Hedera’s HBAR token extended its slide after losing critical support, with a late-session trading freeze, collapsing activity, and repeated failed rebounds signaling growing liquidity fragility and structural pressure.
HBAR fell to $0.1373, a decisive break below the long-held $0.145 support zone after buyers failed to defend the recent consolidation band. The late-day downturn confirmed a shift from neutral conditions to a clearly bearish market structure, with price action weakening steadily into the close.
Liquidity deteriorated sharply in the final hour of trading. A brief halt between 14:12 and 14:14—during which no trades were executed—flagged potential structural problems or a short-term liquidity vacuum. Such disruptions can intensify downward momentum when market stress is already elevated.
Earlier in the session, trading activity surged 138%, exposing firm resistance at $0.1486. Although HBAR managed a sharp V-shaped recovery from its $0.1382 intraday low, the rebound quickly lost traction, leaving the token vulnerable to renewed selling pressure.
Technical Landscape Signals Elevated Breakdown Risk
Support & Resistance
- The $0.1382 support level becomes pivotal after the consolidation structure gave way.
- Former support at $0.1445 is now expected to act as overhead resistance.
- Strong resistance remains at $0.1486, where the earlier volume spike marked heavy rejection.
Volume Dynamics
- A 146.94 million token surge—138% above the 61.8 million average—indicates a distribution phase.
- Volume collapse to 9.76 million preceded the breakdown.
- The zero-volume trading halt highlights extreme short-term liquidity stress.
Chart Setup
- The consolidation channel between $0.1446 and $0.1477 has been invalidated.
- The sharp rebound from $0.1382 failed to develop into sustainable momentum.
- A daily trading range of $0.0096 (6.5%) underscores heightened volatility.
Risk/Reward Outlook
- Continued trade below $0.1440 keeps downside targets centered on the $0.1382 support.
- Attempts at recovery face immediate resistance at the former $0.1445 support level.
- The brief trading suspension raises broader concerns about liquidity depth and structural resilience.
