Hedera news

HBAR rose 1.31% to $0.1725 on Tuesday as volume jumped 38% above the 30-day average, mirroring broader crypto momentum and steady institutional inflows. The move comes without new fundamental drivers, suggesting renewed trader interest in the Hedera network token. Technical analysis shows HBAR forming higher lows, testing $0.1742 resistance with support at $0.1692 and a volume-weighted zone at $0.1601. The 38% volume spike indicates active position building ahead of a potential breakout toward $0.18, though a fall below $0.1692 would trigger a test of the critical $0.1601 cluster.

Hedera’s native token, HBAR, surged 26% over the past week, buoyed by the launch of Canary Capital’s spot ETF and a sharp rise in weighted sentiment. The rally has lifted market sentiment and added momentum to portfolios, but it may not be entirely organic. On‑chain indicators such as the Chaikin Money Flow show no corresponding capital inflows, signaling a potential overheating. If investors take profits without fresh inflows, HBAR could lose support at $0.200 and retreat toward $0.178; a sustained rise would need a new inflow wave to reach $0.217 and beyond.

Hedera’s native token, HBAR, slipped 3.25% to $0.1925 after the launch of its first U.S. spot ETF (ticker HBR), which saw $8 million in first‑day volume. The token’s initial 25% rally after the announcement quickly faded as profit‑taking set in. Technical analysis shows HBAR broke key support at $0.2040 and faced resistance near $0.207–$0.208, while 261 million tokens traded—87% above the 24‑hour average—indicating strong selling pressure and a bearish trend of successive lower highs. The move fits a broader pattern of controlled selling across digital assets, with large players likely locking in ETF‑driven gains. Analysts project further downside toward $0.190.

HBAR slipped 0.3% to $0.2010 as traders retreated near key resistance. Volume jumped 137% to 249 million tokens, pointing to institutional distribution around the $0.2055 level. Support at $0.1938 has held, but successive lower highs at $0.2044, $0.2032 and $0.2017 confirm bearish momentum. The price remains range-bound after the spot ETF launch on Nasdaq.

HBAR fell about 4.5% in the 24 hours after the launch of Canary Capital’s spot ETF, a typical sell‑the‑news move as traders took profits from an 18% rally. The dip may set the stage for a later rally. Technical charts confirm an inverse head‑and‑shoulders breakout, with a target near $0.219 and a support level at $0.161; the Chaikin Money Flow stayed positive, indicating new buyers are stepping in as prices pull back. Derivatives data show shorts dominate, with a liquidation point around $0.198 that could trigger a squeeze if HBAR exceeds $0.219. EMA crossovers and an RSI divergence suggest momentum returning, while support near $0.197 keeps the next upside targets of $0.205, $0.219 and $0.233 within reach.

HBAR surged 25.7% over 24 hours after the launch of Canary Capital’s spot ETF, breaking the $0.2060 resistance level and spiking volume 182% above the daily average. The move marked the first regulated institutional access via BitGo and Coinbase Custody, positioning HBAR alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum for tradable digital assets. The rally held until late‑session pullback, with HBAR falling to $0.205 as institutional holders took profits. The drop below the $0.206 support raises the risk of a retest of the $0.200 psychological level; technical analysis targets $0.2192 if support is regained, while downside risk heads to $0.200.

Bitcoin held near $114.5k as markets steadied after Monday’s gains, while Ethereum fell back to $4,120. Traders await the Fed’s rate decision, buoyed by optimism over a looming US‑China trade deal that lifted equities. The altcoin market stayed volatile. HBAR surged 17% on news that Canary Capital’s ETF will list on NYSE Arca, with volume up 344% to $871m. TRUMP memecoin gained 11% after the trade‑deal announcement. Other coins like Zcash and Dash retreated. BTC futures showed a gradual OI rise to $27.6bn, and funding rates turned largely positive, giving a mild bullish tilt. The options market displays a contango structure and a 64% put‑call volume bias toward calls, reinforcing a modest upside outlook.

Bitwise and Canary Capital announced that their Solana (SOL) and HBAR ETFs will officially trade tomorrow after SEC filings and NYSE approvals, ending months of confusion about the products’ launch. Despite the launch, neither SOL nor HBAR prices reacted positively; the markets have remained skeptical amid a federal shutdown, regulatory uncertainty, and the recent weak price performance of Solana itself. The ETF debut is expected to restore some momentum to the crypto industry, but investors will wait to see if the new products can lift underlying token values and attract institutional capital.

Four altcoin‑tracking ETFs—Canary’s Litecoin and Hedera funds, Bitwise’s Solana staking ETF, and Grayscale’s Solana conversion—will start trading on Nasdaq this week, expanding the U.S. spot crypto ETF lineup after Bitcoin and Ethereum approvals. Canary’s LTC and HBAR ETFs are effective now, Bitwise’s BSOL will debut Tuesday, and Grayscale’s Solana ETF will list Wednesday, following SEC’s certification of 8‑A filings that provide an alternative route to approval. The launch resolves months of speculation and comes amid a U.S. government shutdown that has delayed regulatory reviews, while investors have poured $921 million into crypto funds during recent rate‑cut optimism.

The NYSE and Nasdaq announced the listing of four new spot cryptocurrency ETFs—Bitwise Solana Fund, Canary Capital Litecoin and HBAR Fund, and Grayscale Solana Trust (launching Wednesday)—which will begin trading as soon as Tuesday. The move surprised markets, as the SEC had not been expected to decide amid the U.S. government shutdown. Issuers appear to have leveraged generic listing standards to go live without SEC approval. Spot ETFs give investors exposure to the underlying assets without holding them, the first to launch after the approval of spot bitcoin and ether ETFs; some funds also offer staking.
