Hedera Hits One-Year Low Amid Broad Crypto Market Sell-Off

Hedera Dips to Fresh Lows Amid High-Volume Resistance Rejection

Hedera (HBAR) dropped sharply through key support levels on Sunday, falling 5.8% from $0.1202 to $0.1127 as technical selling pressure outweighed early buying interest. The decline followed a failed attempt to sustain gains above $0.1218, cementing a bearish structure dominated by profit-taking near resistance zones.

Trading volume highlighted the session’s dynamics. Activity surged to 69.18 million tokens at 20:00 UTC on Dec. 14, representing an 86% increase over the 24-hour average of 32.8 million tokens, as HBAR tested critical resistance near $0.1194. The rejection at this level sparked heavy selling, driving the price below established support. Subsequent sessions saw declining volumes, suggesting waning institutional participation during the downward move.

However, a late-session breakout hinted at a potential reversal from the bearish structure. Institutional flows appeared to influence both the initial selloff and the recovery attempt, making the $0.1194 resistance zone a pivotal battleground for HBAR’s near-term trajectory. Aside from a brief spike during October’s liquidation event, HBAR now trades at its lowest levels since November 2024.

Key Technical Levels

  • Support/Resistance: $0.1194 continues to act as critical resistance after the high-volume rejection, while short-term support has formed at $0.1121. Deeper support remains near $0.11.
  • Volume Analysis: Peak trading validated resistance integrity, while a 750% volume spike toward session close indicated renewed institutional interest following prior declines.
  • Chart Patterns: The descending trendline from the $0.1218 high was breached, but HBAR remains in a consolidation range between $0.1129 and $0.1193.
  • Targets & Risk/Reward: A breakout above $0.1194 could target the prior high near $0.1218, while failure to hold $0.1121 risks a retest of $0.11 support.

HBAR’s price action suggests a delicate balance between bearish momentum and potential recovery, with institutional flows and key technical levels likely to dictate the next move.
