What to know:
- HBAR crashed from $0.1426 to $0.1281, shattering $0.1350 support.
- Volume spiked to 250.3 million during peak selling at 07:00 GMT.
- Descending channel emerges with resistance capped at $0.1400.
HBAR tumbled 11.5% on Tuesday as intense institutional selling overwhelmed the market, smashing the token from $0.1426 to $0.1281. A massive 250.3 million-unit sell wave at 07:00 GMT—nearly double the 24-hour average—erased the key $0.1350 support and unleashed a cascade of stop-loss triggers. The breakdown came despite ongoing network development efforts, underscoring that technical flows—not fundamentals—were driving the session.
The rout deepened as HBAR logged consecutive lower highs and heavier volume with each leg down, repeatedly testing the $0.1277 zone. With resistance now firm at $0.1400, market structure has tilted decisively bearish, reflecting broader crypto-market weakness. Tuesday’s failed defense of $0.1350 became the central turning point, highlighting how institutional positioning dictated price action.

Into the final hour of trading, capitulation pressure intensified. HBAR slid from $0.1317 to $0.1277 as sharp volume spikes hit 8.76 million and 11.13 million in rapid succession before activity abruptly stalled at the session low. The sudden freeze suggests either aggressive absorption or a technical halt—conditions that could set the stage for a reversal if buyers re-emerge, even as bearish momentum remains dominant.
