Despite the pullback, institutional investors continue to show confidence, highlighting a divergence between retail and professional market participants.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Retail traders reduce exposure<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent derivatives data points to weakening retail demand for HYPE. According to CoinGlass, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hyperliquid futures open interest (OI)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> declined by more than 2% over the past 24 hours to $2.80 billion, indicating that traders are either reducing leverage or closing positions altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the same period, the market recorded $7.09 million in liquidations, with approximately $6.29 million coming from long positions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dominance of long liquidations suggests that bullish traders have been forced to exit as prices moved lower, reinforcing short-term selling pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the decline in positioning, the funding rate remains positive at 0.0078%, indicating that some traders continue to maintain bullish expectations and are willing to pay a premium to hold long positions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While retail sentiment has weakened, institutional interest continues to provide support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data from <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CoinGlass <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shows that HYPE exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted $4.32 million in net inflows on Tuesday, following $8.43 million in inflows recorded on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The continued inflows suggest that larger investors remain optimistic about Hyperliquid\u2019s longer-term outlook despite ongoing short-term market volatility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This divergence between institutional accumulation and cautious retail positioning could become an important factor in determining the token\u2019s next major move.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Hyperliquid price outlook: Support near $64.75 comes into focus<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the time of writing, HYPE is trading around $68, maintaining its broader bullish structure despite recent weakness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The token remains comfortably above its 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $62.36, which continues to trend above the 200-day EMA at $48.40\u2014a positive sign for the longer-term trend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the recent rejection from a local resistance trendline near $72.75 has increased the likelihood of a deeper short-term correction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a technical standpoint, HYPE could continue sliding toward a rising support trendline around $64.75, an area reinforced by the nearby 50-day EMA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Momentum indicators continue to lean cautiously bullish but show signs of slowing. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains slightly above its signal line, indicating that positive momentum has not disappeared completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits around 54, reflecting moderate buying strength while gradually moving back toward neutral territory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless buying activity strengthens, the current pullback could continue before the broader uptrend resumes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first major support lies near the ascending trendline around $64.75, followed by the 50-day EMA at $62.36. A decisive break below these levels could expose HYPE to a deeper correction, potentially bringing the $60 level into focus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-source=\"CoinJournal\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-365529\" src=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/HYPEUSD_2026-07-08_09-10-06.png\" alt=\"HYPE\/USD 4H Chart\" width=\"1793\" height=\"836\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the upside, bulls must reclaim the $72.73 resistance zone, which aligns with the recent descending trendline. A successful breakout above this level could restore upward momentum and pave the way toward the R1 Pivot Point at $77.09, followed by the R2 Pivot Point at $89.14.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For now, the short-term outlook remains cautious, with weakening retail demand offset by continued institutional accumulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Analysis,HYPE#HYPE #drops #retail #demand #weakens #ETF #inflows1783506142<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key takeaways Hyperliquid (HYPE) has fallen below $70, extending its losing streak as broader crypto market sentiment turns risk-off.
