The Shocking Truth About HYPE: Is It Headed for a 37% Plunge?

by

Ah, the enigmatic world of Hyperliquid (HYPE), currently frolicking at a mere $39, which is down a sprightly 2.79% today. It seems our dear friend HYPE has tripped over itself, failing to cling to its lofty heights above $42. If you squint at the chart-and I do mean squint-you’ll see a double top formation that looks about as promising as a soggy biscuit. And for the first time since early March, capital flow data is tipping negative, like a seesaw with an elephant on one side.

The $42 mark-oh, what a lofty pinnacle it is-harbors the largest short liquidation cluster in the past 30 days. The likelihood of HYPE soaring above it is now about as likely as finding a unicorn in your backyard.

Short Liquidations Lurking in HYPE’s Shadows

According to the HYPE liquidation map-which sounds slightly more exciting than it actually is-there’s a whopping $13.24 million in cumulative short liquidation leverage just waiting to pounce at the $42 price point. Think of it as a ceiling that says “nope” rather than a launchpad into the stratosphere.

For HYPE to finally break free and trigger a real short squeeze, buyers would need to wrestle down that $13.24 million in stacked short leverage. With the CMF languishing at zero and on a decline, it’s clear that demand has packed its bags and left town.

Capital Is Fleeing HYPE Like It’s on Fire

The CMF on the HYPE chart had a brief fling with excitement, peaking near 0.20 around March 15-19 as the price danced toward $42. But now, it’s been in a steady decline, reaching a thrilling 0.00 on March 26-how thrilling indeed!

A CMF reading of zero means buying and selling volumes are so perfectly balanced they could star in a tightrope act. Any further decline pushes the indicator below zero, signaling that capital is packing its bags and heading for the exit. This transition from positive to negative is akin to hitting the brakes before a nasty crash, suggesting that sustained price drops are more likely than some happy consolidation.

CMF spent the early part of March like an eager beaver, climbing from 0.05 to 0.20, fueling HYPE’s rally to $42. Alas, that tailwind has now deflated faster than a balloon at a kid’s birthday party.

HYPE Price Prediction: Double Top Signals a Descent to $21

HYPE is busy forming a double top pattern, which sounds much more impressive than it really is. The first peak popped up around $38 in early February, followed by a second peak near $43 in mid-March. And now, as if on cue, it’s falling again. The chart’s annotated measured move suggests a delightful 37.49% decline from the current breakdown zone, ultimately aiming for the target of $21. How charming!

Currently, HYPE is trading at $39. If it manages to close below $35 over two days, we can all toast to the confirmation of a double top breakdown and a delightful trip to $21. Should we go below $35, we have visible support levels waiting patiently at $32, then $28, then $26, and so on, until we reach the coveted $21 destination.

For the optimistic among us, a daily close above $42 would invalidate this bearish scenario. That level serves as both the resistance of the double top neckline and the apex of the short liquidation cluster. Breaking above would not only defy gravity, but it would also squeeze out $13.24 million in shorts and pave the way toward $44 and beyond-wherever “beyond” may be.
