HBAR price plunges under selling pressure: What should investors do?

Hedera (HBAR) price continues to decline sharply as selling pressure persists, changing the market structure. It remains trapped in a prolonged downtrend, making recovery efforts limited.

According to the latest data, selling forces are clearly dominant, continuously pushing HBAR toward key support zones amid waning confidence among short-term and leveraged traders.

Investor Selling Activity

Market sentiment towards HBAR is currently heavily negative. The (Money Flow Index – MFI) reflects ongoing selling pressure in recent sessions.

This index has fallen below the neutral threshold of 50.0 and is now in the negative zone, indicating outflows are outweighing inflows.

This development shows investors remain cautious and lack confidence in a short-term recovery.

Additionally, the MFI remaining at low levels reflects decreased market demand and reduced risk appetite. These conditions often signal an impending continuation of the price weakening trend, especially when momentum has not shifted back to accumulation.

If HBAR loses the critical support level at $0.114, approximately $1.07 million in long positions are at risk of liquidation, further increasing selling pressure.

If the price drops further, the impact will be more severe. Breaking below $0.112 could trigger over $2.71 million in long positions being liquidated. These forced liquidations will heighten market tension, push the downward momentum higher, and discourage new investors from entering long positions.

HBAR Price Remains in a Downtrend

For nearly two months, HBAR has been consistently moving within a clear downtrend. Currently, the token is trading around $0.117, just slightly above the support level of $0.114— which has served as a short-term barrier before deeper declines.

With the current downward momentum, the risk of losing this support remains high. If the price breaks below $0.114, a wave of liquidations is likely to occur as forecasted, potentially pushing HBAR toward the $0.109 zone, reinforcing the overall downtrend.

However, a recovery scenario is still possible. If buying momentum returns and selling pressure diminishes, HBAR could reverse and trend upward. A stable rally above $0.120 would help improve market sentiment. Especially, if the price surpasses $0.125, the bearish thesis will be invalidated, signaling new strength and the potential for a short-term trend reversal.
