Can Barcelona’s Seventh Straight Win Fire Up $BAR?

Barcelona have opened the La Liga season with seven consecutive victories, but the club’s Fan Token® remains close to its all-time low. Could sustained success finally wake up $BAR?

Barcelona maintained their perfect start to the La Liga season on Saturday, beating Sevilla 3-1 to move five points clear at the top of the table, and racking up their seventh win in seven games.

The victory was secured by a Raphinha hat-trick, taking the Brazilian’s tally to 12 goals in seven league matches. Sevilla had taken an early lead, but Raphinha equalised four minutes later before adding twice in the second half. 

Yet Barcelona’s flawless form has not necessarily been reflected in the valuation of the FC Barcelona Fan Token® ($BAR) in the past few weeks. 

But is that set to change?

Why Has $BAR Failed to Match Barcelona’s Form? 

Strong results do not automatically create demand for a Fan Token®. Prices are also shaped by wider crypto-market conditions, and things like available liquidity and trader expectations, which may explain why Barcelona’s winning run has produced little movement so far. 

A potentially stronger reason is the simple fact that Barcelona have been clear favorites to beat just about every team they’ve played so far. Each victory strengthened Barcelona’s position in the league, but none necessarily delivered the type of unexpected event that can jolt a market into action. 

A sustained run of league victories can gradually improve sentiment, but it may also become the expected baseline for a team that is generally anticipated to achieve a lot more success than failure.

Could Barcelona’s Winning Run Still Lift $BAR? 

Barcelona beat Sevilla 3-1 this past weekend, and following the game, the value of the Barcelona Fan Token® ($BAR) had climbed by a respectable 11.7%.

Trade volume rose from around $800,000 to over $3.15M in the past 24 hours, making it one of the most-traded tokens by time of writing, early on Sept. 21. 

That’s the most that $BAR has been traded in the past month. 

With the 11.7% rise, and roaring trade volumes, there are certainly reasons to believe that $BAR might now be on the up.

What Could Fire Up $BAR? 

The international break temporarily interrupts Barcelona’s winning run, but Hansi Flick’s team will return to a demanding sequence of games. They are due to visit Galatasaray in the Champions League on October 13, face Real Betis four days later, and then travel to Paris Saint-Germain on October 20.  

That gives Barcelona three difficult away matches in eight days, including European meetings with two other clubs that have official Fan Tokens®, among them double Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain ($PSG).

Ultimately, this morning’s $3.15M trade volume is an encouraging sign, and may signal the spark that triggers $BAR’s revival. 

For now, Barcelona have supplied almost everything $BAR traders could ask for on the pitch: seven wins, a five-point lead and one of Europe’s most prolific forwards. 

Whether that’s enough to sustain $BAR’s recent upturn remains to be seen.
