HBAR Declines 4% as Large-Scale Investors Offload Positions

Hedera Hashgraph’s HBAR token fell roughly 4% between August 31 and September 1 as institutional investors reduced exposure, pushing trading volumes to over 110 million tokens during overnight sessions.

Price activity centered around $0.22, with intraday swings reaching highs of $0.23 and lows of $0.22. Most of the selling occurred after hours, suggesting coordinated divestment. Market makers tried to stabilize the token in the $0.21–$0.22 range, but resistance above $0.22 limited any recovery.

Despite the downturn, Hedera maintains its focus on enterprise adoption. Daily trading volume dropped 46% to $172.85 million, while market capitalization remained near $9.5 billion.

Selling pressure accelerated in the final hour of trading on September 1, with HBAR briefly breaching multiple support levels. About 3.5 million tokens changed hands in a single minute as the price dipped below $0.22, closing near session lows. With institutional flows leaning negative, analysts suggest further corporate repositioning may continue in the near term.
