Hedera (HBAR) price maintains its upward trend thanks to ETF capital inflows strengthening market sentiment

Hedera (HBAR) is currently fluctuating around the 0.127 USD level during Wednesday’s trading session, approaching a key resistance zone. If the price convincingly breaks through this level, the market could witness a new upward momentum in the near future. Notably, demand from institutional investors continues to increase, as spot HBAR ETF funds have recorded three consecutive days of net inflows this week. Simultaneously, positive signals from on-chain data and derivatives markets further reinforce the expectation that HBAR is on the verge of extending its bullish trend.

Hedera (HBAR) is currently moving within a descending wedge pattern formed since late July, with highs and lows gradually narrowing. Notably, HBAR surged over 6% during Tuesday’s trading session, indicating renewed buying interest. As of Wednesday, the price is approaching the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) around the 0.127 USD mark — an important technical level.

In a positive scenario, if HBAR can close firmly above the 50-day EMA, the recovery momentum is likely to continue, pushing the price toward the upper trendline of the wedge pattern, around 0.152 USD.

Daily HBAR/USDT chart | Source: TradingView Technical indicators also support a bullish outlook. The daily RSI stands at 56, rising above the neutral 50 level, indicating increasing buying momentum. Meanwhile, the MACD continues to show a bullish crossover, further strengthening the optimistic scenario.

However, the risk of a correction should not be overlooked. If selling pressure increases, HBAR could reverse and decline toward the weekly support zone around 0.090 USD, where demand is expected to re-emerge.
