Dynamic Moves: HBAR Encounters Volatility in the Midst of a Strong Market
Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) has become a focal point of attention in the cryptocurrency landscape, displaying notable price swings influenced by both spot market purchases and perpetual (perp) futures market sales. In an insightful analysis conducted by CrediBULL Crypto, a closer look at these trends reveals a nuanced picture of HBAR's recent market dynamics.
The chart tells a compelling story of a surge in HBAR's price, driven by a substantial $10 million spot market purchase, resulting in an impressive 43% price increase. This surge not only reflects a bullish sentiment among investors but also underscores the market's appetite for HBAR. The substantial impact of this spot market demand is evident in the sharp upward trajectory observed in the chart.
However, the perpetual (perp) futures market introduces a contrasting narrative. The market witnessed $12 million in sales, leading to a 14% decrease in price. This introduces a counterbalance of selling pressure in the futures market, adding layers of complexity to the overall market dynamics. The price drop, although less pronounced than the surge, paints a picture of a market engaged in a tug-of-war between opposing forces.
Traders now find themselves in a landscape that demands careful navigation. While the futures market exerts downward pressure, the more significant upward movement in the spot market suggests a potential upward bias. Traders, however, need to incorporate various factors such as market news, broader crypto trends, and technical analysis indicators for a comprehensive understanding.
As of the latest data, HBAR is trading at $0.1077, with a trading volume of $296,556,315 in the last 24 hours. The recent decrease in volume by -42.90% indicates a decline in market activity. Ranked #32 on CoinGecko with a market capitalization of $3,632,543,423, HBAR has demonstrated resilience amid market fluctuations, outperforming the global cryptocurrency market with a 31.00% increase over the past 7 days.
The surge in HBAR's ecosystem, reaching an all-time high in Total Value Locked (TVL) within the $HBAR protocol, is attributed to the contributions of SaucerSwap Labs, accounting for approximately 80% of the total value locked on the platform. This surge in activity and interest underscores the increasing adoption and utility of the Hedera network, establishing its position as a significant player in the blockchain space.

How Does Spot Market Works?
What is the Spot Market?
The spot market is a financial marketplace where goods, securities, or commodities are traded for immediate delivery, as opposed to a future date. Traders often utilize this market to take advantage of price fluctuations promptly.
Spot market trading refers to the direct exchange of cash for a financial instrument, such as commodities, currencies, or securities. In contrast, a futures contract entails the delivery of the underlying asset at a later date. Both exchange markets and over-the-counter (OTC) platforms may involve spot trades and futures contracts.
Sustainability: A Growing Concern
Sustainability has become a pressing matter in recent years, as individuals and organizations are becoming increasingly aware of the need to protect our planet for future generations. This has led to a range of initiatives focused on sustainability and the preservation of natural resources, including the use of renewable energy, reducing waste, implementing conservation measures, and education on the importance of sustainability. These efforts are crucial in ensuring the long-term sustainability of our planet and its resources.
Open Market Concept
The spot market is a type of open market where goods, services, and financial assets are traded and delivered instantly, with payment occurring simultaneously. This allows for fast and efficient exchanges in real-time.
The Ins and Outs of Spot Market Transactions
Spot markets are known for their immediate delivery of goods, securities, or commodities. In this article, we will dive into the workings of a spot market transaction, including the players involved, how prices are determined, and the advantages and disadvantages of spot markets.
Elements of a Spot Market Transaction
In a spot market transaction, buyers and sellers come together to exchange cash for a financial asset. The exchange rate, also known as the spot price, is determined by the bids and asks submitted by the buyers and sellers. In highly liquid markets, the spot price can change constantly as orders are filled and new ones are placed.
Cost of Spot Market Trading
The spot price is the rate at which a financial asset can be bought or sold instantly. It is determined by the buy and sell offers submitted by the buyers and sellers. The term "spot" originates from the phrase "on the spot," which refers to an immediate purchase of an asset.
Spot Markets and Trading Platforms
Spot markets can be either over-the-counter (OTC) or formalized exchanges. OTC markets bring buyers and sellers together to negotiate and execute transactions, while exchanges are regulated by a governing body and allow traders to quickly buy and sell financial instruments and commodities. Exchanges serve as a source of information, displaying the current price and available volume to those with access.
Examples of Spot Markets and Exchanges
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is a prime example of a spot market where traders buy and sell stocks for immediate delivery. On the other hand, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is a futures market where traders purchase and sell futures contracts.

