Institutional inflows rise as spot HBAR ETF fuels adoption

Canary Capital has launched the first U.S.-listed ETF (Nasdaq: HBR) focused on spot HBAR, granting institutional investors direct access to the Hedera network's native token. The fund has rapidly grown to more than $65 million in assets under management, contributing to Canary Capital’s total digital asset suite now exceeding $400 million. HBAR’s market position also benefits from strong enterprise adoption supported by its governing council.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that HBAR continues to underperform, trading decisively below all its major moving averages. He highlights persistent weakness in technical signals, such as subdued RSI, negative MACD, and mounting Bear Power, which collectively indicate strong seller control at present. The pronounced gap down and inability to recover intraday lows signal a lack of buying interest. Kharitonov sees no encouraging trends in momentum or support levels, making downside risk dominant for the foreseeable future. "Without recovery above key resistance levels, the technical picture remains overwhelmingly negative for HBAR in the short term," he states.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes HBAR’s recent price drop contrasts with strong fundamental tailwinds from institutional adoption. He points to Canary Capital’s ETF launch and rapid asset growth as evidence of building momentum and long-term interest. Karapetjanc emphasizes that enterprise backing and governing council strength continue to support the project’s value proposition. He maintains confidence in further upside potential as broader market sentiment improves and institutional flows deepen. "With infrastructure and investor appetite growing, the bullish structure for HBAR remains intact in the medium term," Karapetjanc says.

Sustained downside bias as momentum falters and resistance holds

Immediate dynamic resistance for HBAR is near the Ichimoku Kijun at $0.1606, while there are no significant support levels until much lower prices are reached. Momentum metrics remain weak, with both MACD and ADX signaling continued selling pressure. Daily RSI stands at 40.4 and weekly at 38.6, and the Stoch RSI and CCI reflect mostly neutral to oversold conditions. The Bear Power indicator reinforces short-term seller control, with momentum and oscillator signals aligning for persistent downside bias.

Previously it was reported that HBAR was trading below all key moving averages and facing persistent seller pressure, with short, medium, and long-term momentum indicators confirming a clear bearish bias. Resistance was identified above current levels and volatility surged intraday, suggesting further downside risks as consolidation was expected within a narrow band — persistent seller pressure, with short to medium-term momentum aligned in favor of bears.
