HYPE Will SUrge to $41 If Momentum Strengthens

Furthermore, the crypto analyst Chiefrat highlighted that HYPE is entering a critical technical zone where price action is tightening, showing bullish divergence alongside a wedge formation. Momentum indicators suggest weakening downside pressure while consolidation continues. 

The $39.00 support level has become the key battleground, with market participants closely watching whether buyers can defend this area and maintain structural stability.

In case the $39.00 resistance holds firm, the $HYPE might find buyers near $41.30 and eventually climb to $48. 

On the flip side, if the price falls below the mentioned level, then the bullish pattern will be considered invalid, and the possibility of a further decline may be on the cards.

Technical Indicators Point to Improving Momentum

According to TradingView, HYPE is in a bearish correction phase, which is now stabilizing into a consolidation trend. Having declined from the level of $45.00, the coin established support near the level of $38.80. 

At the current level of $40.93, the coin is now oscillating around the short-term moving averages even as it battles the resistance from the 200 SMA level of $41.76.

The technical indicators suggest an emerging pulse of recovery, given that the RSI moves up to 56.05. The rise out of oversold levels indicates increasing buyers’ confidence in the short run. 

However, for a clear change of trend, a clear breakout above the resistance level of $41.76 will be needed. Until then, the price action is expected to range between $39.00 and $42.00.
