Mobile Carrier Beta Passed, Expands Network Reach
HIP 129 was passed three days back, allowing all Mobile hotspots to participate in the Carrier Beta. This expands the reach of the Carrier Beta which will affect the performance of the network in the long term.
With almost the entire mainland United States having Helium network coverage, the community will observe a jump in the number of users trying to offload Carrier beta. As of press time, over 58,000 users have joined since last week, a net gain of 5,122.
Data usage has also experienced an uptick with an additional 1.5 terabytes of data flowing through the platform.
Investors Win With New Opportunities For Helium
The token is currently resting above the $7.2 support with the bulls approaching the $8 ceiling confidently. With a strong bullish sentiment backing its trajectory, HNT is set to break through this ceiling in the coming hours or days. Thanks to Helium’s on-chain developments, investors’ confidence is at its highest as they continue to accumulate the token.

However, the relative strength index (RSI) suggests that the momentum will slow down. But this may occur well after a breakthrough on the $8 ceiling. If this occurs, investors and traders have a shot at $9 in the long term.
Putting the market’s general sentiment into consideration, HNT might experience a slight pullback, possibly returning to the $7-$8 price range before a strong upward push towards $9. This represents a nearly 22% increase in price.
Investors and traders, however, should be mindful of the market as any swing of the broader market might influence the token’s trajectory in more ways than one.
