HBAR faces $4.9M short-liquidation risk near $0.1143

Hedera has posted a muted recovery in recent sessions, with HBAR price constrained by cautious sentiment across the broader cryptocurrency market. Uncertainty in Bitcoin and macro conditions continues to cap upside attempts. Derivatives positioning points to strong bearish sentiment in the futures market, with a notable number of short contracts opened and the liquidation map skewed toward bears.

Data shows about $4.9 million in short liquidations could be triggered if HBAR climbs above $0.1143, a move that can produce rapid upside volatility as short positions unwind and buying pressure increases. The Chaikin Money Flow indicator is rising but remains at the zero line, implying outflows and inflows are currently in balance; the gap will likely diminish as inflows rise, and declining outflows often precede a shift toward net inflows that could help a short-term recovery.
