Institutional flows rise as new CME futures and ETF access emerge

The recent launch of HBAR futures on CME and the opening of spot ETF access by Vanguard have highlighted expanding institutional activity around the network. Hedera’s cumulative spot Canary HBAR ETF inflows reached $83 million, while enterprise partnerships continue with government adoption such as Wyoming’s state-issued stablecoin and a blockchain land registry deal in Georgia. Further network advancements include ongoing mainnet upgrades, new wallet integrations, and expanded AI kit offerings.

Bearish momentum extends as oscillators confirm steady weekly selling

On the weekly chart, HBAR remains below its MA-20 and MA-50, confirming downside pressure for both short- and medium-term trends. The MACD holds in sell mode and ADX at 22.98 supports the prevailing bearish momentum. The asset’s RSI sits at 36.7, indicating a lack of strong overselling, while Stoch RSI and CCI are both neutral to mildly negative. Weekly momentum and oscillator indicators, including the Awesome Oscillator and BBP, continue to signal steady selling, with the price closing near its weekly low of $0.1178 within a range capped at $0.1350.

Sideways trade likely as weak momentum heightens risk of further drop

For the week ahead, HBAR is likely to trade sideways within a $0.1130 – $0.1240 range, reflecting ongoing selling pressure and moderate volatility. Given the alignment of negative momentum signals and weak recovery from major indicators, a further decline below $0.1130 remains possible. A rebound above $0.1240 appears unlikely unless a major change in sentiment or technical structure occurs.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, senior analyst at Traders Union, highlights that despite HBAR facing a 4.95% weekly decline and continued technical pressure, fundamental and sentiment drivers remain active. He sees growing institutional involvement, including HBAR futures on CME and rising ETF inflows, as setting the stage for future demand and network adoption. Although momentum indicators remain bearish, the asset’s resilience above MA-200 and ongoing upgrades reinforce long-term confidence. Karapetjanc believes the market’s consolidation within the $0.1130–$0.1240 zone offers patient investors an opportunity to accumulate ahead of a possible shift in sentiment. "I maintain a constructive outlook — institutional progress and robust partnerships are likely to underpin HBAR’s next cycle of growth once current selling wanes."

Previously it was noted that Hedera was trading above its short- and medium-term moving averages and key support levels, indicating bullish short-term momentum. Despite mixed technicals, including a neutral Awesome Oscillator and overbought readings on the RSI and Stoch RSI, near-term price action is likely to see sideways consolidation with downside risk as buyers face exhaustion around resistance.
