Can Hyperliquid (HYPE) Reach $38 Amid North Korean Activity Concerns?
With the fresh recovery run plans for the week ahead, Hyperliquid is ready to prolong the massive bull run. Although the Hyperliquid growth trajectory forms a bullish pattern, the North Korean hackers scare away the users, drying the netflows.
A whale purchased 4,428,867 HYPE tokens worth $12.22M over the past year, reflecting strong confidence in the token's bullish potential.
$256k outflow in the last 24 hours follows news of North Korean hackers exploiting the platform, raising concerns over security and volatility.
The HYPE token is trading at $28.31 with a 2.91% surge in the last 24 hours and bullish indicators pointing toward a potential rally to $34.48 and $38.22.

With a 2.91% surge during the last 24 hours, Hyperliquid plans to extend its 30-day bullish run of 785% as the New Year’s Eve inches closer.
Hyperliquid (HYPE) Ready For Take Off!
Currently, the HYPE token is trading at $28.31, preparing for a bounce back with an intraday growth of 1.37%. In the 4-hour chart, the HYPE price action reveals a rising channel pattern.
Currently, the Hyperliquid token is trading near the local support trend line. However, with the intraday recovery and lower price rejection, the altcoin is preparing to increase its resistance to $29.49, adding support to the bullish recovery chances.
The MACD and Signal lines are preparing for a bullish crossover. Furthermore, the 4-hour RSI line has started a recovery run to cross the halfway line.
Hence, the momentum indicators are reflecting a shift in trend polarity, increasing the bullish chances. The breakout rally could reach the $34.48 previous peak.
This increases the chances of Hyperliquid reaching the overhead resistance trend line near the $38.22 mark. On the flip side, in case of a bearish closing below the local support trendline, the altcoin could retest the crucial support zone near the $21.84 mark.
Over the past year since the formation of the bridge, the whale has spent 12.22 million USDC to buy 4,428,867 HYPE tokens. The average price of this buying spree is estimated at $28.5.
Here’s Why Short-term Volatility Could Grow
Amid the massive purchase, the whale’s confidence is clearly evident, increasing the chances of HYPE continuing its bullish trend in 2025. However, during the last 24 hours, the Hyperliquid network has seen a net outflow of $256k.
The massive outflow comes from the news of North Korean hackers trading on the platform. Over the past year, the North Korean hackers have exploited nearly $1.34 billion in the crypto market this year.
As the crypto market continues to face problems from North Korean hackers, the significant outflow comes as a preventive measure against losing funds to North Korea.
