HBAR Price Prediction: Compression Breakout Imminent - $0.12 Target Within Reach

The Immediate Setup　　HBAR has entered a state of technical paralysis at $0.09, trading with microscopic volatility that typically precedes explosive moves. The current price action shows a 1.34% daily gain against virtually zero average true range, creating the kind of compression that forces algorithmic systems into binary outcomes. Beneath this apparent stagnation, buy-sell ratios favor accumulation at 1.14 to 1, indicating institutional positioning ahead of a potential catalyst.　　The momentum indicators paint a picture of indecision rather than weakness. RSI hovers at 48.63 in neutral territory while MACD flatlines at zero, suggesting neither bulls nor bears have established control. This technical standoff creates opportunity for traders who can read the underlying pressure building in the derivatives markets.　　Hourly candlesticks (about 96 bars), same endpoint as our cryptocurrency price pages. Numbers below refresh from 1-minute klines.　　Full HBAR price, calculator & analysis　　Critical Technical Convergence　　Every major moving average from the 7-day through the 50-day has converged at the $0.09 level, creating a technical nexus where any sustained move will trigger cascading algorithmic responses. The 200-day simple moving average at $0.12 represents the primary resistance target, while Bollinger Bands have contracted to their tightest range in months.　　The stochastic oscillator reading of 29.86 indicates oversold conditions developing,

Bitcoin Price Tops $81,000 For First Time Since January

Bitcoin　　Bitcoin Price Tops $81,000 For First Time Since January　　Bitcoin price broke above $81,000 during Asian trading hours and early U.S. hours today, its highest price since late January and the latest sign that the market has moved past a brutal first-quarter stretch that bottomed near $60,000.　　The move came on the back of several forces hitting at once: a flood of institutional money into ETFs, a shift in Middle East tensions, and a derivatives market that had been loading up for a run past $80,000 for weeks.　　The structural setup for this was built in April. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $2.44 billion in net inflows last month — the strongest monthly figure since October 2025, when Bitcoin price hit its $126,000 all-time high. BlackRocks IBIT alone captured $1.71 billion of that total, a 70% market share that keeps widening the gap between the fund and every other ETF in the space.　　Strategy, the Michael Saylor-led firm, also confirmed several massive Bitcoin purchases in April, bringing its total holdings to 818,334 BTC.　　The geopolitical backdrop did the rest of the work. Iran has allegedly been charging oil tankers $1 per barrel in Bitcoin to pass through the Strait of Hormuz since mid-March, a

USD: Safe-haven bid as conflict risk lingers – BNY

Finance　　USD: Safe-haven bid as conflict risk lingers – BNY　　BNYs Bob Savage describes a fragile risk backdrop, with investors tracking the Strait of Hormuz as a key barometer for energy supply relief. Despite ceasefire doubts after Iran–U.S. exchanges, risk assets are firmer, Oil is lower, Gold higher and the Dollar bid. Upcoming U.S. data, Fed speakers and political developments around Trump and Xi are seen as key drivers for policy expectations.　　Risk assets firm with USD supported　　“Tracking the ships going through the Strait of Hormuz continues to be the key risk barometer for investors as they watch for supply relief in energy. Ceasefire doubts rose yesterday after Iran and the U.S. exchanged fire and UAE suffered significant missile attacks, but that has not escalated today. The inherent volatility of the situation continues.”　　“Nevertheless, risk assets are higher, with stocks mostly up and oil lower, while USD is bid and gold is higher.”　　“The focus for the day will remain on the truce with Iran and the ongoing hopes that Project Freedom will deliver energy relief. On top of that, U.S. economic data will matter, with the JOLTS and trade numbers serving as important guideposts for policy.”　　“The Trump/Xi meetings next week are starting to matter

Coinbase latest crypto firm to slash staff citing market conditions and AI shift. Reduces it by 14%.

Coinbase is set to slashing its workforce by roughly 14%, or 660 employees in response to negative market conditions and AI challenges.　　CEO Brian Armstrong announced the cuts in an X post on Tuesday, citing the “two forces” that converged in his firms decision to slash staff.　　Coinbase has more than 4,700 employees, according to its website, so 14% would be equivalent to around 660.　　“While we‘ve managed through that cyclicality many times before and come out stronger on the other side, we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth,” said the CEO of the Nasdaq-listed company.　　The second reason is AI, and how it is changing the way Coinbase operates, he said. “Over the past year, I‘ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks,” Armstrong stated, adding that “the pace of what’s possible with a small, focused team has changed dramatically, and its accelerating every day.”　　The Coinbase CEO said that employees laid off in the U.S. will receive a minimum of 16 weeks base pay, plus 2 weeks of severance pay

EUR/USD: Upside seen limited in H2 – Rabobank

Finance　　EUR/USD: Upside seen limited in H2 – Rabobank　　Rabobanks Senior FX Strategist Jane Foley expects interest rate differentials to support an upward bias in EUR/USD in the second half of the year, but sees Euro gains capped by Eurozone growth headwinds from the current supply shock. Foley does not expect EUR/USD to reach 1.20 this year and anticipates any H2 rally will lack strong conviction.　　Euro gains capped by growth risks　　“While we do expect interest rate differentials to allow an upward bias in EUR/USD to emerge during H2, we anticipate that upside potential in the EUR will be capped by the hit to growth likely to be suffered by the Eurozone as a consequence of the current supply shock.”　　“Our central view remains that EUR/USD 1.20 will be beyond reach this year.”　　“However, we continue to view the USDs credentials as sound and the Eurozone more vulnerable to the current supply shock.”　　“Consequently, we do not expect the market to rebuild long EUR positions back to last years levels and expect any up move in EUR/USD in H2 to lack strong conviction.”

Stock Market: Dow, S&P 500 Drop as Oil Jumps on Iran Tension

Tech　　Stock Market: Dow, S&P 500 Drop as Oil Jumps on Iran Tension　　Stocks are pulling back sharply as of Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling over 550 points while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also trade lower, as rising oil prices and renewed Middle-East tensions weigh on sentiment.　　Oil Surge Drives Market Retreat　　Markets shifted lower after oil prices climbed rapidly. West Texas Intermediate crude rose about 3% to trade above $105 per barrel, while Brent crude jumped 5% to move past $114.　　The spike in energy prices quickly pressured equities. Higher oil prices tend to raise inflation concerns and increase operating costs for companies. As a result, investors moved away from risk assets and into safer positions.　　Missile Interception Sparks Fresh Concerns　　Tensions escalated after the United Arab Emirates reported that it intercepted missiles fired from Iran. This marked the first activation of the UAEs missile defense system since the ceasefire between the United States and Iran began last month.　　At the same time, conflicting reports added to the uncertainty. Iranian media claimed that missiles struck a US warship near the Gulf of Oman, while separate reports suggested Iranian forces turned back vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.　　US Central Command responded by denying those
