Key Takeaways

  • HBAR price sees double-digit growth, forming a bullish flag pattern.
  • A breakout above the flag’s upper trendline could push the price to $0.4.
  • Indicators like EMA and Fibonacci retracement suggest further upside potential.

Hedera (HBAR) stumbled out of the gate in 2025, hitting a low of $0.26 on New Year’s Day, sparking concerns of a rough year ahead.

However, the token has since rebounded impressively, surging by 18.5% and positioning itself as one of the top-performing assets in recent days.

This rally has sparked speculation about whether the HBAR can sustain its upward momentum.

HBAR Technical Setup Turns Bullish

On the daily chart, HBAR has formed a bullish flag.

A bull flag pattern begins with a sharp, almost vertical price surge—known as the flagpole—as buyers overpower sellers.

This is followed by a pullback, forming a flag-shaped structure with parallel upper and lower trendlines.

After this, the price breaks out of the flag, indicating that the cryptocurrency is ready for another strong rally.

As seen below, HBAR broke out of the flag as soon as the price hit $0.3.

At press time, the price had climbed to $0.32. If the token’s value remains above the flag’s upper trendline, then HBAR is likely to climb further.

HBAR Price Prediction: Higher Highs Likely

Still examining the daily chart, the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) also seems to support this thesis.

Typically, the downward crossover of the shorter EMA through the longer one is termed a “death cross.” This indicates the end of an uptrend.

However, HBAR’s daily chart reveals that the 20 EMA (blue) has remained above the 50 EMA (yellow) since Nov. 11, 2024.

This position, termed a “golden cross,” indicates that the altcoin’s price action is still bullish. If sustained, the price might refrain from experiencing a significant correction.

On the flip side, if HBAR’s price slips below the EMA, the expected rally might face a setback.

However, several technical indicators, as mentioned above, show that the asset is less likely to experience a drawdown in the short term.

A look at the Fibonacci retracement indicator reveals that HBAR has broken above the 0.786 level. Rising above this level indicates that it has surpassed a major resistance.

Still, the Hedera native token might need to face another resistance at $0.37.

Should buying pressure increase, the next target for the asset could be around $0.40. In a highly bullish scenario, HBAR might inch toward the $0.5 mark.

However, this prediction might be invalidated if the price breaks below the lower trendline of the bullish flag.

However, if HBAR slips below the flag’s trendline, the price could retrace to $0.25 or even $0.18, corresponding with key Fibonacci levels.
