HYPE Hits Price Discovery — Is the Crypto Cycle Turning?

Hyperliquid (HYPE) has entered price discovery on the weekly chart while Bitcoin sits roughly 41% off its all-time high and most altcoins remain flat — a setup one analyst is comparing directly to Chainlink's breakout in June–July 2019, which preceded a broad crypto bull market by several months.

The macro backdrop is what makes the parallel compelling. PMI has just crossed back into expansion territory, a condition that has historically coincided with crypto bull markets. The S&P 500 is at all-time highs, copper-to-gold ratio has seen a MACD cross above its signal line alongside a break of the 20-month moving average — a confluence that has previously flagged major crypto upside. Quantitative tightening also ended recently, mirroring the post-QT dip that preceded the 2019–2020 crypto rally.
