HBAR has soared with momentum after the US Federal Reserve adopted
the Hedera Hashgraph-based Dropp micropayments platform. According
to the announcement, Dropp is now on the list of service providers
on Fed’s FedNow instant payment system. Following this news,
HBAR’s market sentiment improved, causing a rapid price surge that
propelled the token from $ 0.0561 to $0.06544. This represents
an over 16% increase in the last 24 hours. However, HBAR price has
crossed the overbought region, raising questions about how long the
current rally can last. FedNow Adds Hedera Hashgraph-Powered Dropp
To Its List Of Service Providers On July 20, the US Federal Reserve
launched the FedNow instant payment system. This payment system
allows banks and credit unions to transfer money for customers any
time, any day, instantly. However, according to the latest
development, FedNow adopted Dropp, a micropayment platform built on
Hedera as a service provider. Dropp allows users to use
micropayments for small-valued transactions in USD Coin (USDC),
HBAR, and US dollars. Related Reading: SHIB, PEPE, APE Gain Against
Bitcoin, Santiment Explains What This Means Adopting Dropp as a
FedNow service provider implies that banks and other financial
service providers can use the micropayment platform for real-time
payments. This feat marks a milestone for Hedera as FedNow
indirectly supports the token, granting the Hedera blockchain
support from traditional finance companies. Similarly, Hedera
is already benefiting from this partnership as its price has
increased by over 16% in the last 24 hours. Also, Hedera
garnered massive investor attention in the past week due to
increased partnerships, such as South Korean automobile companies
Kia and Hyundai, which have adopted Hedera’s infrastructure to
track vehicle carbon emissions. HBAR Price Outlook; How Long Can
The Bulls Hold? HBAR soared over 16% within a few hours after the
FedNow support announcement. That brought the token’s seven-day
price increase to nearly 17%. In addition, HBAR’s valuation is now
25% higher than its price 30 days ago. HBAR trades at $0.065, with
a day high of $0.06625 and a low of $0.05046. One remarkable thing
about HBAR’s performance is the massive surge in trading volume,
which signifies increased network activity and investor interest.
As of the time of writing, HBAR has recorded an over 1,219% surge
in 24-hour trading volume, after securing its position as the
highest-gaining cryptocurrency today. According to the daily
chart, HBAR trades above two key support levels at $0.063035 and
$0.06005. Moreover, the bulls have formed green bars above the
support levels as they vie to push HBAR to higher highs. The
Relative Strength Index is at 72. But while this signifies
increased buying pressure, the sideways movement of the RSI graph
suggests a weakening trend. So HBAR buyers have reached saturation
and are probably about to lose momentum. Related Reading: Shiba Inu

Additionally, the faded green histogram bars show the buying demand
for HBAR tokens has dwindled slightly. If this continues, the HBAR
rally could stall, allowing the bears to push prices downward.
