“HYPE is in a critical phase, and we could see further drops if support around $25–$20 fails to hold,” noted Altcoin Sherpa, a well-known market analyst.

Analysts are closely monitoring the $26 mark, which coincides with the 50% Fibonacci level. If buyers can hold this level, the price could potentially rebound toward $30 or even $35.
However, if this support level fails, the next strong support is expected in the low $20s. The market will need to see significant buying pressure to reverse the current trend. Without that, the price could continue its decline, reaching levels lower than $25.
