Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has identified what he calls a “highly asymmetric opportunity” for Hedera (HBAR), suggesting the altcoin may be setting up for a major macro move. In his latest post, Egrag outlines a risk-to-reward ratio of roughly 1:40, meaning the potential upside far outweighs downside risk.
According to his analysis, the downside risk is estimated at –75%, but the upside potential could reach +30×, or roughly +2,900%. In simple terms, “you’re risking $1 to potentially make $40,” the analyst wrote, describing the trade as a “lottery-ticket-style macro setup” where limited risk meets exponential potential.

Egrag’s chart reveals a large inverse head-and-shoulders formation on the HBAR/USD monthly timeframe, a pattern typically associated with long-term bullish reversals. The neckline resistance sits near $0.25, while the projected target for a confirmed breakout extends to the $5 region, implying a multi-year surge.
“HBAR’s structure is one of the cleanest macro reversal setups in the market right now,” Egrag commented, emphasizing that such asymmetric setups are rare in the current crypto cycle.
While acknowledging the 75% drawdown risk, he argues that long-term traders could benefit if the pattern plays out as expected. With HBAR trading around $0.21, the asset’s next moves around the neckline could determine whether this bold 30× scenario materializes.
Egrag’s bold projection arrives just as institutional access to Hedera is set to expand.
On October 28, 2025, the Canary Capital Group HBAR ETF (ticker: HBR) will officially begin trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, becoming the first U.S.-listed fund designed to provide direct exposure to Hedera’s native token.
The ETF, benchmarked to the CoinDesk HBAR-USD Index, will be backed by custodians including Coinbase and BitGo, with U.S. Bancorp Fund Services serving as transfer agent.
For many investors, this represents a pivotal bridge between traditional markets and the Hedera ecosystem, a timing alignment that could amplify Egrag’s asymmetric setup if institutional inflows accelerate once HBAR becomes accessible through a regulated ETF.
