Brooks, a former CEO of Binance US and previously nominated by President Donald Trump for Comptroller of the Currency, is considered a top candidate for this influential role. If appointed, Brooks’ familiarity with blockchain and cryptocurrencies could create a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment, boosting investor confidence in assets like HBAR. 
In parallel, Canary Capital <a href="https://x.com/virage007/status/1858330263136456992" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">filed</a> with the SEC to list a Hedera-focused exchange-traded fund (ETF), proposing broader accessibility to U.S. investors. This ETF filing, combined with the possibility of a crypto-savvy SEC chair, further strengthens the bullish sentiment around Hedera.

Key resistance levels for HBAR are at $0.1331 and $0.1372. If these levels are breached, the next target is $0.1562, with no significant resistance beyond that. To maintain its upward trajectory, these resistance levels must transform into support. 
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for HBAR stands at 89.20, indicating overbought conditions as it crosses the typical overbought threshold of 70. This suggests strong buying momentum, but a potential cooldown or correction could follow if the RSI remains elevated for too long. 
The RSI average, calculated over a 14-day period, is currently 65.98. This value shows a steady upward trend in momentum, reflecting a gradual increase in buying interest over time.
