HYPE’s $35 Plunge: Will It Drown or Just Get Its Toes Wet?

by

Well, shucks, folks, Hyperliquid (HYPE) is sittin’ pretty at $38.27, though it’s takin’ a tumble of 2.31% today. Seems like a double top pattern and a heap of liquidation trouble at $35.03 are fixin’ to send it on a wild ride south. Faster than a catfish on a hook, I reckon.

The critter couldn’t hold its ground above $42.67, and now it’s just sittin’ there, ponderin’ its next move. Two fella signals are waggin’ their fingers, pointin’ the way for the near-term trend.

Long Traders, Y’all Better Start Worryin’

Take a gander at that HYPE liquidation heatmap-it’s thicker than molasses in January, with long positions piled up like firewood at $35.03. That’s a cool $27.36 million in leverage just waitin’ to go up in smoke.

If HYPE dips below $35.03, it’ll be like a stampede at a free barbecue-those positions will get liquidated faster than you can say “sell-off.” That’ll send the price plummetin’ like a rock in a well, and there ain’t no tellin’ where it’ll stop.

Now, between $38 and $35, the heatmap’s as thin as a politician’s promise. The price could slice through that range like a hot knife through butter. And with no big-shot leverage above $39, don’t expect no cavalry to come ridin’ in before $35.03 gets tested.

Selling Pressure’s in the Saddle, and It Ain’t Gettin’ Off

The Klinger Oscillator (KVO) is sittin’ at 8.09K on the daily chart, just above the zero line but headin’ south faster than a Yankee in winter. The signal line’s already turned tail, and the KVO’s fixin’ to cross over into bear country.

This here KVO measures the difference between two volume-weighted EMAs of price, tellin’ you whether money’s flowin’ in or out. When it’s above zero, buyers are callin’ the shots; below zero, sellers take the reins. It’s as simple as pie-or as complicated as explainin’ why a mule kicks.

Back in March, the KVO peaked near 25K, right when HYPE was ridin’ high at $43.76. Since then, it’s been losin’ steam, with three lower highs that mirror the price action like a mirror reflects a fool’s face.

If the KVO crosses below zero, it’ll be like a bear in a berry patch-volume-weighted momentum’ll turn bearish. Last time that happened, HYPE took a tumble, and history’s got a way of repeatin’ itself, like a broken record or a politician’s promise.

The 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level’s at $36.83, the first real stop before the $35.03 liquidation party. If the KVO dips below zero while the price is under $36.83, the path to $32.33-the 0.618 Fibonacci level-becomes as clear as a country stream.

HYPE’s Price Levels to Keep an Eye On

The daily chart shows HYPE’s completed a double top breakdown, and it’s already in motion. The price is sittin’ at $38.27, hoverin’ around support like a vulture circlin’ a carcass.

The pattern’s full downside projection, calculated from the breakdown at $35.03, points HYPE to $21.64. That’s a 37.49% drop, annotated right there on the chart for all to see.

Holdin’ $35.03 is as crucial as a hat in the desert for the bulls. If it breaks, it’ll confirm the double top and open the gates to $32.33, then $28.69. Faster than you can say “bear market,” I reckon.

For the bears to be proven wrong, HYPE’d need to reclaim $38.80 and then bust through $42.67 with the force of a tornado. If it does that, the double top’ll be history, and the bias’ll shift back toward $47.15 resistance.
