Hedera's HBAR token slipped nearly 1% over the past 24 hours to trade around $0.092, with daily trading volume dropping 13%. Analysts now warn of a possible 20% slide from current levels, targeting the $0.072 zone — a floor where prices have bounced robustly in prior retests.
Why traders are watching $0.072
The $0.075–$0.070 support range represents a roughly 20% decline from today's price near $0.092. If selling persists, that band could come into play. The relative strength index (RSI) on the daily timeframe hovers near 50, but is sloping downward, hinting at a potential move toward oversold conditions. If bullish divergence fails to trigger an immediate reversal, weak conviction among buyers could push HBAR toward that support area.
On the flip side, holding above $0.090 would strengthen the bullish case. Upside targets sit initially at $0.12, then $0.15.
Exchange inflows signal profit-taking
On-chain data reveals increased transfers of HBAR to exchanges, a classic sign that short-term holders are cashing out. The move suggests that recent rallies are being met with selling pressure from those who bought at lower levels. That pattern often precedes further downside if demand doesn't absorb the supply.
ETF inflows provide a counterweight
Not all signals are bearish. Net inflows into Canary's spot Hedera ETF have picked up. Since its debut in October 2025, the product has seen just one trading day of net outflows. That steady accumulation by institutional investors through the ETF could blunt some of the selling pressure from short-term traders.
The contrasting data — profit-taking on one hand, ETF buying on the other — leaves the market in a tug-of-war. Which force wins out may determine whether HBAR can hold the $0.090 handle or slides toward the $0.072 floor.
Inflation jitters add to the mix
Broader macroeconomic conditions aren't helping. Elevated US inflation readings have triggered fresh jitters across crypto markets, with Bitcoin slipping from recent highs. When the largest cryptocurrency loses altitude, altcoins like HBAR often feel the gravity sooner and harder.
For now, HBAR sits at a crossroads. The $0.090 level is the immediate line in the sand. If it breaks, the path to $0.072 opens up. If it holds, the rally toward $0.12 remains in play.
