HBAR climbed 2.38% to $0.144 as trading volume surged 59% above its weekly average, driven by Axelar’s new integration that links Hedera to more than 60 blockchains.
Despite the catalyst, the token lagged the broader market, underperforming the CD5 index by 1.64% as capital rotated into other digital assets. Intraday volatility remained elevated, with a $0.0146 range and a peak at $0.1555 before sellers pushed price into a descending channel.

Support formed near $0.1410 as late-session buying stabilized the pullback. Short-term data showed a strong 60-minute reversal pushing HBAR from $0.1413 to $0.1443 on robust volume, reinforcing bullish momentum above newly established support. Still, the broader trend remains heavy, defined by persistent lower highs that have shaped the market since September.
HBAR continues to trade below key EMAs, with the 20-day at $0.155 and higher-timeframe resistance reinforced by the 50- and 100-day EMAs at $0.174 and $0.189. The macro trend remains bearish; tempering optimism around Axelar-driven interoperability gains. Traders will be watching whether expanding cross-chain liquidity can spark a sustained challenge of structural resistance.
