Korea's two biggest exchanges listed HYPE yesterday. I'm watching the tape ignore it — $71.56, down 3.7% today, 15.8% this week.
Camp one says the setup is stacked: both opened won pairs yesterday, Elysium went live November 9 with HYPE as gas, and the November 6 unlock delivered ~180,000 HYPE — not 9.92 million. Fees still ran ~$90M over 30 days, most of it routed to buybacks.
Camp two says the tape voted: HYPE gave back the ICE rally — $89 on October 29, $71.56 now, below the pre-news $76 close. It's under the 20- and 50-day averages ($80, $84), with ~$2.4B of open interest overhead (Coinalyze).
I'm with camp two: $76–$78 held as support twice — now it's the ceiling.
What keeps me from getting comfortable: $70.40 held today, the 200-day sits at $68.60 — if that band holds into the weekend, the bear case thins fast.
My lines: support $70.40, then $68.60. Resistance $76, then $80.
$70 or $76 — which print comes first?
NFA, DYOR.
