Tradersunion.com reports that Hedera (HBAR) rose 8.51% after becoming the third cryptocurrency to secure US spot ETF status via the Canary HBAR ETF launch. This development expands institutional access and follows the asset's inclusion in the Hashdex crypto ETF. Network governance now involves over 30 major organizations, with recent partnerships enabling tokenized stocks and real-world asset settlements.
HBAR trades above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating strong momentum across short, medium, and long-term timeframes. Key support sits at $0.0839, while resistance is located at $0.0932. Momentum indicators like MACD and ADX suggest strong upside potential, with the RSI at 63 reflecting fresh bullish sentiment.
The Commodity Channel Index identifies overbought conditions, while Bull/Bear Power confirms buyers' intraday control. Analysts highlight that the Canary HBAR ETF launch on the Nasdaq in October 2025 reinforces the importance of monitoring for a potential breakout above current resistance as institutional participation grows.
