The first Hyperliquid ETF officially began trading on Tuesday, and early signs suggest it cleared a key hurdle for a new product: a strong first day relative to typical exchange-traded product launches. The fund was approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and was created by crypto asset manager 21Shares, with the ETF now trading under the ticker $THYP on the Nasdaq. Hyperliquid ETF Launch Recap Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart weighed in on the debut Hyperliquid ETF debut, offering what amounted to a clear-but-cautious read on the numbers. In a Tuesday post on X, Seyffart said $THYP finished the day at $1.8 million in trading, describing it as “very very solid” and stronger than an average ETF launch—though not in a category that he would label as extraordinary. Related Reading: Circle Banks $200M From Giants Like BlackRock In Arc Token Presale, CRCL Jumps 15% Alongside the trading activity, 21Shares also shared key launch disclosures. The firm set the fund’s management fee at 0.3%. By comparison, Morgan Stanley’s spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund, $MSBT, carries the lowest fee at 0.14%. In addition to pricing, 21Shares disclosed $1.2 million in net inflows on day one for its Hyperliquid ETF, giving investors another datapoint for how quickly demand may have formed after the launch. Even so, the broader market context may complicate near-term performance expectations. At the time of writing, Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE, was down 3.5%, testing the $40 level as support. This decrease coincides with a period of market uncertainty brought on by Bitcoin’s recent retrace after failing to breach $83,000 during last week’s surge. If the $80,000 support breaks, some analysts believe this might lead to a new correction. If sentiment worsens again, it could potentially weigh on demand for 21Shares’ Hyperliquid ETF offering as well—particularly if inflows soften after the initial launch period. Bitwise And Grayscale Update HYPE ETF Filings Looking beyond 21shares’ Hyperliquid ETF launch, attention is now turning to other issuers. The market is watching Bitwise and Grayscale, both of which have updated their spot HYPE ETF filings, strengthening the sense that additional products could follow soon.

CryptoQuant’s Bitcoin Bull-Bear Cycle Indicator is flashing a green signal for the first time since March 2023. Here’s what it could mean for the asset. Bitcoin Now In “Early Bull” Phase On CryptoQuant’s Market Cycle Indicator As highlighted by an analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, the CryptoQuant Bitcoin Bull-Bear Market Cycle Indicator has signaled a shift for the cryptocurrency recently. This indicator tells us, as its name suggests, about the phase of the cycle that BTC is potentially inside right now. Related Reading: SUI Surges 40%: Analytics Firm Explains What’s Driving The Rally The metric is based on CryptoQuant’s P&L Index, which combines the data of several key on-chain indicators to provide a single score for the network. The P&L Index’s interactions with its 365-day moving average (MA) are considered to correspond to phase shifts for BTC. The Bull-Bear Market Cycle Indicator captures this relationship by tracking the difference between the two. When the Bull-Bear Market Cycle Indicator has a high value on either side of the scale, it means that the P&L Index is a significant distance above/below its average value from the past year. Such a trend can indicate that the asset is in an extreme phase. Similarly, the indicator being close to the zero mark can imply the market may be in a phase transition. Now, here is a chart that shows how the metric has looked for Bitcoin recently: As displayed in the above graph, the CryptoQuant Bitcoin Bull-Bear Market Cycle Indicator dropped to a deep negative value after the price crash at the start of February. This low in the metric coincided with an “Extreme Bear” phase reading (shaded in purple) for the market. The indicator stayed inside this zone only for a few brief instances; however, as the cryptocurrency quickly found some stability. Throughout March and April, the metric remained in the “Bear” territory (blue), suggesting that while the P&L Index wasn’t at an extreme distance below its 365-day MA, it was still low enough to correlate to bearish market conditions. As the price recovered, though, the Bull-Bear Cycle Indicator became less negative. And finally, with the latest continuation to the rally in May, it has left the Bear region altogether, with its value now implying an “Early Bull” phase (green). Historically, this phase has often been followed by bullish transitions for the sector. As the chart below highlights, the signal appeared in both 2019 and 2023. It’s also apparent in the graph, however, that a false signal also surfaced in March 2022. “Instead of confirming a new bull market, the signal marked a local top before Bitcoin continued its broader downtrend,” noted the quant. Given this, it now remains to be seen which of the two categories the new signal will fall into.

Bitcoin continues to trend higher, demonstrating resilience despite short-term volatility and pressure from resistance. Rather than displaying signs of heavy distribution or aggressive selling, the market has maintained a constructive structure with shallow pullbacks and consistent higher highs, reinforcing confidence in the broader bullish trend. Strong Stability Of Bitcoin Above Key Levels Bitcoin is demonstrating significant resilience, according to analyst Sykodelic, who notes a lack of massive sell-offs or hard rejections. Instead, the market is producing higher highs following only minor pullbacks. BTC has successfully cleared multiple key levels and is currently consolidating to build the strength necessary for its next major expansion. Related Reading: Top Analyst Confirms The Bearish Target: Bitcoin Could Ease Down To $40,000 A pivotal technical milestone has been reached, as Bitcoin has remained above the Bull market support band for ten consecutive days. This zone, which incorporates the true market mean and Short-Term Holder (STH) cost basis, is now beginning to trend upward. This shift suggests that the primary trend is strengthening and providing a solid floor for current price action. BTC recently secured a daily close above the 200D EMA, a level that typically causes hard rejections in weak market structures. Sykodelic highlights that rather than failing at this resistance, Bitcoin is coiling up for another attempt. The broader financial landscape has shifted into a risk-on environment, further supporting the bullish case for crypto assets. Bitcoin’s ability to repeatedly test and hold near the 200D EMA suggests that the path of least resistance is now to the upside. Given this structural strength, Sykodelic anticipates that the $85,000 level will be breached, potentially within the current week. Such a move would represent a definitive breakout from the current range and signal the start of a more aggressive rally. Lower Timeframe Price Action Remains Choppy And Unclear In a recent market update, analyst Minga noted that price action on the lower timeframes (LTF) is currently disordered, lacking the clean structure necessary for high-conviction trading. Following a rejection from the weekly open, the market’s bias leans bearish. However, for a sustained bearish continuation to materialize, the price must remain suppressed below the critical $82,100 resistance region. Related Reading: Bitcoin Open Interest Explodes Beyond 2025 All-Time High Levels On the downside, the $80,600 level has been identified as the primary local support zone. As long as the market successfully defends this floor, a potential recovery toward the $84,000 target remains a viable scenario. This creates a narrow range where the immediate trend is undecided, leaving the asset caught between a vital weekly resistance and a firm local support. Given the current lack of structural clarity, Minga suggests that the most prudent move is to remain patient for the market to provide more definitive confirmation regarding its directional intent for the remainder of the week.
