Hyperliquid Tests $76 as Weekly Decline Meets Renewed Selling Pressure

HYPE is retesting the $76 area after a roughly 13% weekly fall, while a large Wintermute short and nearby support shape the immediate focus.

HYPE is retesting the $76 area after a roughly 13% weekly fall, while a large Wintermute short and nearby support shape the immediate focus. Hyperliquid (HYPE) is trading at $77.07, up 0.4% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by Crypto Daily, with live market data added, as of Sun, 08 Nov 2026 18:30:07 UTC.

Why it matters

The test matters because sustained trading below the 50-day average could leave HYPE exposed to further selling, while the reported Wintermute position adds visible pressure around the $74.45 support area.

Key takeaways
  • HYPE trades at $76.74, down 12.99% over seven days.
  • Crypto Daily highlights a large Wintermute short.
  • The reported support level is $74.45.
  • Hyperliquid TVL stands at $1.81B, down 4.7% over seven days.

Hyperliquid’s HYPE token is testing the $76 area after a steep weekly decline. Crypto Daily reported a roughly 12% weekly slide and said the token now trades below its 50-day moving average. Live market data put HYPE at $76.74, with a 1.04% loss over 24 hours and a 12.99% decline over seven days. Selling pressure is also linked to a large short position attributed to Wintermute, according to Crypto Daily. The outlet identified $74.45 as the nearby support level, making it the immediate reference point if bearish momentum persists. The live weekly figure is slightly larger than the roughly 12% decline cited in the report. On-chain context shows some contraction in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. DeFiLlama data places total value locked at $1.81 billion, down 4.7% over seven days. That move broadly follows the weakness in HYPE and provides a separate measure of activity and capital committed to the platform. The wider crypto market is comparatively stable, with total capitalization at $2.6 trillion and an overall flat trend. Bitcoin is down 0.12% over 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed index stands at 28, in Fear territory. For HYPE, the reported $74.45 support and whether price can recover its 50-day average are the key levels and conditions to monitor, rather than evidence of a confirmed direction.
