HYPE's sharp pullback follows clear bearish divergence signals, but a hidden bullish divergence is now forming. With key support holding, the setup hints at a potential rebound in the short term.

HYPE put in several back-to-back bearish divergences (higher highs in price and a lower high on the oscillator) in overbought territory. We therefore suggested that price may see a more meaningful pullback, which is what's happened.
In terms of the RSI and divergences, HYPE is now putting in a hidden bullish divergence (higher low in price, and a lower low in the oscillator). This may help the price bounce back to $39-$40 in the short term.
There is relatively strong support for HYPE between $32 and $34. We'd expect this to be a relatively strong area to bid.
Should the $32-$34 area of support be lost, then $28 is the next major horizontal support for HYPE.
To the upside, the local resistance is at $39.40, with the main horizontal resistance being the all-time high of $45.70.
Next Support: $32-$34
Next Resistance: $39.40
Direction: Bearish
Upside Target: $39.40
Downside Target: $32
Cryptonary's take
This pullback for HYPE has been needed in our view, having put in back-to-back bearish divergences in overbought territory, after a long run up, and over 4x up after the lows in early April. Whilst it's possible a small relief rally could be put in, pushing price to $39, our overall view is that HYPE has more room to go lower in the short-term. In terms of buying HYPE, we prefer building a position between $25 and $28, but we may begin between $32 and $34 if structure confirms.
