⬤ HYPE's direction changed completely after the market digested fresh inflation data. Pointed out that the token punched through a downward trendline right when Bitcoin caught a bid from dovish CPI figures, marking a clean flip from bearish to bullish in the near term.
⬤ Looking at the 4-hour chart, HYPE had been grinding lower with lower highs stacking up for weeks. Then it broke above that falling resistance and pushed into a fair value gap around $31. That move killed the downtrend pattern and showed momentum was finally rotating up as the broader crypto market caught strength.
⬤ The token's now holding above what used to be resistance. In technical terms, that's textbook behavior—"the next logical step is a retest of the broken line, then continuation higher," according to chart watchers. The current consolidation is basically the market deciding whether buyers will actually defend this level. It's similar to what happened during HYPE's earlier consolidation near $30 when traders were watching for support confirmation.
⬤ These macro-driven reversals usually don't stay neutral for long. HYPE's sitting at a decision point right now. If it keeps trading above the reclaimed zone, the bullish setup stays intact and opens room for more upside. But if it slips back below, the reversal gets invalidated and the previous downtrend likely resumes.
