Price slips into major demand zone as volume thins, structural breaks deepen and recovery attempts fail
Hedera’s HBAR token is flashing new liquidity concerns after sliding to $0.1373, breaking below a key support region that previously acted as a springboard for bullish reversals. The latest move places the asset directly inside a high-timeframe demand zone, where buyers have historically intervened — but current market conditions suggest confidence is weakening.
The daily chart reflects a clear deterioration in structure. A series of consecutive Breaks of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (ChoCH) signals show sellers firmly in control throughout November. HBAR’s failure to reclaim mid-range liquidity zones between $0.17 and $0.19 underscores its declining momentum.
Liquidity Stress Intensifies
BitXJournal Market analysts say the latest breakdown was accompanied by collapsing volume and a late-session liquidity halt, indicating an increasingly fragile order book.
“When price enters a demand block with this level of volume compression, it tells you liquidity providers are stepping back,” said BitXJournal digital asset market strategist. “HBAR needs a decisive reaction here — otherwise the next sweep could target deeper inefficiency zones closer to $0.12.”
The chart also reveals a clear distribution phase around the $0.26–$0.30 region earlier this quarter, followed by consistent lower highs — a textbook signal of exhausted buying pressure. The rejection from this area created a structurally weak high, which has now turned into a strong magnet for future liquidity hunts.
Support Zone Now Under Pressure
The current gray demand zone between roughly $0.132 and $0.142 is the last major block before the market opens the door to a retest of historical lows. This zone held earlier in July, sparking a sharp upside rally, but conditions today are notably different.
“The broader market is in a risk-off mode, and assets like HBAR — which rely heavily on liquidity depth — are the first to show cracks,” BitXJournal analyst noted.
What Comes Next?
If HBAR fails to defend the current region, technical models suggest a slide toward untested imbalances left from Q1. Only a strong reclaim above $0.155 would invalidate the immediate bearish structure and signal that buyers are regaining control.
For now, the chart paints a picture of an asset fighting to maintain structural integrity amid tightening liquidity conditions — and the next few sessions could determine whether HBAR stabilizes or accelerates its decline.
