HBAR rose 24.38% as Hedera’s connection with NVIDIA’s AI ecosystem reinforced institutional interest and drove a sharp increase in market activity. Five Hedera Council members reportedly joined NVIDIA’s Open Agent Safety Platform alongside EQTY Lab, which uses Hedera’s platform to maintain AI audit trails and NVIDIA GPUs in its Verifiable Compute infrastructure. Spot-market participation jumped 1,088% to $1.33 billion. Derivatives (contracts linked to an asset’s price) volume surged 1,300.01% to $2.60 billion, while open interest (the value of outstanding contracts) increased 73.81% to $283.64 million. Binance top-trader accounts had a Long/Short ratio of 1.77, and the top-trader position ratio reached 2.2409, indicating stronger long exposure among larger traders. CoinGlass data showed roughly $2.32 million in net HBAR spot outflows during the 24-hour period, extending recent negative flows and limiting immediately available exchange supply. On a weekly chart, HBAR broke its descending channel and recorded a bullish change of character, or CHoCH (a break from a prior price structure). The token reclaimed $0.10 and approached resistance at $0.12835. The weekly DMI showed +DI at 36.71 and -DI at 10.67, while ADX stood at 21.96 and RSI reached 64.33, below the 70 overbought threshold. A decisive break above $0.12835 could open a path toward $0.20, while rejection could return focus to $0.10 as support.
