Key Takeaways
Hedera (HBAR) has lost steam after its ETF-driven rally, signaling a potential shift in trend.
The completed A-B-C corrective structure suggests that bulls have already lost momentum and bears have taken over.
HBAR faces more downside pressure in the short term, which could lead to lower prices if the current channel fails to initiate a bounce.
The four-hour chart shows that the price of Hedera completed an A-B-C correction (green) starting on Oct. 10.
Even though the bounce was substantial, the nature of the increase suggests that it was corrective.
Wave C was slightly longer than Wave A, having been elongated by the positive news relating to the ETF.
Hence, new lows are likely to occur since the structure has ended.
Additionally, the HBAR price fell below the $0.195 horizontal area, confirming it as a resistance level.

Finally, momentum indicators are bearish. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) fell below 50 while the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) is negative.
Therefore, the Hedera price prediction is bearish, and new lows are likely to be reached before the end of the year.
A closer look at the six-hour price chart shows that Hedera is trading inside an ascending parallel channel and risks breaking down from it.
HBAR trades in the lower portion of the channel, increasing the likelihood of a breakdown.
Like the 4-hour chart, the RSI and MACD are bearish, supporting the possibility of a breakdown to new lows.

Once that happens, HBAR could find temporary support at the $0.165 horizontal support area.
However, since the bounce is corrective, the Hedera prediction is bearish, suggesting the price will crash to new lows.
If that happens, the price of HBAR will fall to the closest long-term horizontal support at $0.140.
Combined with long-term diagonal resistance, the support area creates a bearish descending triangle pattern.

While the pattern could eventually lead to a breakdown, the HBAR price will likely bounce in the short-term once it reaches it.
Hence, the breakdown from the short-term channel could end once HBAR tests $0.140.
Hedera’s short-lived bounce appears to have ended, and the charts suggest the worst is yet to come.
As HBAR hovers in the lower portion of its corrective pattern, the risk of a breakdown grows.
Once the price of Hedera breaks down from its channel, it could quickly plunge to $0.140.
