HBAR Shorts: $4.5M on the Line – Will They Cry or Fly?

by

Oh, Hedera, you’re like that friend who says, “I’m fine,” but we all know they’re one bad meme away from a breakdown. After a dip that felt more dramatic than a soap opera plot twist, HBAR’s been stuck in a range so tight, it’s giving me claustrophobia. Attempted a recovery? Sure. Succeeded? Not so much. Thanks, holders, for the emotional rollercoaster.

But hey, futures traders, this is your moment to shine-or crash and burn. Because if key levels break, it’s gonna be a wild ride. Buckle up, buttercup.

Hedera Traders: Gambling or Just Bad at Tinder?

So, the derivatives data says short HBAR traders are basically walking on a tightrope over a pit of sharks. The liquidation map? Oh, it’s a party at $0.114, with $4.5 million in shorts ready to get wiped out. That’s a lot of avocado toasts they won’t be buying.

And let’s talk about this short-heavy positioning. It’s like everyone showed up to a party dressed as a bear. Cute, but also… why? This much negativity in one place? It’s begging for a volatility spike. If the price breaks resistance, it’s not just shorts that’ll get liquidated-it’s their dignity.

Now, let’s talk macro indicators, because nothing says “fun” like Chaikin Money Flow. It’s been trending lower for two weeks, which is basically the crypto equivalent of a breakup playlist. CMF says capital’s leaving HBAR faster than people leave a party when the host runs out of wine.

Below the zero line? Net outflows. Investors are ghosting HBAR like it’s a bad Tinder date. Unless sentiment does a 180, this price recovery is about as likely as me winning a marathon. Spoiler: I’m not even signed up.

HBAR’s Critical Support: Will It Hold or Fold Like a Cheap Tent?

At $0.108, HBAR’s hanging out at the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level. It’s like that awkward party guest who doesn’t know if they should stay or leave. If it holds, maybe-just maybe-the bears will take a nap. But if outflows keep up, it’s slipping back to $0.102 faster than I slip into sarcasm.

Bullish scenario? Reclaim that 23.6% Fib level and flip it into support. Then, maybe, just maybe, we’re looking at $0.112. Clear $0.115, and those shorts are toast. But let’s be real-crypto’s more unpredictable than my mood on a Monday.
