- HBAR climbed above $0.095 as crypto sentiment improved following recent macro-driven swings.
- The $0.13–$0.15 area could present significant resistance for bullish momentum.
- Hedera needs to reclaim and hold above $0.10 to confirm a potential trend reversal.
Hedera (HBAR) rallied more than 5% in 24 hours as cryptocurrency markets turned positive, with bulls seeking momentum amid optimism that tensions between the US and Iran may ease. As HBAR eyes a breakout above $0.10, traders are watching key resistance clusters that could stall further gains. The technical picture highlights the levels to watch.
Why HBAR rose and is testing a key level
HBAR reached intraday highs near $0.095 as Bitcoin and the broader market reacted to geopolitical developments. The uptick followed comments from former US President Donald Trump suggesting easing tensions with Iran, which temporarily boosted risk appetite across financial markets.
Bitcoin rose above $71,000 during the session, while BNB moved higher toward $650, helping to lift altcoins. Despite the short-term relief, uncertainty persists. Ongoing regional tensions and broader macroeconomic headwinds continue to cap upside for crypto assets.
Complicating the outlook, Iranian state media reportedly disputed the claims of negotiations, saying no talks are underway and rejecting the remarks. With that backdrop, HBAR’s near-term path remains closely tied to overall market sentiment.
If Bitcoin weakens again, HBAR could fall back below $0.09. Conversely, sustained buying pressure above current levels would increase the chance of a short-term extension, with a resistance cluster likely to determine the next leg of the move.
Hedera price outlook: can bulls sustain the rally?
Analysts monitoring Hedera point to $0.10 as a pivotal near-term level, with upside targets in the $0.13–$0.15 range. That area has acted as a cap on recent rallies, preventing sustained advances.
For bulls to extend the move, HBAR must surpass the 50-day exponential moving average near $0.098 and hold above the 100-day EMA around $0.11. Clearing those moving averages would put the token on a path toward a larger resistance zone near the 200-day EMA at about $0.13, which has produced rejections in past attempts.
Earlier breakout attempts have struggled to maintain momentum beyond $0.15, so a decisive break of that ceiling would be required for a stronger bullish trend.
On the daily chart, HBAR is retesting the middle band of the Bollinger Bands. The bands are tightening, reflecting reduced volatility and suggesting a potential breakout may be approaching, though confirmation is still necessary.
Failure to clear the $0.13–$0.15 resistance range could push HBAR back into a consolidation corridor inside a longer-term descending channel. In that case, the token may trade sideways for an extended period while traders await clearer macro signals or fundamental catalysts to drive the next directional move.
On the downside, bears may target major support near $0.07 and $0.06 if selling pressure intensifies.
