The altcoin market has continued its rally this week, with major caps leading the way. SOL, HYPE, and AAVE are all up over +6% in the past 24 hours, while many others are up between +1% and +3%. However, Hedera appears to be lagging, with HBAR up just 0.2% on the day, trading at around $0.13.
HBAR is down -28% over the past 30 days, struggling to break out of its longstanding downtrend. It is down -77% from its all-time high of $0.56, reached in September 2021. The Hedera community is loyal, but even their commitment is being tested by the price action in 2025.
Bears in Control of the HBAR Price as Downtrend Dominates the Hedera Chart
With the HBAR price currently at $0.13 and down over 10% since December, a strong resistance range between $0.135 and $0.14 has formed, limiting any potential breakout as the broader altcoin market continues to rally.
A chart from ‘More Crypto Online‘ on X supports this, highlighting a pocket of resistance on the 4-hour chart. The crypto analyst captions the chart with the following: “$HBAR: Micro resistance at $0.135-$0.144 is still undefeated. Until that flips, downside momentum owns the chart.”
RSI on the HBAR chart is sitting at 39.05, signalling a neutral stance, leaning toward sell. EMAs and SMAs with periods of 10 to 50 days are all flashing sell signals. It is worrying reading for the Hedera community as there seems to be no respite for the bleeding HBAR price.
Hedera ETFs aren’t setting the world alight, but holdings of the Canary HBAR ETF have grown to 465M Hedera tokens, worth $60M at the token’s current price. On December 9, inflows turned green with $762,250 in positive flows.

While the HBAR price continues to struggle, the Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) ICO is performing strongly, having just secured $29.3M in presale funding, making it one of the largest crypto presales in 2025.

With 2026 right around the corner, Bitcoin Hyper is grinding toward that $30M funding target as whales continue to pour big stacks into the HYPER presale.
Bitcoin Hyper is one of the most anticipated token launches for 2026, as a Layer-2 protocol built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) that brings native DeFi, GameFi, NFTs, and more to Bitcoin’s core layer.
Despite its utility, HYPER is a memecoin in both its branding and its community-building, making it one of the best hybrid crypto plays heading into 2026.
Although HYPER is branded as a meme coin, which makes it a strong contender for one of the best memecoins to buy right now, the team behind it is dedicated to creating a comprehensive ecosystem of products for the Bitcoin mainnet. This ecosystem will include offerings such as DeFi, GameFi, and NFTs.
