Hyperliquid (HYPE) surged to $47 before sharply falling to $41, down 10.4% amid strong bearish pressure. A whale investor took a large 180,000 HYPE long position with 10x leverage worth $7.78 million, signaling optimism for a rebound. However, increased liquidations and sell-side pressure in futures markets have pushed the price close to the critical $40 support level, with risks of further decline to $38 if downward momentum continues. Traders are watching to see if the $40 support holds or if HYPE will recover to $44 after this correction.
