HYPE whale buys $37M as institutional transfers test $72M supply

A new wallet accumulated 440,000 HYPE worth $37.26 million from FalconX, countering institutional deposits that pushed roughly $72 million of the token toward exchange venues.

On-chain data from Lookonchain and OnchainLens shows Multicoin Capital deposited 815,885 HYPE worth $59.8 million into Coinbase Prime over ten days, while Bitwise moved 145,170 HYPE worth $12.04 million to Hyperliquid, the largest single transfer being 82,580 HYPE worth about $7.11 million.

The combined institutional moves totaled roughly $71.8 million. Spot netflows flipped to -$1.05 million as of the latest reading, after climbing to about $12 million on 27 August, indicating outflows had begun to exceed inflows and easing the exchange-side pressure that accompanied HYPE's recent rally.

HYPE on Hyperliquid traded near $83.17 after sellers halted a rally at $86.95, with the reclaimed $75 breakout zone now the key support. Clearing $86.95 would open a path toward $100, while a deeper pullback could target liquidity between $80 and $82.50.

Whale demand absorbs $72M institutional supply

The fresh wallet purchase from FalconX absorbed a meaningful share of the institutional flow. Multicoin Capital's deposits into Coinbase Prime over ten days brought substantial potential supply to an institutional exchange venue, while Bitwise's transfers to Hyperliquid added to the distribution pressure. The whale accumulation strengthened the demand side even as those deposits continued.

Overbought RSI tests $75 breakout zone

HYPE's recovery has held above the $75 resistance level, with buyers pushing the token into the previous $75-$79 supply area before sellers halted the advance at $86.95. The pullback to $83.17 remained above the reclaimed breakout zone, keeping the bullish structure intact. The RSI sat at 74.37 as of press time, with its average at 69.69, placing the token in overbought territory after rapid price expansion. Cooling pressure could keep HYPE consolidating above the reclaimed region rather than invalidating the breakout.

Binance's liquidation heatmap showed dense downside liquidity between $80 and $82.50, with another cluster building near $86 to $87, overlapping the $86.95 resistance. HYPE traded between the two liquidation areas, meaning a deeper retracement could target the lower cluster before retesting the reclaimed zone, while stronger buying pressure would bring the upper concentration back into focus. Clearing $86.95 would help open up the breakout and shift attention to the $100 level.
