HBAR Momentum Fades as BBTrend Holds Below Zer

Hedera's BBTrend has fallen to -8.88, turning negative at the end of May 16 after maintaining positive territory from May 11 to May 16.

Hedera (HBAR) price is coming under pressure, dropping 3.6% in the last 24 hours and 13.6% over the past week.

Its price is struggling below the $0.21 mark and hovers above $0.185, while market cap has dropped below $8 billion, indicating that sentiment toward the token is weakening.

Momentum indicators like RSI and BBTrend are displaying bearish signals, and a possible EMA death cross could add to downside risk.

HBAR is now at a key level where holding support could be crucial to prevent further losses.

BBTrend Has Turned Negative As Bollinger Band Trend

The indicator is currently at -8.88, having slid into negative territory at the end of May 16 after remaining positive from May 11 to May 16.

Since then, it has stayed consistently bearish, moving between -8 and -8.5 over the past day.

This sustained drop suggests that bullish momentum has fully faded, and HBAR is now experiencing stronger downside pressure.

BBTrend, or Bollinger Band Trend, measures the strength and direction of price movements by analyzing how far price deviates from its average relative to volatility.

Positive values usually indicate bullish momentum, while negative values suggest bearish conditions.

With HBAR’s BBTrend now deeply negative at -8.88, the token may be entering a weaker trend phase.

Unless the trend reverses soon, this level indicates that HBAR could continue to face difficulty breaking resistance or regaining upward momentum.

On the other hand, if BBTrend manages to rise and return to positive territory, it could signal a shift in momentum, which might lead to support at the $0.185 level.

If BBTrend shows signs of turning point and starts moving back into positive values, it could indicate that sellers are losing steam and buyers might have an opportunity to intervene.

This scenario could be crucial for HBAR to stall its decline and potentially attempt a recovery.

If BBTrend remains negative and continues dropping, it might point to worsening conditions for HBAR, which could see it slide further.

A breakdown below $0.185 and a move toward $0.169 could be on the cards if support fails to hold.

Relative Strength Index Fails To Hold Recovery

Hedera’s RSI is currently at 39, reflecting a loss of momentum after a brief recovery attempt. Two days ago, RSI hovered near the oversold threshold at 30.92, suggesting that HBAR had been subject to strong selling pressure.

It rebounded sharply to 53.54 yesterday, briefly entering neutral territory, but slipped back down to 39—highlighting that the bounce was short-lived.

This kind of volatility in the RSI often indicates a lack of conviction from buyers, with sellers still dominating the market in the short term.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator that ranges from 0 to 100, commonly used to assess whether an asset is overbought or oversold.

Readings above 70 suggest overbought conditions and potential for a pullback, while values below 30 imply the asset may be oversold and ripe for a bounce. At 39, Hedera’s RSI sits in bearish territory—above the oversold zone but still far from signaling strong buying pressure.

This mid-low level suggests caution among traders. Unless RSI can reclaim the 50 level and hold, HBAR may continue to face downside risk or stagnate without a clear trend reversal.

If sellers manage to push lower, the next support level to watch will be 20, which could indicate even stronger selling strength and potential for a steeper decline.

If buyers can intervene and push the price up, the next resistance is at 50, which might be a key level for traders to decide the fate of the current trend.

HBAR Is At A Make-Or-Break Moment

Hedera price is trading at a critical juncture as it approaches a support level at $0.185, and its EMA lines are signaling a potential death cross. In this event, short-term moving averages cross below long-term ones, often associated with the start of a deeper downtrend.

If this bearish crossover occurs and the $0.185 support fails to hold, HBAR could slide further to $0.169.

A breakdown below that would expose the token to additional losses, with $0.160 as the next major support. Should selling pressure accelerate, a move below $0.160 cannot be ruled out, especially in a sustained bearish environment.

On the flip side, if HBAR manages to hold above $0.185 and avoid triggering the death cross, it could
