Key Takeaways
Hedera (HBAR) has been in a prolonged downtrend but recently showed signs of a potential reversal after reaching a key support zone.
The 4-hour chart suggests that the corrective wave may be complete, while the 1-hour chart highlights an emerging five-wave impulse that could confirm a trend reversal.
The 4-hour chart shows that HBAR has been in a corrective structure, forming a descending channel since reaching its local high on Jan. 17 at $0.40.
The decline appears to have completed a WXY corrective pattern, with wave Y reaching a major support zone at $0.21, aligning with the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level.
Recently, the price bounced from this key support forming a double-bottom eyeing to break the descending channel’s resistance line.
Since its recent low, it has risen by nearly 16%. The breakout would suggest that the downtrend ended with an early wave (i), forming a new upward cycle.
Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) displayed a bullish divergence near the lows, reinforcing the possibility of a trend shift.
HBAR must reclaim the $0.258 level to confirm a sustained recovery, corresponding to the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement from the recent downtrend.
A move above this level could indicate a transition from a corrective phase into a new bullish, impulsive structure.
However, failure to hold above $0.217 could lead to another retest of the $0.20 support zone before a clearer uptrend develops.
Looking at the 1-hour chart, the Elliott Wave count suggests that a new five-wave structure may unfold.
Wave (i) has likely been completed at around $0.225, and wave (ii) may form a minor retracement before another leg up.
If the bullish scenario plays out, wave (iii) could extend towards the 0.382 Fibonacci level at $0.258, which aligns with the Feb. 3 high.
A potential wave (iv) pullback might follow, testing the $0.240 area before a final push in wave (v) towards the $0.278 zone.
This region is critical because it represents previous price congestion and a key horizontal resistance level.
Alternatively, if HBAR fails to maintain the breakout and dips below the $0.217 support, it may revisit the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement at $0.176, invalidating the bullish scenario in the short term.
The RSI remains in neutral territory, suggesting room for further upside if momentum sustains.
