Institutional selling tsunami crashes HBAR through key technical levels

The Great Unloading

Wall Street's favorite pastime—dumping digital assets when retail least expects it—has hammered Hedera's native token below crucial support. The same institutions that once championed 'blockchain innovation' now race for exits faster than traders spotting a Fed announcement.

Technical Breakdown

That vaunted support level? Shattered. The institutional exodus triggered cascading sell orders, creating the crypto equivalent of a bank run without the velvet ropes. Market structure now resembles Swiss cheese—full of holes and smelling faintly of desperation.

Finance's Ironic Twist

Remember when institutions promised 'long-term conviction'? Turns out their conviction lasts about as long as a meme stock rally. The smart money proves once again it's mainly smart at timing their own exits while leaving retail holding the bag.
