What’s Driving HBAR’s Rally?

The recent price surge comes as HBAR board member and former Binance US CEO Brian Brooks is named a potential candidate for SEC chairman. With Trump’s promise to fire Gary Gensler, the current SEC chairman, the hunt is on for the next leader. In that, the Hedera Board Member Brian Brooks is raising excitement among Hedera holders, resulting in a 25% surge in the HBAR price.

Additionally, Hedera’s collaboration with major companies like the Nairobi Securities Exchange and Kenya’s primary securities exchange is putting it in the spotlight. The Hedera technology is also contributing to the WISeSat space satellite launch, which will happen in January 2025. This groundbreaking mission will make the world’s first exchange directly from space in collaboration with SpaceX. This will secure satellite communication and blockchain integration.

Hedera Statistical Data

Based on CoinmarketCap data:

  • HBAR price now – $0.1418
  • Trading volume (24h) – $3.38 billion
  • Market cap – $5.35 billion
  • Total supply – 50 billion
  • Circulating supply – 37.69 billion
  • HBAR ranking – #26

HBAR Bulls Counter Consolidation Breaking Out Bullishly

After a prolonged period of consolidation, with the Hedera price oscillating between $0.04 and $0.05, the token has broken out in upward momentum. This consolidation phase acted as an accumulation period, as the price went into an explosive rally, reaching a high of 0.1566, representing a phenomenal one-day gain of 27.62%. This was not an anomaly surge since the movement marked a shift in the market, with HBAR slashing through crucial resistance points.

Meanwhile, the Golden Cross in the market reinforces the bullish outlook, as the short-term MA has crossed above the long-term MA—the $0.05 and $0.07 act as immediate support levels, steadying the upward momentum in the market.

Looking at the Relative Strength Index(RSI), it might be cooling off after shooting to the overbought region at $84.41 before retracing to 68.13. This slight correction in the market may allow the bulls to sweep through liquidity before a substantial rally. In the meantime, the odds still tilt toward the buyers, painting the Hedera market as bullish. 

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) calls for traders to rally behind Hedera. This is manifested by the northbound MACD, which pulls away from the orange signal line and delays the sell signal. 

How High Can Hedera Price Go?

The Hedera price boasts a bullish outlook as it gains a spotlight in the crypto market. If the bulls build momentum, capitalizing on the Golden Cross, the price could rally at this level, reaching the $1 mark soon. Conversely, the price could drop further if the correction in the Hedera market is bolstered. In such a case, the 0.08 support level will cushion against further downside.
