Hedera Hashgraph’s native token, HBAR, has trended sideways in the past four days, diverging from the broader crypto market’s recent gains.
While the overall market surged in the past 24 hours, HBAR has bucked the trend, recording a 2% decline. This highlights growing bearish sentiment, as the token risks breaking below its current narrow trading range.
HBAR Faces Mounting Downside Risk
The steady capital outflow from HBAR’s spot market has weighed heavily on its price action. According to Coinglass, HBAR’s spot outflows have totaled $6.42 million over the past three days, showing the growing bearish bias against the altcoin.

These outflows occur when the holders of an asset remove their capital from its spot markets, typically by selling their coins and moving funds elsewhere. It signals weakening demand for the asset and is a trend known to drive lower asset prices.
The daily outflows from HBAR’s spot markets over the past three days confirm the growing uncertainty surrounding the token, which has caused its price to trend sideways. This pattern also reflects a gradual shift in market sentiment, as traders increasingly look to exit their positions.
Furthermore, the negative readings from HBAR’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) on the daily chart confirm its struggle to attract buying interest. As of this writing, the momentum indicator is at -0.07 and continues to trend downward.
The CMF measures an asset’s buying and selling pressure over a specified period by analyzing price and volume data. It helps identify whether money is flowing into or out of the asset.
When the CMF is positive, buying pressure is strong, with more money flowing into the asset. Conversely, when its value is negative, selling pressure dominates.
For HBAR, its negative CMF means more money is flowing out of the asset as traders exit their positions. This worsens the downward pressure on its price and could trigger a break below the lower line of its current range.
Bears Eye $0.2591 Support and Lower
At press time, HBAR trades at $0.2663, holding below the upper line of the horizontal channel, which forms resistance at $0.2667.
With growing sell-side pressure, HBAR risks falling toward the $0.2591 support floor.
However, if the bulls regain control, they could drive the token’s value past the resistance wall and toward $0.2905.
