Hedera flashes bullish pattern, key metric attempts HBAR rebound
Hedera Hashgraph is enjoying a rally, fueled by a perfect storm of bullish technical patterns and on-chain recovery signs — from a double bottom and golden cross to rebounding stablecoin supply and surging DeFi activity — setting the stage for a potential run toward January’s highs.
- HBAR price has formed a golden cross pattern on the daily chart.
- It has also formed a bullish pennant pattern whose two lines are nearing their convergence.
- Hedera Hashgraph’s stablecoin supply has started to rebound.
Hedera (HBAR) token rose to a high of $0.2650 on Sunday, Aug. 10, up by 16% from its lowest point this month and by 107% from the lowest level this year.
HBAR price chart points to more gains
The daily timeframe chart points to more gains in the near term. First, it has formed a double-bottom pattern at $0.1260 and a neckline at $0.2298. This pattern often leads to more gains over time. The breakout is normally confirmed when the price retests the neckline, which has already happened.
Hedera price has also formed a golden cross pattern as the 50-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages crossed each other on July 18. Like the double bottom, this pattern typically leads to more gains over time.
HBAR price has also formed a bullish pennant pattern, which has a vertical line and a symmetrical triangle. A breakout happens when the two lines of the triangle pattern near their confluence.
The bullish pennant has a height of about 58%. Measuring the same distance from the potential breakout point means that the coin will rise to $0.40, which coincides with the highest point in January this year.
