Many have taken to X to speculate on the ongoing correction. Some traders outline the serious nature of the move and predict prices as lo as low-mid 20s.
Commenting on the matter was also Altcoin Sherpa, who said:
HYPE is pulling back a bit, I think that this thing goes to low $30s if BTC continues to bleed and chop around. Still, its 1 of the best coins this cycle and I think itll eventually go much higher. Ill still keep a bunch of it staked for now.
Byzantine General also chipped in on the matter, outlining the importance of the long-term trendline that started forming in April. Hes of the opinion that breaking below this trendline wont be a good sign, especially as open interest is building up.
Pretty important level for $HYPE with a serious OI build up.

Data from HyperDash shows that the majority of the traders (51%, at the time of this writing) are short, with 31% of the open interest covered.
Its also worth noting that the Hyperliquid Assistance Fund bought back another $2 million worth of HYPE today, as reported by Tobias Reisner. This is because 97% of the fees generated by traders on the platform go back toward buying back the token.
