Hyperliquid&#8217;s HYPE token has surged 55% in a single week and delivered more 
than 130% in year-to-date returns — but prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez 
(@alicharts) is warning that the asset is now approaching a critical 
resistance zone with multiple technical indicators flashing sell signals 
simultaneously, a setup he says could trigger a retracement toward $40 if 
momentum fades at current levels. Related Reading: XRP Sees 4th-Largest Wallet 
Growth Spike Of 2026, Santiment Says In a post on X, Martinez laid out the 
technical case with precision. Three converging signals are appearing on HYPE 
at the same time: the TD Sequential Combo 13 sell signal is already active, a 
standard green 9 sell signal could confirm as early as the next session, and 
both the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Chande Momentum Oscillator are 
sitting at historically elevated — or overheated — levels, per the analyst&#8217;s 
analysis. HYPE&#8217;s price trends to the upside following a surge in institutional 
adoption, as seen on the daily chart. Source: HYPEUSD on Tradingview Why The 
Setup Concerns Martinez The significance of the current configuration lies in 
precedent. According to Martinez&#8217;s post, the last two occasions when TD 
Sequential sell signals appeared on HYPE while the RSI and Chande Momentum 
Oscillator were simultaneously at overheated levels, both instances led to 
significant corrections. The analyst is not pointing to isolated indicators — 
he is pointing to a specific combination of signals that has already proven 
consequential twice in HYPE&#8217;s relatively short price history. HYPE&#8217;s price

momentum, as seen on the TD Sequential Indicator. Source: Ali Martinez on X 
The analyst does leave room for one final push before any reversal 
materializes. HYPE could still push toward $59 or even slightly above $60 
before momentum fades, he notes — but frames that move as a potential 
exhaustion run rather than the beginning of a new leg higher. If rejection 
comes from the $59–$60 area, a retracement toward approximately $40 becomes 
increasingly likely, per his assessment. That would represent a pullback of 
roughly 33% from the upper resistance zone — meaningful, but consistent with 
the corrections that followed the previous two sell signal setups he 
references. ZCash Flashing A Similar Warning Martinez also flagged ZCash in 
the same post, noting a comparable technical structure after a 40%-plus weekly 
surge. ZCash is approaching the same resistance zone that triggered a major 
rejection in November — around the $700–$730 area — with the TD Sequential now 
flashing a sell signal on the weekly chart. Because the signal appears on the 
weekly timeframe, Martinez warns the potential correction could be 
substantially larger, with first downside support near $500 and a deeper 
retracement potentially reaching $380. The parallel between the two assets is 
notable given that BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes has publicly disclosed large 
positions in both HYPE and ZCash — with a $150 HYPE target and a $10,000 long- 
term ZCash target — making the current resistance zone a critical test of two 
of his highest-conviction calls simultaneously. Related Reading: New Bitcoin 
Lows? Analysts Say Chances Are ‘Extremely Slim’ As of this writing, HYPE 
trades at around $56, consolidating just below the critical $59–$60 resistance 
zone that Martinez has identified as the make-or-break level for the near-term 
price trajectory. Cover image from Perplexity, HYPEUSD Chart from Tradingview
