Key Takeaways
Hedera (HBAR) has shown significant price fluctuations and is trading near a key Fibonacci retracement level.
The broader structure suggests a corrective phase following an impulsive wave, while lower time frames indicate the potential for a bullish breakout.
After a 47% recovery, a pullback was seen, but the price maintained a higher low above $0.20. This could be an early sign of the starting uptrend, but further confirmation is needed.
HBAR completed a five-wave Elliott Wave impulse in December, peaking near $0.39 before undergoing a corrective structure labeled wave 4.
The correction unfolded in a WXY format, testing the December high before it fell to the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level of $0.177 on Feb 3.
After a sharp decline from its previous high, the price snapped above the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level ($0.2187). This level aligns with prior structural supports, making it a critical demand zone.
A temporary bounce suggests accumulation, but bullish confirmation requires reclaiming higher resistance levels.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart indicates oversold conditions, aligning with a corrective wave bottoming out.
However, price action remains below the 0.382 Fibonacci level ($0.2597), which acts as immediate resistance. A break above this could trigger further bullish momentum.
The overall trend remains bullish as long as price action holds above the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level ($0.2187).
If support at $0.22 fails, further downside toward the 0.618 retracement level ($0.1777) could follow. However, it appears its support will hold as we have already seen some bullish signs.
On the 1-hour chart, HBAR has likely completed wave (ii) of a new impulsive sequence and is setting up for a strong wave (iii) rally.
The structure suggests a textbook Elliott Wave pattern, with a higher low forming near the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement ($0.2187), reinforcing the bullish case.
If this interpretation holds, wave (iii) should extend towards the 0.236 Fibonacci level ($0.3104) as the next resistance.
A further extension could push the price toward the 0.3518 level, aligning with historical liquidity zones.
However, confirmation requires a decisive move above $0.26 (0.382 Fibonacci level), which currently acts as a short-term resistance.
The RSI on the 1-hour chart is recovering from oversold levels, suggesting an increase in bullish momentum. The price could target the 0.39 completing wave (v) if buying volume increases.
Failure to hold above $0.22 would invalidate the bullish scenario, leading to further corrective movement.
The invalidation level for the bullish wave structure sits at $0.1777, the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement.
