HBAR Futures Volume Is Falling
One of the most notable signs of weakness is in HBAR’s futures market.
- Futures volume is now at $96.5 million
- It has stayed under $100 million for five days in a row
- This is a big change from March 1, when it peaked at $1.3 billion
Futures contracts allow traders to bet on price changes. High volume shows strong interest, usually from short-term traders or institutions. Falling volume signals that many traders are pulling back.
Here’s a quick look at HBAR futures volume trend:
Date Range |
Futures Volume |
March 1, 2025 |
$1.3 billion |
May 25, 2025 |
$96.5 million |
7-Day EMA |
Lowest in 3 months |
The drop in futures volume may point to reduced market excitement. Instead of short-term bets, more of the trading now comes from spot buyers—those who buy and hold. This could mean less volatility but also slower price moves, especially upward.
Weak Price Action Despite Bitcoin Rally
HBAR usually follows Bitcoin’s moves. In past rallies, it has even outperformed BTC. But this time, the pattern is different.
In the past 30 days:
- Bitcoin is up 14.3%
- HBAR is up only 0.75%
This gap shows that HBAR is not reacting the way it did before. It’s losing momentum even while the broader crypto market is heating up.
This could be due to a few reasons:
- Traders may be rotating to other altcoins
- Some may be waiting for a clear sign of strength
- Ongoing bearish signals in the chart could be keeping them away
But it also means that if Bitcoin makes new highs in June, HBAR could quickly catch up. In past cycles, it has shown strong upside once market sentiment shifts.
EMA Signals Are Still Bearish
EMA, or Exponential Moving Average, helps show trends. In HBAR’s case, the EMA setup is still negative:
- Short-term EMAs are below long-term EMAs
- This signals a bearish trend
- HBAR has been trading below $0.20 for six days
The price is now nearing a key support level at $0.18. If this breaks, it could push HBAR lower. But holding this level could build a base for a rebound.
Here’s a breakdown:
Price Level |
Status |
$0.20 |
Resistance since May 26 |
$0.18 |
Critical support |
$0.25 |
Next major target if bullish |
A strong bounce from the $0.18 level, combined with improved market sentiment, could open the door to recovery. A move above $0.20 would be the first sign of reversal. If that happens, bulls may aim for $0.25—last seen in early March.
Final Thoughts: Watch for These Signs in June
June could be a defining month for HBAR. Price is stuck in a narrow range. Futures volume is weak. And Bitcoin is racing ahead without it.
Still, Hedera has a history of strong moves once momentum shifts. For now, traders and investors should keep an eye on:
- Support at $0.18
- A potential move above $0.20
- Futures volume picking up again
- Correlation with Bitcoin’s next leg up
If these signs improve, HBAR could surprise with a late-month rally. But if not, the current downtrend may continue.
June is a wait-and-see moment for Hedera. Stay cautious, but also stay ready.
