Hyperliquid Price Forecast: Momentum indicators flash early bearish signs

Hyperliquid price is breaking below the rising trendline (drawn by connecting multiple highs since the end of January), trading at $41.25 on Tuesday after correcting 2.35% the previous day.

If HYPE closes below this trendline support, roughly around $42.17 on a daily basis, it could extend the correction toward the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $40.30. A close below this level could extend losses toward the 100-day and 200-day EMA at $37.87 and $36.05, respectively.

Momentum indicators are also flashing early signs of weakness. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 48, slipping below the neutral level, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicators on the same chart showed a bearish crossover on Monday, projecting a negative outlook.

If Hyperliquid recovers, it could extend the advance toward the April 16 high of $45.76.
