Hedera (HBAR) Faces Bearish Pressure as Market Confidence Weakens

Hedera (HBAR) faces bearish pressure as market confidence weakens. Hedera’s native token, HBAR, has come under renewed selling pressure as negative sentiment builds across the broader digital asset market. Adding to the downside risk, derivatives data points to cautious trader positioning, as funding dynamics and open interest suggest participants are unwilling to commit aggressively to upside exposure.

This hesitancy has allowed sellers to retain control, pushing price toward critical support zones where demand has yet to prove durable. Broader weakness across altcoins has further amplified this trend, leaving HBAR vulnerable to spillover risk from market-wide corrections. Without a strong fundamental catalyst or a decisive shift in market participation, Hedera’s price outlook remains fragile. Until confidence improves and technical levels are reclaimed, HBAR is likely to remain biased to the downside in the near term.

Key Hedera Levels To Watch – December 31

Resistance Levels: $0.13990, $0.19880, $0.23180
Support Levels: $0.09650, $0.07000, $0.04540

HBAR remains in a clear downtrend with price respecting the descending trendline and trading below key resistance. The recent pullback into the bearish order block is showing weak follow through, indicating selling pressure remains dominant. Crypto Signals may now aim for lower prices.

Momentum is still negative as reflected by the MACD staying below the signal line. A rejection from the $0.140 region could open the way for a continuation toward the $0.100 and lower support levels.
