflow and outflow chart showed a netflow reading of negative $459.11K on the 19th of June, indicating that outflows exceeded inflows during the session. That trend aligned with the whale transactions observed on-chain.

Rather than moving tokens toward exchanges, market participants removed more $HYPE from trading venues. As a result, exchange-held supply declined while private wallet balances increased.

Recent sessions also recorded several negative netflow readings before a brief recovery, suggesting that the broader withdrawal trend remained intact.

While netflows alone did not determine future price direction, persistent exchange outflows reflected lower immediate selling pressure because fewer tokens remained available for trading.

Bulls absorbed the largest losses

Liquidation data revealed that bullish traders endured the majority of losses during $HYPE’s recent retracement. Total long liquidations reached approximately $1.65 million on the 19th of June, while short liquidations stood near $116.45K.

The imbalance suggested that many leveraged traders entered positions during the rally toward resistance and later faced forced closures as the market pulled back.

Exchange-specific data supported that trend. Hyperliquid recorded roughly $698.06K in long liquidations, while Binance registered about $533.75K. Several other exchanges also reported elevated long-side losses.

Despite the heavy liquidation activity, bearish traders did not gain a decisive advantage because short liquidations remained relatively limited. Instead, the data pointed to a leverage reset that removed aggressive long exposure from the market.

Such conditions could create a healthier market structure if demand returns after excess leverage leaves the system.

Can $HYPE reclaim $75 next?

Price action remained constructive despite the decline from resistance near $75.

$HYPE defended the $64 support zone and traded around $66.93 at the time of analysis, preserving a higher-low structure on the daily chart.

The MACD also reflected improving conditions. The MACD line remained above the signal line, posting readings of 3.16 and 2.92, respectively.

In addition, the histogram stayed in positive territory, indicating that bullish strength had not fully disappeared despite the recent pullback.

Earlier in June, $HYPE rebounded from the $52.78 support area before advancing toward resistance.

Sellers later emerged around $75 and triggered a correction, yet buyers maintained control of the broader structure by defending key support levels.

If buyers continue protecting the $64 zone, $HYPE could challenge the $75 resistance area again.

However, if sellers push the token below support, $HYPE could revisit lower demand zones before another recovery attempt develops.

Final Summary

• Whale purchases and exchange outflows reduced available $HYPE trading supply.
• Long liquidations surged, yet buyers continued defending the $64 support.
