Recently, the Crypto Assets market has weakened overall, with Hedera (HBAR) prices under continuous pressure. Multiple Rebound attempts have failed to achieve effective breakthroughs, reflecting a clear cooling of market risk appetite. Against a backdrop of cautious funding, the downward pressure on HBAR has further intensified, and investor sentiment has shifted towards defense.
From the demand side, ETF data has become an important variable affecting market expectations. Previously, with the successful launch of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs, the market once expected that some mainstream altcoins, including Hedera, would also gain similar institutional allocation opportunities. Hedera, with its enterprise-grade application scenarios and relatively compliant network positioning, is seen as one of the potential beneficiaries.
However, the actual performance is clearly below expectations. Data shows that the HBAR ETF launched by Canary recorded zero capital inflow on December 22, less than two months after its listing. This result indicates that interest in allocating HBAR is quite limited, whether from crypto-native funds or traditional financial channels. The rapid cooling of ETF demand has led to the failure of institutional funding expectations, which were originally seen as important positive factors, and market sentiment has weakened accordingly.
Technical indicators also release bearish signals. The OBV (On-Balance Volume) indicator continues to decline, showing that the trading volume on down days is significantly higher than on up days, indicating that selling pressure is dominant. This “volume-price drop” structure often implies that the sell-off is not a short-term emotional fluctuation, but rather a more trend-oriented reduction in positions. Before new demand catalysts emerge, the rebound space for HBAR is significantly limited.
From the price structure, HBAR is currently trading at around $0.111, still constrained by the key resistance level of $0.120. The token has been declining for six consecutive weeks, and there has not yet been a clear reversal signal in the trend. If selling pressure continues to release, once the price breaks below the support level of $0.110, it may further drop to the range of $0.099–$0.10, thereby reinforcing the overall bearish pattern.
Of course, if the market environment stabilizes in phases, HBAR still has the possibility of consolidating sideways. As long as the price stays above 0.110 dollars, it cannot be ruled out that it will enter a phase of oscillation and digestion, thereby weakening the short-term downward momentum. However, before the inflow of ETF funds is lacking and trading volume has not seen significant improvement, Hedera's price trend still faces considerable uncertainty, and the vicinity of 0.10 dollars may become a key defense line that the market focuses on.

BTC edges up 0.46% in 15 minutes: institutional fund outflows and macro risk-off sentiment in sync drove the move
From 15:00 to 15:15 (UTC) on 2026-04-16, BTC logged a +0.46% return within 15 minutes. The price fluctuated in a range of 73,939.7 to 74,440.0 USDT, with an amplitude of 0.68%. During this time window, market attention increased, short-term volatility intensified, and fund-flow characteristics changed noticeably.
The main driver of this deviation is the continued outflow of large amounts of capital from exchanges. According to on-chain data, in the past 24 hours the net flow was -14,408.84 BTC, mainly concentrated in large transfer ranges of more than $1 million (especially>$10M net outflow -12,987.03 BTC). This shows that institutions and large holders actively reduced their BTC holdings on exchanges, and short-term selling pressure was significantly lowered. Against the backdrop of persistently weak liquidity, with order book depth remaining at a low level for a long time, the price has become more sensitive to medium-sized buy orders—amplifying the impact of even modest inflows on spot market price action.
In addition, macro conditions changed in parallel and produced a synchronized effect: easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East boosted overall market sentiment. International gold prices rose, global equity markets hit new highs, and the market re-evaluated the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting rates within the year, further increasing investor attention to safe-haven assets (including BTC). At the same time, on-chain data indicates that the “whale” trading activity during this phase is at an annual low (>$1M transfers fell to 1,485 transactions). With heavy market wait-and-see sentiment and limited short-term supply, BTC’s responsiveness to sudden buy-side capital was further enhanced.
Investors should be reminded that current market liquidity is still fragile. Insufficient order book depth increases the market’s sensitivity to large capital movements, and short-term volatility may intensify. Going forward, focus on further shifts in on-chain large-fund flows, changes in price action as it breaks through support or resistance regions, and the risks and opportunities brought by related macro policies and geopolitical developments. Please continue to track key data and stay alert to any sudden shocks during the period of abnormal moves.
