Key takeaways
HYPE, the native coin of the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange, is down 8% in the last 24 hours, making it the worst performer among the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap.
The bearish performance comes as Bitcoin and the other major cryptocurrencies underperform. HYPE could decline towards the $20 psychological level amid a consolidating market.
HYPE’s bearish performance comes as the coin is losing retail interest due to the current market conditions. Traders are anticipating a rate cut by the Federal Reserve on Monday, but that hasn’t propped up interest in Hyperliquid.
According to CoinGlass, HYPE’s futures Open Interest (OI) is down 5.91% in the last 24 hours to $1.44 billion. The decline suggests a significant liquidity loss in HYPE derivatives as traders adopt a wait-and-watch strategy.
In addition to that, the long liquidations since Monday topped $1.2 million, surpassing short liquidations of $88,160.
The HYPE/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient as Hyperliquid has lost 8% of its value in the last 24 hours. The coin is currently trading below $28, breaking the support around $29.37.
If the bearish trend continues, HYPE’s daily candle could close below the resistance level at $26.03. An extended selloff will bring the October 10 low of $20.84 into focus.
The RSI of 29 shows that HYPE is currently in the oversold territory and could record further losses in the near term. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicates a rise in bearish momentum, with sellers currently in control of the market.
If the bulls retake control of the market, HYPE could reclaim the $30 psychological level before rallying towards the resistance trendline near $34.00.
