Key Takeaways

  • HBAR made a descending triangle breakout
  • A new uptrend could be forming, but it is still unconfirmed
  • Two scenarios are in play depending on the current Fib level interaction

After reaching its yearly high close to $0.40, Hedera’s (HBAR) price started correcting, forming a descending triangle.

On Sunday, Dec. 22, it bounced from its support, leading to a breakout.

New upward advancement could be starting, but further confirmations are needed.

Fibonacci retracement levels are drawn to highlight key support and resistance zones. 

The price has recently bounced from the 0.382 level, falling slightly below it at $0.24, making an upturn.

We saw an increase of 39% to a high of $0.34 on Dec. 24, but the price is now being traded slightly lower. 

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is moving out of the overbought region, signaling that the market is gaining momentum.

However, it is important to monitor the upcoming Fibonacci resistance levels and see if the price can break through them. If these levels hold, a potential reversal or consolidation could occur.

Key Observations:

  • The 0.236 Fibonacci level has acted as support, with the next resistance at 0.382 and 0.5.
  • RSI is showing increasing momentum after recovering from oversold conditions.
  • Wave 4 consolidation pattern may signal a strong move in wave 5.

HBAR Price Prediction

The hourly chart shows a corrective wave structure for HBAR, with clear Elliott Wave components.

The price has entered wave 4, which has taken the form of a triangle ABCDE pattern, suggesting consolidation before a final push in wave 5.

The price has recently bounced from the lower support trend line of the descending triangle.

The Fibonacci retracement levels are critical in determining potential support and resistance during this correction.

The price is approaching the 0.236 level, and if this holds, it could signal the start of an impulsive move in wave 5. The 0.382 and 0.5 levels will be key to watch for further support in the case of further downside movement. 

The RSI slightly recovers from overbought levels but is still below 50, indicating weak momentum.

We may see further bullish continuation if the price breaks through the higher resistance levels. Failure to break these levels could result in a deeper correction or a sideways consolidation.

Key Levels to Watch:

  • 0.236 Fibonacci level: 0.3082 (first support to hold)
  • 0.382 Fibonacci level: 0.2578 (next resistance zone)
  • 0.5 Fibonacci level: 0.2169 (critical support zone)
  • Resistance near 0.3899 (the upper boundary of the triangle pattern)
  • Support near 0.2065 (lower support trend line of the triangle)
