Hyperliquid perps

A perpetual does not resolve. It just keeps printing.

HYPE, BTC, ETH and SOL on Hyperliquid are perpetual futures. The candle is a price on an axis that does not end at 0 or 1. If you arrived here from the Polymarket guides, most of those instincts have to be put down before the first wick means what you think it means.

What a perpetual is, in one page

A perpetual futures contract tracks an underlying price and does not expire. There is no Friday settlement that forces the last print to a binary. Funding, on the venue, is how the perp is tethered to spot. Predm does not place that funding payment. It is a read-only terminal. The chart is the price path.

That path is the familiar crypto object. Open, high, low and close in dollars. Volume as notional traded. Open interest as notional still open. 24-hour change as a percent of price. The homepage scanner writes those fields on the Hyperliquid rows and leaves open interest blank on the Polymarket ones, because pasting a perp number onto an event would be a category error.

Hyperliquid candlestick charts is the primer for the four numbers. This page is the market-structure half: what a perp adds, what it removes, and which TA habits survive.

What transfers from every other crypto chart

Range before direction. A day that closes +0.9% with a two-percent wick each way is not a quiet day. BTC on the homepage teaching board is built as that shape: long end still up, short end already rolling over. The close is the least interesting of the four numbers.

Prior highs and lows as memory. People park orders where they have already been hurt. That is as true on HYPE-PERP as it is on a Binance BTC perp. Predm does not read Binance today; the structure is the same kind of book.

Multi-timeframe agreement as a filter. A perp that is up on the month and breaking on the hour is a pullback or a turn. You cannot know which from a row of dots. You can know not to treat the daily close as settled. The signals guide is shared across both venues on purpose.

Volume and open interest as conditions. A breakout on a dead book is a drawing. A breakout that expands open interest is a book taking the other side. The scanner shows both numbers when the venue has them.

What a perpetual adds — and what Predm will not invent

Leverage, liquidation, and funding are the three words people reach for. Two of them are venue facts Predm does not execute. You cannot open a leveraged position here. You cannot be liquidated here. Funding accrues on Hyperliquid, not in this terminal.

What you can read is the residue of those facts on the candle. A cascade leaves a wick. A crowded side that gets run leaves a range the close cannot hide. That is why the chart still earns its keep on a perp even though the interesting plumbing lives on the venue.

This page will not publish a funding-rate dashboard Predm does not ship, and it will not describe HIP-4 event markets as if they were in the live set. The live Hyperliquid surface here is perps. When that changes, this paragraph changes the same day.

Overnight prints are real prints

A 03:00 UTC wick on a thin Polymarket political long-shot is often one person. The same hour on BTC-PERP is a global book. Crypto perps do not get a human-hours discount the way a prediction market often should. Polymarket vs crypto charts is the general case; Hyperliquid is the live instance of the crypto half.

That does not make every overnight wick meaningful. It makes the default assumption the opposite of the Polymarket one. Start from “this printed” and then ask whether size was there. Do not start from “nobody was awake.”

A small toolkit that stays honest on perps

1. Is the candle filled? Liquid perps fill 5-minute bars. New listings may not. Blank on the board is the honest output.

2. Where is the range relative to the close? A tight body under a tall wick is a rejected probe. The close alone will call it a rest day.

3. Do the timeframes agree? Alignment on a perp that never resolves is closer to a real trend than alignment on a 97% event the night before settlement. Still open the chart.

4. What is open interest doing? Expanding into a break is a different book from a break that sheds open interest. The number is on the row. Use it.

Technical analysis for prediction markets is the sibling page for the other venue. Do not run that toolkit on HYPE and call it a system. The bound, the destination, and the other side of the book are all missing.

HYPE is not BTC with a different sticker

The homepage teaching board puts HYPE aligned up, BTC split long-versus-short, and SOL aligned down on the same table. That is a reading lesson, not a claim that the three perps are interchangeable. HYPE is the venue’s own token. Its liquidity, its audience, and the news that moves it are not the BTC complex with a reskin.

A method that treats every Hyperliquid row as “crypto, therefore the same toolkit” will overtrade the thin names and under-read the majors. Start from whether the 5-minute cells fill. If they do not, you do not have an intraday perp. You have a daily candle and a hope. The board will tell you that before a blog post will.

The snapshot prices on that board are dated. Do not quote them as a live mark. Quote the shape: aligned, divergent, insufficient. Those are the words the terminal is willing to stand behind after the numbers have moved.

What this does not do

Not a brokerage. Predm is read-only. Sizing, leverage and settlement happen on Hyperliquid.

Not a funding or liquidation feed. If a pane is not in the terminal, it is not on this page. Inventing one to rank for “Hyperliquid funding” would be the SIGNUP_OPEN mistake in a heading.

Not every perp venue. Aster, Binance and Kraken are coming soon. This is a Hyperliquid page.

Questions people actually ask

Is a Hyperliquid perp chart the same as a Binance perp chart?
Same kind of instrument: unbounded price, no binary resolution, open interest, 24-hour percent change. Predm does not read Binance today, so this is a structural comparison, not a product claim.
Does Predm show Hyperliquid funding rates?
This terminal charts the perp and the multi-timeframe board. It does not invent a funding pane to complete a glossary. Funding settles on the venue.
Why do some scanner rows show open interest and some show a dash?
Open interest is a perp field. Polymarket events on the same board do not have an honest equivalent, so they show a dash. A guessed number would look more complete and be more wrong.
Can I use the same stops I use on crypto perps?
The chart will not stop you. The instrument is the same kind of book. Just do not carry those stops onto a Polymarket event and expect the same gap behaviour. The comparison is the place for that warning.

The charts these notes describe live in the terminal.

Predm is a read-only analytics terminal for prediction markets and crypto. It rebuilds OHLC candlesticks from the raw trade feed, computes holder concentration per side, and reads multi-timeframe signals across Polymarket and Hyperliquid. You cannot place a trade here.
