Following this news, HBAR price broke above $0.17, positioning for its highest daily close since June 12. The RSI reading of 62.04 signals potential overheating, warranting caution as the price tests key resistance at $0.18.
HBAR Technical Analysis: Double-Bottom Pattern Eyes $0.28 Target
The HBAR daily price chart shows a classic double-bottom reversal pattern, with lows at $0.13 in mid-April and late June. This bullish setup hints at a 60% breakout if confirmed with a close above the neckline resistance near $0.22.
HBAR Price Prediction | Source: TradingView
If bulls manage a decisive close above $0.18, the technical projection from the double-bottom pattern sets the next major target at $0.28, coinciding with the previous rejection in March.
However, failure to break $0.18 could result in consolidation back to the $0.15 level, with strong support from both the EMA and Bollinger mid-band.
