The bearish outlook for Hyperliquid’s HYPE token continued to build as selling pressure intensified across the market.<\/p>\n

On the 20th April, HYPE declined over 6.15%, trading at $41.05 at press time. At the same time, trading volume surged 101% to $348.95 million.<\/p>\n

That combination suggested active participation, even as sellers drove price lower.<\/p>\n

Is HYPE\u2019s structure breaking down?<\/h2>\n

The daily chart showed Hyperliquid [HYPE]<\/a> maintained a higher high and higher low structure. However, the range tightened as the price moved higher.<\/p>\n

That narrowing pattern resembled a rising wedge, which often precedes downside moves.<\/p>\n

If the price drops below $40.30, the next downside target may emerge near $36.70. However, holding above $41 could still support a short-term recovery attempt.<\/p>\n

Momentum indicators pointed to weakening strength.<\/p>\n

RSI dropped to 52.70, signaling fading bullish momentum and a shift toward neutral conditions.<\/p>\n

At the same time, ADX rose to 26.66, indicating a strengthening trend despite slowing momentum. That mix showed price direction remained firm, even as buying pressure eased.<\/p>\n

Are whales and traders positioning for downside?<\/h2>\n

Data from analytics platform Nansen<\/a> reveals that HYPE\u2019s top 100 addresses have reduced their holdings by 39.99%, pointing to rising selling pressure and a potential sell-off signal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, derivatives data reflected similar sentiment.<\/p>\n

The Liquidation Map highlighted key levels at $40.30 and $42.30, where traders remained overleveraged.<\/p>\n

Around $4.95 million in long positions sat below the price, while $8.72 million in shorts clustered above. That imbalance suggested traders expected further downside in the near term.<\/p>\n
