Why $4.9 Million Liquidations Could Soon Hit HBAR Traders Hard
Hedera has posted a muted recovery in recent sessions. HBAR price remains constrained by cautious sentiment across the broader cryptocurrency market. Uncertainty in Bitcoin and macro conditions continues to cap upside attempts.
However, bearish traders may need to monitor changing signals. Derivatives positioning and capital flow indicators suggest the current balance could shift.
Hedera Traders Could Be In Trouble
HBAR is currently experiencing strong bearish positioning in the futures market. Traders have opened a notable number of short contracts, reflecting expectations of further downside. The liquidation map highlights that positions are skewed toward bears at current levels.
Data shows that HBAR bears could face approximately $4.9 million in liquidations if the price crosses the $0.1143 mark. Such forced liquidations can trigger rapid upside volatility. When short positions unwind, buying pressure increases as traders close contracts.

The Chaikin Money Flow indicator offers additional insight into capital movement. CMF measures inflows and outflows to assess whether buyers or sellers dominate. The indicator is currently rising, although it remains at the zero line.
An upward slope at zero suggests that outflows are at par with the inflows. However, the gap will likely diminish as inflows rise. Declining outflows often precede a shift toward net inflows. If this transition occurs, HBAR could gain the support needed for a short-term recovery.
