Grayscale’s HBAR ETF Filing in Delaware Sparks Rally Hopes – Time to Buy?

Wall Street's crypto cavalry charges again—Grayscale just dropped an HBAR ETF filing in Delaware. Cue the speculative frenzy.

Hedera's native token (HBAR) wobbled on the news, but traders are already betting this marks the bottom. 'Institutional validation' screams louder than SEC paperwork fears.

Price action tell: HBAR pumped 8% post-announcement before settling at +3%. Classic 'buy the rumor' behavior—though Grayscale's Bitcoin ETF track record suggests patience pays.

Funny how these filings always drop when retail liquidity's thin. Almost like someone wants to maximize price impact... or is that just cynical?

Either way—strap in. The ETF circus is coming to altcoin town.

HBAR Traders Have Hopes

Traders have reacted positively to the report of Grayscale filing for an HBAR ETF, signaling Optimism for the altcoin’s future. This excitement has been reflected in the market’s funding rate, which spiked sharply in the last 24 hours. 

The funding rate reached a three-week high, indicating a surge in long contracts as traders are increasingly confident about a price rise. This sharp spike shows that HBAR traders are optimistic and also eager to capitalize on what they view as a bullish opportunity.

Looking at the technical indicators, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) for HBAR is showing promising signs. The MACD is nearing a potential bullish crossover, which could signal a shift in momentum from bearish to bullish. 

The histogram reflects a fading bearish trend, indicating that downward pressure is decreasing. A successful bullish crossover WOULD confirm this shift and likely encourage further buying interest.

HBAR Price Faces Resistance

HBAR is currently changing hands at $0.26, just under the $0.27 resistance level. For HBAR to recover its losses from July, it will need to break above $0.27 and MOVE towards $0.29.

The news surrounding the Grayscale ETF filing could help sustain this momentum, as it encourages further investment and pushes the price higher. As a result, HBAR’s price could potentially make its way to $0.30 and higher,

However, if investor sentiment changes or a shift in the broader market occurs, HBAR may face a pullback. If the altcoin fails to hold above $0.27, it could fall to $0.24 or even lower. Such a decline would invalidate the bullish outlook, signaling a further period of consolidation or decline.
