From a relatively long-term perspective, HBAR has been in a consistent uptrend after jumping above its 200-day EMA (green) in October 2023. The altcoin continued to record higher lows and highs, growing over 164% over the next five months. .
However, after losing the crucial resistance level (and subsequently support) at $0.09 on the daily chart, HBAR registered a steep downtrend. As a result, it fell by more than 23% last month.
After witnessing an increasingly bearish edge, the price dropped below the crucial 200-day EMA and formed a descending channel during this downtrend.
The recent revival in buying from the $0.06 support level helped the buyers break the streak of red candles. Bulls sparked a 20% rally in four days, but the 50-day EMA (yellow) remains a strong hurdle.
Nevertheless, this resulted in a break in the descending channels, which could set the stage for buyers to spark a near-term rally.
Should the bears retest the $0.06 level, buyers are likely to trigger an uptrend and aim to rise above the short-term EMAs. In this case, buyers would want to test the $0.088 level near the 200-day EMA.
A decline below the $0.06 support could significantly delay recovery efforts in the short term. Here, sellers would aim to pull the price towards the $0.05 level before a likely reversal would occur.
Interestingly, the Awesome Oscillator marked two consecutive higher peaks, with another peak trying to find a spot above the ‘0’ level. A sustained uptrend on this indicator could confirm bullish twin peaks, reaffirming our bullish bias.
However, at the time of writing, the RSI had fallen below the 50 level and a bullish edge had yet to be confirmed. A hidden bearish divergence on this indicator will reveal a bearish edge.
