Hyperliquid's $52 Pivot Point Looms Amidst Heavy Token Unlocks

Hyperliquid's price action remains closely watched as it navigates an ascending channel. The next reaction around $52 will be pivotal, with Arthur Hayes warning about excess tokens potentially outpacing demand.

Hyperliquid's 30-day trading volume reached $270B, demonstrating resilience despite Aster's dominance. Aster, however, posted over $90B in 24h perpetual volume compared to Hyperliquid's $10B. The first HYPE token unlock is scheduled for November 29, 2025, with 237.8 million tokens to be released over 24 months. Heavy unlock schedules don't necessarily break markets, depending on liquidity and trading activity.

Analysts anticipate a revisit to the $51 to $52 resistance band before the current rally leg matures. A clean breakout above $52 could reset bullish targets towards $60 and beyond. However, buybacks are expected to cover only a fraction of the new supply, and monthly token unlocks starting in November could reach $500M.

Hyperliquid's price action will be crucial in the coming months, with the $52 level acting as a potential turning point. The market's compass will determine whether accumulation resumes or short-term profit-taking dominates. The first HYPE token unlock in late 2025 may influence the market, but heavy unlock schedules don't always break markets.
