HBAR crypto price prediction as Hedera stablecoin market cap surges
Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) price dropped for four consecutive days, reaching its lowest level since April 22. It has dropped by 15% from its highest point last week.
HBAR dropped as most cryptocurrencies pulled back, with their market cap dropping from over $3 trillion last week to $2.9 trillion today. Top American indices like the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 dropped by over 0.50%.
This price action reflects caution from market participants ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. Economists widely expect the central bank to hold rates steady at 4.50% as it waits for further inflation data. Any signal of a future rate cut would likely act as a bullish catalyst for HBAR and the broader crypto market.
There are signs that activity in the Hedera Hashgraph chain is rising. DeFi Llama data shows that the stablecoin market cap in the chain has jumped to a record high of $130 million, a big increase from the year-to-date low of $37 million. Circle's USD Coin (USDC) has a 99.8% market share in Hedera's chain. This increase is a sign of robust in the network.

Another potential catalyst for HBAR is the SEC's upcoming tokenization roundtable on May 12, which will feature representatives from major firms such as Franklin Templeton, BlackRock, and Invesco. The meeting will focus on regulating tokenized assets.
Hedera has emerged as one of the top chains in the real-world asset tokenization industry. For example, it partnered with Tokeny Solutions last week. Tokeny provides an onchain operating system for compliant asset tokenization.

On the daily chart, HBAR rebounded on April 9, breaking above the upper side of a falling wedge pattern. It then rose to a high of $0.2020, which aligns with the 100-day Exponential Moving Average.
The bars of the Awesome Oscillator have pointed downwards and are about to cross the zero line. Also, the Relative Strength Index has formed a double-top pattern at 61.6, a sign that it is about to drop further.
Additionally, the MACD lines have made a bearish crossover. Taken together, these signals suggest that HBAR may continue to decline, with sellers targeting the year-to-date low of $0.1250. If reached, this level would form a double-bottom pattern, a potential reversal setup.

Raytheon Launches MTS-A HD With RTX (RTX) Enhancing Naval Helicopter Operations
Raytheon, as part of RTX, recently launched the MTS-A HD, enhancing capabilities for naval helicopter operations, which aligns with the company's innovative streak. Over the last quarter, RTX's 24% share price increase coincided with key developments including strong earnings where Q2 revenue rose to $21.6 billion and net income surged significantly from the previous year. Additionally, the company signaled growth initiatives with a dividend increase and a new product launch, which align with broader market bullish trends, where the S&P 500 reached record highs amid robust corporate earnings and economic optimism. While the market rose by 1.5% over the last week, these events reinforced RTX's upward trajectory. We've identified 3 possible red flags with RTX (at least 1 which is a bit unpleasant) and understanding the impact should be part of your investment process. We've found 16 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Raytheon's recent launch of the MTS-A HD may bolster RTX's narrative centered on technological advancements and portfolio optimization. This aligns with their strategic focus on technology investments, promising enhanced margins and resilience. Over a five-year period, RTX's total shareholder return was 206.30%, highlighting its substantial growth. In the past year, RTX matched the 37.1% return of the US Aerospace & Defense industry, emphasizing its consistency in performance. The recent news could positively influence RTX's revenue and earnings, reinforcing the optimistic forecasts of a 4.7% annual revenue growth and a rise in profit margins. With a current share price of US$156.07 and a price target of US$162.00, the slight discount to the price target suggests that the market may perceive further growth potential. However, as analysts have diverse views, with some bearish on RTX's near-term prospects, it is important for investors to independently assess whether these developments might translate into sustained earning elevations. According our valuation report, there's an indication that RTX's share price might be on the expensive side. This article by Simply Wall St is general in nature.

Warren Buffett's stock still struggling since May peak
There's a reason why shares of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) and (BRK.B) have fallen more than 12% since early May. Some of its businesses aren't performing as well as in prior years. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The company saw operating profit drop to $11.16 billion, a 3.8% decline from a year earlier, in part because of declines in underwriting earnings in its insurance operations, according to its second-quarter earnings report released Saturday. Plus, it wrote down the value of its investment in Kraft Heinz (KHC) , the food giant Berkshire helped put together. Kraft Heinz shares have lost two third of their value since 2017. The pre-tax write-down came to about $5 billion. It still owns 27.4% of the company. Until this spring, Berkshire controlled two of the 12 seats on the Kraft Heinz board. It has given up both seats. The write-down was a rare disappointment for Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway, although analysts believe it was long overdue. Related: Stock Market Today: Was That the Market Top? Berkshire's Class A shares closed Friday at $711,480, down $8,370 on the day. The Class B shares ended at $472.84, up 96 cents. Berkshire shares hit intraday peaks of $812,855 and $542.07, respectively, on May 2, the day before the company's annual meeting when Buffett said he would retire as CEO on Dec. 31. The closes for the stock classes translated into year-to-date-gains of 18.5%. The shares then fell through May, June and July. One reason for the declines was the uncertainty created by the announcement. Buffett was a known quantity for Wall Street. Greg Abel, who will succeed the Oracle of Omaha as CEO, is less known. Perhaps as important, the big technology rebound that started in April probably drew money away from less glamorous opportunities. Like Palantir (PLTR) , Facebook parent Meta Platforms (META) , Microsoft (MSFT) and, of course, Nvidia (NVDA) . Here is how the Berkshire B shares have behaved compared with the S&P 500 over the six months. Despite the shares' fallback since May, Berkshire's A shares are up 4.5% in 2025, with the B shares up 4.3%. The S&P 500 is up 6.1% on the year and up 29% from its April low. (We should note Berkshire rose on Friday as some investors saw it as a safe haven.) And the company has real strength. Berkshire ended the second quarter with $344.1 billion in cash and equivalents, about 37% of total assets. The cash position includes nearly $250 billion in short-term Treasury securities.

He has been CEO since 1970.

Much of its profits come from its insurance businesses. It owns Geico, Allegany and no fewer than 16 other insurance companies. It also owns the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, a host of electric utilities, Fruit of the Loom, Dairy Queen, Duracell, boot-maker Justin Brands and the Pilot chain of truck stops. Most of its companies run semi-autonomously and have been reliably successful and made Buffett and Berkshire shareholders wealthy. The railroad business is based in the western United States and will face new competitive pressures when - and if - rival Union Pacific Corp. (UNP) merges with Norfolk Southern Corp. (NSC) . The two sides agreed this past week to merge in a deal valued at about $85 billion. Assuming it closes, the result would be the first coast-to-coast railroad operator in the United States. Many analysts believe BNSF will need to find a merger partner of its own to compete. There, however, just five big railroads. Berkshire still is still a large investor in a host of companies with a fair value of $268 billion. The largest holdings are: American Express (AXP) .Apple (AAPL) .Bank of America (BAC) .Coca-Cola (KO) . Chevron Corp. (CVX) .