Comparing Spot Markets and OTC Trading: A Guide
Investors have two main options for trading: spot markets and over-the-counter (OTC) transactions. In this article, we will break down the key differences between these two forms of trading and provide an overview of their advantages and disadvantages.
Spot Markets: Trading in spot markets involves the immediate exchange of a security or commodity at the current market price on a specific exchange.
Pros:
1. Reflect real-time market value
2. Dynamic and fluid
3. Fast and efficient transactions
4. Determines prices in derivatives markets
5. Often liquid and active
Cons:
1. Physical possession of item is required
2. Not suitable for safeguarding against potential losses
OTC Trading: OTC trading is conducted directly between two parties without the assistance of a third-party exchange and is often used for more complex or less liquid assets.
Pros:
· Flexible terms
Cons:
· No central authority
· Price determined by buyer or seller

Final take
In conclusion, the spot market is a dynamic and efficient platform for the immediate purchase and sale of commodities and financial products. The current market value is reflected in real-time, making it a popular choice for producers and consumers of commodities who want to secure their position by hedging in derivatives markets. The spot market also provides quick and efficient transactions, making it an attractive option for traders who want to take advantage of fluctuations in prices. However, it is important to consider the disadvantages of spot markets, such as the need to physically possess the item and the lack of suitability for hedging against potential losses. Overall, the spot market offers a unique opportunity for fast and efficient transactions, making it an important component of the financial market.

¿Qué es el mercado al contado?
El mercado al contado o spot market, es donde los instrumentos financieros como materias primas, divisas y acciones son intercambiados para su entrega inmediata. En este caso, “entrega” se define como el intercambio de efectivo por el instrumento financiero. Un “contrato de futuros” por otra parte se basa en la entrega del activo subyacente en una fecha futura. Los mercados extrabursátiles (over-the-counter) pueden proveer tanto de comercio al contado como de intercambio de futuros.
Los mercados al contado también son llamados “mercados físicos” o “mercados de efectivo”, porque los intercambios son realizados por los activos de manera efectiva e inmediata. Mientras que la trasferencia de fondos entre el comprador y el vendedor en otros ámbitos puede tomar algún tiempo como es el caso de las bolsas de valores y en la mayoría de las divisas, ambas partes acuerdan hacer la transacción al momento.
En una operación que no sea al contado o transacción de futuros, se acuerda un precio en el momento, pero la entrega y transferencia de fondos tendrá lugar en una fecha posterior. El intercambio de futuros en contratos que están a punto de expirar, también es llamado, en ocasiones, intercambio al contado, dado que un acuerdo de este tipo a punto de llegar a su fin, significa que tanto comprador como vendedor estarán intercambiando efectivo y activo subyacente de manera inmediata.
El precio actual de un instrumento financiero el llamado “precio al contado”. Es el valor al cual dicho instrumento puede ser comprado o vendido de manera inmediata. Compradores y vendedores crean el precio al contado al publicar sus respectivas órdenes de compra y venta en el mercado. En mercados con abundante liquidez, el precio al contado puede cambiar a cada segundo, a medida que las órdenes con completadas y otras nuevas entran al mercado de manera constante.

