Viewpoint: The HYPE technical analysis has pointed to a price target above $100, breaking out of the classic bull flag pattern
On June 1, Hyperliquid’s native token HYPE has rallied more than 30% over the past five days, hitting a new all-time high of over $74. Technical analysts point to a bullish breakout driving the surge: HYPE has broken out of a bull pennant pattern, with a projected upside target of $105—equivalent to an additional ~45% gain from current levels.
From a technical perspective, HYPE saw a sharp run-up in late May, forming a flagpole structure before consolidating in a triangular pattern. The token recently broke above the pattern’s upper boundary on high trading volume, confirming a bull flag pattern.

Derivatives market data underscores the bullish momentum. Open interest for HYPE futures on Hyperliquid hit a new all-time high of $3.5 billion, a sharp jump from around $1.4 billion at the start of the year. Positive funding rates across

Iran Pauses Talks, US Bond Yields Drop, Traders Raise Rate Hike Bets
June 1: U.S. Treasury prices fell as signs of a deadlock emerged in U.S.-Iran peace talks. Investors are growing concerned that soaring energy costs will exacerbate inflation, pushing the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates.
Monday’s sell-off lifted yields across the $31 trillion U.S. Treasury market. The 10-year Treasury yield jumped roughly six basis points to nearly 4.5%, while crude oil prices surged more than 7%. The two-year Treasury yield—most sensitive to Fed policy expectations—also rose about six basis points to 4.07%. The move follows Iran’s earlier suspension of talks with the U.S. via intermediaries in protest of Israeli actions. Traders have ramped up bets the Fed will deliver another rate hike: swap markets now fully price in one increase by March 2027, with a 50% chance of that hike arriving as early as October.

The ruling party in Japan has proposed establishing a cryptocurrency ETF trading framework and promoting the development of a Japanese Yen stablecoin.
June 1 — According to a Reuters report, the blockchain promotion team of Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has submitted a policy proposal to Finance Minister Taro Aso, pushing for a dedicated legal framework for cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and advocating for wider adoption of yen-backed stablecoins.
The proposal notes that crypto ETFs would give investors a more accessible channel to gain exposure to the digital asset market, without requiring them to directly purchase and custody cryptocurrencies.
This April, Japan’s cabinet approved a draft bill amendment to reclassify cryptocurrency from its current status as a payment instrument to a financial product — a move that paves the way for future regulatory framework adjustments.
Should the relevant policies be implemented, Japan will join major markets including the U.S. and Hong Kong, allowing investors to participate in the crypto market through ETFs.
Separately, Japan’s government and industry groups a

Iran Pauses Indirect Talks with U.S. and Threatens to Block Strait of Hormuz
June 1. Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency reported that Iran has decided to suspend all indirect talks and text exchanges with the United States via intermediaries, citing Israel’s recent escalation of military operations in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
The outlet said Tehran is demanding Israel immediately halt its military actions in Gaza and Lebanon and fully withdraw from all occupied Lebanese territory before any negotiations can resume, adding Iran will not restart talks until those conditions are met.
Separately, Iran and the so-called “Resistance Front” have reportedly resolved to completely block the Strait of Hormuz, and have warned they could open additional fronts—including the Strait of Mandeb—as retaliatory steps.
In the wake of the announcement, global oil prices spiked sharply during trading hours: both West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude rose more than 4% at their peak, the U.S. Dollar Index hit a daily high, and U.S. Treasury prices declined.
