DeFi liquidity expands as Hedera integrates wrapped Bitcoin services

Hedera has launched Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) on its network, representing a significant step to improve DeFi liquidity and provide institutional-grade Bitcoin connectivity within its ecosystem. This integration includes cross-chain services via Stargate Finance and new SaucerSwap Labs pools, enabling more secure and flexible use of Bitcoin on the Hedera platform. The network has also begun public beta testing and continues to offer high-throughput ledger services, smart contract support, and file storage with predictable low fees.

Mixed intraday signals as momentum remains weak and volatility rises

Momentum on the daily chart remains weak, with both MACD and ADX signaling a prevailing bearish trend. RSI (42.9) and CCI (-65.4) do not show strong overbought or oversold conditions, while the Stoch RSI is neutral, reflecting mixed short-term sentiment. The BBP is slightly positive, suggesting mild buyer dominance during intraday action. The Awesome Oscillator currently provides a neutral signal, not reinforcing a trend. HBAR is up 9.65% on the day with no gap between the previous close and today’s open, and the current price sits near the middle of today’s range, indicating high volatility and an initial surge that has faded into sideways consolidation. Momentum and oscillators are delivering conflicting signals, so recent intraday strength is not yet fully supported by broader momentum indicators.

Low upside odds as indicators favor continued sideways or lower range

For the next five trading days, the expected price range for HBAR is $0.135 to $0.165, normalized for current volatility and anchored around the present price. The probability of a price increase remains very low (less than 20%), while the likelihood of a decline is more elevated based on the majority of weekly indicators signaling "Sell." The baseline scenario is for price action to remain in a broad sideways corridor within $0.135–$0.165. The bullish scenario would see an upside breakout above $0.1667 if momentum turns in favor of buyers. If bearish dynamics resume and the price loses support near $0.135, further declines may unfold.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees recent integration of Wrapped Bitcoin on Hedera as a strong catalyst for institutional adoption and DeFi growth. He believes that despite technical weakness and prevailing bearish signals, positive news flow and active network development may support price stabilization. The analyst notes sideways consolidation and ongoing high volatility but remains optimistic on the medium-term outlook. "While short-term momentum looks unclear, I see growing potential for HBAR to benefit from enhanced DeFi utility and institutional interest—any decisive move above $0.1667 could spark a fresh demand wave."

Previously it was noted that momentum indicators on the daily timeframe remain bearish and signal a continuation of downside pressure. The article highlighted that the likelihood of further decline is very high, with HBAR expected to consolidate within the $0.1220–$0.1420 corridor.