Was thinking about eleven year old Fawn Spots Harry and made myself laugh because he would be so angry that technology doesn’t work at Hogwarts.
Full on “What do you mean Olympus has cell service and the middle of Scotland doesn’t?! It’s not even the same plane of fucking existence and calls aren’t even long distance!” Little man has not been more than a phone call away from his family since he was adopted and he is not coping well, but beyond that the lack of online databases, easy way to compile notes and write the eight million essays they’re assigned, and actual entertainment that isn’t ’dangerous flying dodgeball’ (which he does love tbh but still not everyone does) would drive him up the wall. Fuck the lack of things like highlighters and binders would piss him off. 
He would show up with a spiral notebook and a mechanical pencil and a pureblood child would pass out from shock. He writes his family constantly begging for any and all stationary they can send. He uses breaks to type up last term’s notes and introduces the first final study guide in Times New Roman into Hogwarts and makes a killing off of selling them. The older pureblood students beg on bended knee for help making their own and the muggleborns realize oh shit they can corner the market per year and subject. Harry will drag Hogwarts into the modern age if he has to do so kicking and screaming.
#the elf talks#harry potter#fawn spots au#Hermione sees him pull out a folder and immediately writes home because god dammit she misses her trapper keeper#the muggleborns all have an underground meme market and everyone else is so confuse#Dean sending those flying notes to Rick Roll other muggle raised students and being so damn smug about it#he took a whole summer to learn how to draw Rick astley from memory just for this#the twins see the psychic damage this does and help him charm it to play the song too#Hogwarts becomes a lot more chaotic in the 2000’s#Percy is the one to figure out how to get tech to work around magic#purebloods are sheltered Victorian children and Harry will find a way to put one in a coma by playing WAP

A few recent books I've read and disliked led me to this conclusion but it feels like there's been this switch over time with queer stories. It used to be that queer relationships (or queerness in general) had to be Show Don't Tell because, well, you could not make them textual! So you get, for example, shows like Legend of Korra, or Xena: Warrior Princess, where you have women who are clearly devoted to each other to a degree that goes beyond mere friendship, and a ton of effort and care is put into that depiction because they can't actually be shown in an explicitly stated relationship. And as a result, these relationships, while they never receive confirmation in the show, are rich and complex.
Now not only is it much easier to make explicitly queer stories outside of niche areas; it's even popular (and, cynically, a marketing tactic). The problem is I've run into a bunch of stories that are marketed very clearly as A Queer Story that forget to like...be a story, or show me why these characters should be in a relationship. It's All Tell No Show: I'm told that the characters are gay and are in a relationship, but no work is done to actually explain why I should care about this beyond "well they are gay and in a gay relationship."
I'm not going to rehash what I discussed here, but Baru Cormorant is an example of those books where I'm given no real reason to care. The protagonist is a lesbian but the prose reads like a phone book. On the other hand, while Starless has a queer disabled woman as a one of the two protagonists, it also provides her with traits other than "queer, disabled, woman, important" and grants her a rich interiority (even though the story is told entirely from the first person point of view of the other protagonist.)
And the thing about the good examples in that link (Starless, Teixcalaan): they show and tell. It's both explicit that these are queer stories with a canon romantic relationship, but the little moments that make up the tapestry of a relationship are given the time that moments in a subtextual - or frankly, even a queerbaiting work are. That's the real tragedy; for queerbaiting to work, you have to actually make the relationship compelling enough for people follow it until you pull the rug out from under them; whereas you can slap a cold fish kiss on a cold fish queer relationship and technically you are Better because it was Explicit Representation even though everything about it was poorly constructed. I would rather have an lazy and shoddy explicit relationship than queerbait just on principle; but honestly I'd rather have a good story that does neither.
One of my more cynical interpretations of this is that writers are either intentionally or inadvertently taking advantage of the legacy of the Show Don't Tell era of queer coding to place the burden of those small moments on the audience. They know that people looking for queer relationships in fiction are used to having to dig for moments and subtext; but instead of providing that subtext, they set up the clunky text and assume the subtext to support it will emerge from the fandom. Or perhaps, more generously, especially for younger queer writers, they are just so used to having to provide that work themselves that they forget they are doing the writing and are able to (and should) layer subtext and text together and weave something actually good.
Either way, it's this that's led to the "Lesbian necromancers in space, need I say more"* era of recommendations, taglines, and writing, in which explicit representation is, if not plentiful, at least available; but a worrying amount of it forgets to actually write realized characters or a relationship with chemistry or a plot that makes sense.
I should also note: there's obviously a TON of straight romances and books that range from mediocre to abominable. I am under no circumstances arguing that "gayboring" media shouldn't exist. But while I don't think queer stories should be held to a higher standard, I don't think I should be obligated to settle for a lower standard either simply because it's gay. I know it's fraught, in that we're at risk of publishers and producers taking away the message "people hate this because it's gay" rather than "people hate this because it's poorly developed," but like...at the very least, could we recommend things in terms of "this is a great book that has a wonderful queer romance" and "this show is gay but it is also deeply mediocre, and if it weren't gay I wouldn't recommend it at all; do what you will with this information."
*I should note: I happen to like The Locked Tomb (of Lesbian Necromancers in Space fame) a lot! I know it's not for everyone; I know it can feel very gimmicky at times. But no matter how you feel, that tagline is DIRE and does a miserable job of representing the books. Like, that premise could suck, actually (and plenty of people find it does) if you're not sold on the mere fact that it's got lesbians, necromancy, or space in it. Worth noting that neither Starless nor the Teixcalaan books were heavily marketed as Queer Romance Fantasy/SF even though both very much are, which does further make me think this is a case of people writing good books that are queer, vs. people writing books with the intention to be on some New Queer SF list or, god forbid, Booktok.
#long post#the book i read this week (light from uncommon stars) was also like. really hit or miss#the locus review of it is spot on. like. i think one of the characters' stories is fantastic but i think it's afraid to have any bite.#also this was out of scope for this post but like. i have recommended terra ignota before#and like. it is saying THE MOST about Gender since Le Guin or Butler imo. but it's NOT marketed as queer at all#and part of that is that it's really not capable to read it as a romance (certainly not a happy one) despite there being queer pairs in it

