The broader cryptocurrency market is under heavy pressure as aggressive selling wiped out more than $2.02 billion in leveraged positions within the last 24 hours. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) saw steep declines of over 10%, triggering panic among traders and dragging major altcoins sharply lower. Hyperliquid (HYPE) has not been spared either, recording a sharp 17% drop amid the market-wide flush.

Yet despite this painful correction, the chart reveals something particularly interesting. A powerful fractal structure is forming, one that could potentially set the stage for an unexpected rebound — similar to a move previously seen in XRP earlier this year.
HYPE Mirrors XRP’s April 2025 Structure
The left side of the chart displays XRP’s price movement from April 2025. The token suffered a brutal 45% correction before tapping a strong demand zone, sweeping liquidity beneath previous lows, and entering a prolonged accumulation phase. During this build-up, XRP repeatedly failed to break above its moving averages breakdown area marked, facing multiple rejections near a key resistance band, marked with a blue circle.
However, once XRP completed its accumulation and flipped structure, it triggered a powerful breakout, reclaiming moving averages breakdown resistance zone and fueling a massive +87% rally that carried price toward new local highs.

HYPE, on the right side of the chart, is now shaping almost the exact same pattern. It has already completed a similar –45% decline, wicked into a comparable demand region, seen a liquidity sweep, and faced rejection from the same cluster of moving averages in nearly identical fashion. The symmetry is striking, suggesting that history may be preparing to repeat itself.
Is a Bounce Coming?
One of the key levels to watch is the demand zone between $31 and $33, where HYPE is now attempting to stabilize. If the fractal continues to track the XRP setup from April, this zone could serve as the foundation for a sizable upside reversal. Reclaiming the moving averages breakdown resistance zone near $45.0 would be the first structural confirmation that buyers are re-entering aggressively.
A breakout above this could open the door for an extended relief rally, potentially mirroring the 87% rise that XRP delivered earlier this year after completing the same pattern.
However, if HYPE loses the support zone beneath the current wick structure and falls decisively below $30.75-$31, the fractal would be invalidated and a deeper correction could follow instead, possibly extending toward lower liquidity pools before finding new support.
The next several days will be crucial in determining whether this setup evolves into an opportunity or breaks down under continued market pressure.
