Two candles tell yesterday's $HYPE story — and I'm watching the second one.

At 19:00 the tape dipped to $79.60 and closed at $79.86. Four hours later it closed back at $81.62. The recovery candle traded heavier volume than the dip candle. The four closes before the dip — $81.33, $81.54, $81.18, $81.50 — show how tight the day was, and the afternoon high at $82.50 is still untouched. One dip, bought the same evening: I read that as defense, not a breakout.

What holds me back from calling it strength: that dip proves sellers are still active under $80, and one bought dip does not make a trend — it makes a level worth retesting. A 4-hour close under $79.60 breaks this read; a close above $82.50 turns defense into a climb.

I'm keeping $79.60 on my screen as the line that has to hold twice. What level are you watching on $HYPE?