My WIPS from the tiredest day. @supernovasolace made a great joke about being in jello jail after being sucked into an ooze in our last session of DnD, so I'm making a sticker design for them to list in their shop.
And then I sketched a giraffe.

GTober day 23: Swamp:
Minigiant Swamp monster who despite being a “monster” still tries to be nice to people.
Someone got lost, they guide them back to the edge of town.
Someone got injured, they do what they can to nurse them back to health.
And while the townspeople may be wary, they let Minigiant Swamp monster wander around town. They never harm anyone anyway so…
And they always stop by the old lady’s house for some home made snickerdoodles.
#g/t#giant/tiny#gtober#local swamp monster spotted at the market trading mushrooms and moss#most likely for pretty looking fabrics#I could never wrote horror#not when I try to make everything sweet

Does Sannyo paint her nails?
I understand it is an incredibly specific question, but we might be uncovering the FIRST nail painted 2hu. (not counting claws, obviously) I recently saw the art for Sannyo that they use in Touhou Lost Word, and noticed something that made me wonder where they got the idea from. (after also noticing the smoke comes from her feet and not her pipe for some nonsensical reason)
So I wondered where they got that idea from. I found this kinda strange because I've seen her fingernails a lot in Lotus Eaters and thought i remembered with certainty her fingernails at least aren't painted.
sure, maybe a bit of shading can occasionally make it look like it.
except I now realized that that isn't always the case
Oh, i see, those are some definitively painted nails, so it appears they are indeed painted occasionally. But what about the toenails I mentioned before?
I'll give this one a probably.
(I didn't expect the Zun art would help, I just added it because I thought Zun's little toes would be a funny contrast)
So the answer is yes, sometimes she does, sometimes she goes without, but since they very from frame to frame, even on the same day, they are also effectively....Schrödinger's nails.
