Ask HN: I pitched wrong salary expectations? How to renegotiate?

I am in the middle of a job application process. I have passed the technical assignment and now I have a technical interview with the CTO of the company. I am positive that I will get this position.

The problem is during my first interview with the talent acquisition specialist, I told her my salary expectation was $30/Hours. But today I looked at the job posting on stackoverflow and the salary range on the posting was $100k - 150k which makes it roughly $52/h - $78/h given you put 160 productive hours monthly.

I feel like I pitched too low, I want to have my compensation between 52-78 bracket but not sure how to deal with this now. I don't want to sound unprofessional but want to renegotiate my original pitch. Can someone guide me on how to tackle this professionally?

P.S The company is US-based with a development team spread all across the globe. I am front South Asia and even $30/h is a very big deal.
