Hedera Price Prediction: HBAR Builds Toward 0.07156

Hedera has been quietly building momentum, and network activity data released this week is giving HBAR holders another reason to pay attention. 

On the chart, price is now testing a trendline that has held firm since mid-August, and the reaction here matters for anyone tracking this Hedera price prediction. 

This is not financial advice, and the levels discussed below are drawn from a 1-hour HBAR/USDT perpetual chart on Binance, so they reflect a short-term, intraday to multi-day view rather than a long-term forecast.

Methodology and Data Sources for This Hedera Price Prediction

This Hedera price forecast is built from a 1-hour HBAR/USDT perpetual chart on Binance, viewed through TradingView. 

The ascending trendline and the higher-high retest referenced below are marked directly on that chart. 

Price, volume, open interest, and liquidation figures are sourced separately from CoinGlass and are cited individually below with their own timestamps. 

The forecast horizon here is short-term, generally the next few hours to a few trading days, and should be rechecked if the price closes meaningfully beyond the range discussed.

Hedera Network Activity Hits Fresh Highs

A fresh data point adds a fundamental tailwind to this HBAR technical analysis.

Hedera network transactions are now running at all-time highs, averaging 291,200 per day over the past two weeks and hitting a record. 

346,943 on August 12. Rising on-chain transaction counts typically reflect growing real-world usage of the network, and this kind of activity spike often gets cited by holders as a supporting factor alongside price strength.

Hedera Liquidation Data Today

Liquidation activity leans heavily one-sided across every timeframe.

Over the past hour, total liquidations were light at $207.82, entirely on the short side with $0 in long-side liquidations. 

Over four hours, short-side liquidations led at $6.98K out of $7.57K total, with only $594.93 coming from longs. 

The 12-hour window shows the same pattern, $10.87K in short-side liquidations against $620.87 on the long side, out of $11.49K total. 

Zooming out to 24 hours, short-side liquidations remain dominant at $13.23K against just $1.02K in long-side liquidations, out of a total $14.25K. 

This consistent short-side liquidation pressure across every window lines up with the aggressive upward move on the chart, suggesting short sellers have repeatedly been caught offside as HBAR pushed higher.

HBAR Price Right Now and Key Levels to Watch

• CMP: $0.06792 (Binance HBAR/USDT perpetual, 1h chart)

• 24h Change: +3.48% (per CoinGlass)

• Trendline support zone: 0.06709

• Upside trigger levels: 0.07003, then 0.07156

• Downside confirmation: aggressive close below 0.06514

• Next support if downside confirms: 0.06424

• Data captured: August 19, 2026, approximately 10:56 AM IST (5:26 AM UTC)

A quick risk note before going further: HBAR's leveraged futures market is comparatively thin next to its spot volume, which can make moves around trendline levels sharper than usual, so these levels should be treated as reference points rather than guarantees.

HBAR Price Prediction: 1-Hour Chart Analysis

HBAR is currently testing support at an ascending trendline on the 1-hour chart, and how it behaves here will likely set the tone for the next move.

On the 1-hour HBAR/USDT perpetual chart, price has been respecting an ascending trendline since mid-August. 

The first retest of this trendline produced a new higher high alongside an aggressive upward move, a combination that points to strong buying interest defending the line rather than a weak, low-conviction bounce.

The chart's momentum indicator is currently reading near 76.60, firmly in elevated territory, reflecting the strength of the recent push higher and supporting the idea that buyers remain in control for now.

If price takes support from the trendline and sustains above 0.06709, the setup favors continuation, with 0.07003 as the first resistance and 0.07156 as the next target on a stronger move. 

On the other hand, an aggressive break that closes below 0.06514 would shift the near-term bias, opening the door toward 0.06424 as the next support.

HBAR Technical Outlook Snapshot

HBAR Support and Resistance Levels to Watch

HBAR Risk-Reward Table

Invalidation Level: The bullish structure is invalidated on an aggressive confirmed close below 0.06514, which would shift the near-term bias to bearish and put 0.06424 in focus.

What Would Change This Hedera Price Prediction?

A sustained hold above 0.06709 followed by a push through 0.07003 would strengthen the bullish case and put 0.07156 back on the table, especially if rising network transaction counts continue alongside it. 

Conversely, a sharp break below 0.06514 with rising short-term long-side liquidations would add weight to a bearish resolution.

How Bitcoin Sentiment Could Move HBAR

HBAR tends to track broader crypto risk sentiment, with Bitcoin often setting the overall tone for altcoin appetite. 

A stable or strengthening Bitcoin tends to support continuation setups like the current HBAR trendline hold, while renewed Bitcoin weakness or a broader risk-off shift could pressure HBAR even before its own key levels are tested.

When This Hedera Price Prediction Gets Revisited

This setup will be revisited if Price closes decisively above 0.07003 or below 0.06514 within the next 24 hours, since either close would confirm the next directional phase. 

Absent a confirmed close in either direction, the trendline support level remains the one to watch.
