HBAR Forms Key Support Zone Amid Bearish Pressure
Hedera (HBAR) is currently testing a crucial support range between $0.125 and $0.165, historically known as a strong accumulation zone. According to X Finance Bull , this is where “legends buy HBAR,” not where panic selling occurs. The post reflects the belief that HBAR’s current structure may favor long-term accumulation over short-term selling.
The pattern was seen in reversals in mid-2023 and early 2024, therefore a sustained move could allow buyers to push prices toward the $0.18–$0.20 resistance band.
HBAR remains in a compression phase, balancing between accumulating demand and persistent bearish pressure. Until a clear breakout or breakdown occurs.
Technical Indicators Turn Cautious as Death Cross Appears
On the technical side, HBAR faces pressure as a Death Cross recently formed — where the 50-day EMA fell below the 200-day EMA. Historically, this signal often precedes short-term weakness, although past instances for HBAR have lasted less than two months before recovery.
A clean break above $0.178 could trigger a rebound toward $0.200, and mark a potential trend reversal.But, failure to hold the $0.162 support will extend losses to $0.154, and earlier demand zones.
Open Interest and Market Sentiment Reflect Investor Caution
Hedera’s Open Interest (OI) has remained flat at approximately $129 million following major liquidations earlier this month. The stagnation reflects an environment, where traders are refraining from long leverage positions.
Nearly $200 million in positions were liquidated in the recent wipe out. This caused a sharp contraction in trading activity, and the lack of rebound in OI suggests that speculative traders are waiting for confirmation before re-entering the market.
For now, Hedera’s narrow trading range and stable OI signal consolidation. A rise in participation or renewed volume could determine whether the next move favors a recovery toward $0.200 or a continuation toward $0.154.
