HBAR Drops to $0.217 Before Bouncing Back Strongly

HBAR Dips to $0.217 Before Rebounding Amid Institutional Accumulation
24 September 2025

Hedera’s HBAR saw a volatile trading session, ultimately posting modest gains as institutional buyers stepped in at key support levels.

Over a 23-hour period from September 23–24, HBAR fluctuated between $0.217 and $0.225, finishing the session up 0.9% despite intraday swings. A sharp decline to $0.217 at 04:00 on September 24 marked a critical support zone, followed by a strong recovery, while $0.225 held as firm resistance.

Volume data indicates institutional accumulation during the dip. Turnover spiked to 97.05 million at 04:00, significantly above the average 37.89 million, signaling buying at lower levels. Selling pressure returned later, with HBAR slipping from $0.224 to $0.223 in the final hour on volume nearly three times the norm, pointing to distribution.

The session coincided with a major development: Canary Capital filed for a spot HBAR ETF with a 1.95% expense ratio. Analysts say the filing highlights growing institutional recognition of Hedera’s hashgraph technology and could support long-term growth, with price targets of $0.50 by 2025–2026 and $1.60 or more by 2030.

Near-term performance will depend on whether support at $0.217–$0.218 holds and if continued institutional demand offsets selling pressure around $0.225.
