- HBAR fell 4.75% to $0.2290 as weekly chop persisted, while trading volume jumped 45%, signaling heightened participation today.
- Derivatives skew bearish: liquidation clusters near $0.2249 and $0.2324, with $2.96M shorts versus $832K longs dominating directional positioning.
Hedera’s HBAR ended 29 August under pressure. HBAR fell 4.75% to $0.2290 after a week of sideways trade. Volume rose 45%, showing more participation even as broader crypto weakened. Bitcoin and Ethereum also slipped over the last 24 hours, which set a cautious tone across majors and mid-caps.
Derivative dashboards point to a bearish tilt. CoinGlass data shows liquidation clusters near $0.2249 and $0.2324.
At those bands, traders held roughly $2.96 million in shorts versus $832,000 in longs, an imbalance that favors downside if momentum persists. In plain terms, more traders are positioned for a fall than a rise.
Chart structure keeps the spotlight on support
On the daily timeframe, HBAR has sketched a descending triangle while retesting the $0.226 level multiple times. If price prints a daily close below $0.223, the pattern implies scope for a move toward the $0.18 area, roughly a 20% slide.
Yet the Supertrend indicator remains green and sits beneath price, and the Relative Strength Index at 43.8 signals neither overbought nor oversold conditions. The setup reads like a coiled spring, but direction still depends on the next decisive close.
Flows add a counterweight. Roughly $3.18 million in HBAR left exchanges, a behavior often linked to storage in private wallets. Outflows reduce readily sellable supply and can soften downside. Whether that cushion offsets the larger short positioning is uncertain; it’s a modest shield against a heavier headwind.
From here, traders will watch two lines. First, $0.226 – $0.223 must hold to avoid triggering pattern targets. Second, a push back above $0.2324 would challenge nearby short positioning and could temper bearish momentum. Until one of those thresholds gives way, HBAR sits in a narrow corridor where participation is rising but conviction is split.
Hedera (HBAR) Price – August 28, 2025
Hedera (HBAR) is trading at $0.2227 USD, reflecting a -1.96% decline in the last 24 hours and a -10.6% decrease over the past 7 days. With a market capitalization of $9.45 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of $256.8 million, HBAR ranks #24 globally.
The circulating supply is 42.39 billion tokens, out of a fixed maximum supply of 50 billion. Despite being 60.8% below its all-time high of $0.5692, HBAR is still up over 2,150% from its historical low of $0.0098 USD.
The latest updates today indicate that the stablecoin market cap on Hedera has dropped by over 30%, now standing at $70.02 million, reflecting reduced liquidity and user engagement in stablecoin-related activity.
Additionally, HBAR recently retested a key support level near $0.24, highlighting investor caution amid short-term volatility. ETHNews analysts suggest that this decline could either precede a rebound or deepen into a prolonged correction if bearish momentum persists.
From a blockchain perspective, Hedera Hashgraph continues to operate under its asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (aBFT) consensus, offering fast finality and enterprise-grade performance.
The network remains supported by its Governing Council, which includes corporations such as Google, IBM, Nomura, and Boeing, providing institutional credibility. Hedera’s Consensus Service (HCS) is increasingly used for supply chain tracking, event logging, and enterprise applications requiring immutable data ordering.
On the financial side, trading volumes for HBAR remain concentrated on Binance, HTX, and Coinbase, ensuring liquidity for both retail and institutional investors. However, the decline in stablecoin liquidity may weigh on Hedera’s DeFi activity in the short term.
