HBAR Slides Nearly 6% as Institutional Selling Breaches Key Support; Double-Bottom Forms
Hedera’s HBAR dropped 5.9% on Monday as institutional selling pressured the market, breaking critical support near $0.1500. The sell-off intensified around 15:00 GMT, with volume surging 71% above average, triggering stop-loss cascades and forcing momentum traders to exit positions quickly.
Throughout most of the session, HBAR remained under bearish control, consolidating between $0.1430 and $0.1470 after establishing new resistance at $0.1512. Despite persistent selling, the narrow consolidation suggested a temporary pause in downside momentum.
Late-session activity showed signs of exhaustion as volume tapered and volatility eased. A bounce from $0.144 to $0.145 on roughly 3 million units hinted at potential accumulation at key support, though a sustained move above $0.145 is needed to confirm a reversal against the broader downtrend.
