Expanded AI footprint as bankruptcy auction drives portfolio growth

Hut 8 acquired two Texas-based data center facilities for $140 million through a bankruptcy auction previously involving Poolin, a defunct cryptocurrency mining operator. This transaction expanded Hut 8’s AI-focused infrastructure portfolio and reportedly added an 8.7 GW development pipeline to its operations. The new facilities position Hut 8 to address elevated sector capacity demand, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, views Hut 8’s recent weakness as a concerning technical and sentiment shift. He notes that the acquisition of distressed Texas assets adds scale but does not offset persistent selling and volatility near session lows. Key technical signals like the downside gap and overbought warnings suggest risk of an extended pullback if $95.85 fails. Kharitonov warns that high volatility, neutral ADX, and price action under pressure reflect fragile buyer control. "Despite headline expansion, I remain cautious on HUT until buyers reclaim stronger momentum above $99.29."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights the strategic acquisition as a major advance in Hut 8’s infrastructure capabilities and future growth engine. He sees broad technical strength and robust demand for AI-focused capacity as reinforcing a resilient, bullish structure. The expert stresses that upgrades through bankruptcy auctions position Hut 8 to capture sector tailwinds. Karapetjanc expects medium-term gains as positive technical signals converge with a growing development pipeline. "Bullish structure remains intact — I see further upside ahead as the company builds scale and captures new demand surges."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, notes that Hut 8 remains technically constructive but short-term sentiment is clouded by recent selling. He sees immediate support and resistance between $95.85 and $99.29 as key for near-term trades. The analyst points out that volatility and buying signals indicate a possible swing setup, but warns of overbought risk. "Traders should watch for a breakout or breakdown from current levels to catch momentum-driven opportunities in the coming sessions."

Momentum mixed as overbought readings emerge amid bullish setup

Hut 8 remains above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages at $92.05, $93.42, and $78.81, respectively, confirming sustained strength across all major timeframes. The stock faces near-term resistance at $99.29, with immediate support at $95.85 and additional confirmation from the Ichimoku Kijun at $93.15, reinforcing a bullish technical structure. Momentum readings are broadly constructive: the MACD shows a buy signal, RSI and CCI indicate buying conditions, and the Awesome Oscillator is positive. However, the ADX and Stochastic RSI remain neutral, and overbought signals have emerged. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) at 8.6 highlights buyers’ intraday control, even as volatility reached 5.85%. Today’s close near session lows reflects notable selling pressure despite the prevailing bullish momentum setup.

Previously it was reported that Hut 8’s acquisition of two Texas data centers positioned the company for expanded operational capacity, even as its stock faced near-term volatility and mixed technical signals. The current analysis adds that with the transaction now finalized and all major moving averages intact, traders should monitor the $99.29 resistance for confirmation of renewed bullish momentum in the near term.
