On September 17, 2025, HBAR’s trading volume increased by 12.05%, with the token stabilizing near $0.236 on robust enterprise adoption, despite regulatory pressures.
Momentum signals conflict with strong bearish MACD and downside-biased oscillators, forecasting a likely move toward $0.2200 if $0.2357 support fails.

Trading volume surge as price steadies amid regulatory pressures

Hedera is stabilizing its token price near $0.236 despite ongoing regulatory challenges, showing resilience tied to enterprise adoption and continuing network development. Trading activity on September 17, 2025, saw a 12.05% increase in volume, reflecting heightened investor engagement in HBAR’s ecosystem. The token is holding firm near the $0.23 level, supported by a strong base between $0.229 and $0.232, which suggests a stable price environment.

Mixed momentum signals as downside persists in narrow trading range

Momentum signals are conflicting; MACD shows strong bearish momentum while ADX D1 remains weakly neutral, suggesting limited trending power. RSI and CCI on the daily timeframe are bullish, but Stoch RSI signals neutrality, and BBP is flat, reflecting a balanced battle between buyers and sellers intraday. Awesome Oscillator strongly supports the downside, which aligns with the 1.30% daily decline after a small opening gap and a move near today’s low of $0.23446 within a narrow range, indicating low volatility and persistent downside pressure since the open.

Limited upside probability as downside risk dominates short-term outlook

For the next five trading days, the forecasted range is $0.21995 to $0.22329. The probability of a price increase is very low (less than 20%), making a further downside move more likely. The baseline scenario is continued sideways action within the forecast corridor. A bullish scenario would require a breakout above $0.2403 resistance, while the bearish scenario unfolds if HBAR fails to hold support at $0.2357, potentially pushing toward $0.2200.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, views Hedera’s current stabilization near $0.236 as fundamentally resilient given sustained enterprise adoption and active network development, despite ongoing regulatory headwinds. He sees short-term downside risks with medium-term support, noting that increased trading volume and solid base between $0.229 and $0.232 reflect continued investor confidence. While momentum and technical signals are mixed, Karapetjanc maintains a constructive outlook thanks to the network’s growing fundamental utility. "If HBAR can maintain traction above $0.2357 and macro sentiment remains supportive, I believe there’s a realistic chance for an upside breakout once headwinds subside."

Previously it was noted that institutional interest in HBAR is increasing following Grayscale's proposed trust and a Canary HBAR ETF filing by DTCC, supporting its appeal despite a challenging regulatory climate. Last time we reported that price is expected to consolidate within a $0.2213 to $0.2246 range with a sideways or lower bias as breakout risks remain subdued.
