HBAR jumps 10%, tests $0.08 resistance as buyers show renewed interest

HBAR faces weekly resistance after sharp gain

The latest price action follows a sustained upward move after HBAR recently tested the lower trendline of its descending weekly channel. Market observers point to a bullish divergence on the chart, where HBAR’s price registered a new low while the momentum indicator set a higher low, often seen as a precursor to a potential trend reversal or at least signaling that selling pressure has weakened.

Technical analysts draw parallels to November 2024, when HBAR more than quadrupled in value over two months, though there is caution about expecting a similar result in the current environment. The chart highlights fair value gaps above the current price, marked in orange, signifying regions where past trading imbalances could either spark further gains or act as stiff resistance in the weeks ahead.

Weekly confirmation, rather than short-term spikes, remains key to validating any breakout as the HBAR price tests the upper edge of its multi-month channel.

The presence of these fair value gaps creates uncertainty about the speed and direction of any further upside, with seasoned market participants emphasizing the importance of closely watching weekly closes for clearer signals.

Rally restores $0.08 as key psychological level

HBAR’s intraday movement reflected pronounced volatility, with the token bouncing from lows near $0.073 to $0.08087 within one trading session. Market capitalization stands at $3.54 billion while trading volume reached $73.35 million for the day. There are 43.83 billion HBAR tokens in circulation.

The sharp move upward allowed HBAR to reclaim the $0.08 mark, briefly approaching the daily high and reinforcing the level as a key area for both buyers and sellers. Despite the gains, the token is still down by 85.79% from its historical high of $0.57, highlighting that recent momentum is predominantly a short-term reversal within a broader downtrend. The support zone has now shifted upward to the $0.081-$0.084 range.

Momentum and volume trends signal cautious optimism

TradingView data reveals HBAR rising from $0.0755 to $0.0806, with sustained buying pressure observable during afternoon trading. Bollinger-based strategy indicators highlight multiple buy signals during minor pullbacks and several sell markers near short-term price extensions, before the asset consolidates at its intraday peak.

The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) index, which measures institutional buying and selling pressure, stands at 0.09, indicating a modest positive capital flow even as momentum appears to slow near resistance. Intraday volume metrics also suggest increased but not yet decisive trading activity, as the one-minute volume reached 14,090 HBAR at its latest reading.

The current price action shows buyers are active, but confirmation of a clear breakout will depend on sustained weekly closes above critical resistance levels.

Strategic levels ahead determine possible breakout

For HBAR to signal a confirmed bullish trend reversal, it must sustain moves above $0.079 and close the week above $0.081. This could enable a test of the $0.084-$0.085 zone, correlating with upper resistance on longer timeframes and former gap areas.

If the price falls back, a neutral scenario may see HBAR consolidate between $0.078 and $0.081, resetting volume in the process. Downside breaks below $0.078 open the possibility for further declines toward $0.076 and $0.073, levels where sellers could regain control and undermine the current channel breakout thesis.
