$HYPE drops nearly 5% as $803M in crypto liquidations shake the market. Is this a temporary shakeout or more downside ahead?
Hyperliquid's HYPE token fell 4.71% to $83.16, with approximately $19.04M in HYPE-related leveraged positions liquidated during a broader market selloff.
The decline appears driven mainly by forced selling and reduced risk appetite rather than a confirmed protocol-specific problem.
Key levels to watch:
• $80: Critical support.
• $85–$90: Recovery zone.
• $75: Potential downside target if support breaks.
The upcoming U.S. CPI report on October 14 could influence the next market move.
The bigger picture: Liquidations can amplify short-term volatility without necessarily changing a project's fundamentals.
For $HYPE, stabilizing open interest and funding rates could help indicate whether the selling pressure is easing.
Can HYPE defend $80 and reclaim $90, or will another liquidation wave push it lower?
