As uncertainty dominated the digital assets landscape in the past week, Hedera demand plummeted significantly.
The $17M investor pullback has raised eyebrows about HBAR’s price action in the coming times.
The impending selling pressure threatens the key support zone at $0.20.
Losing this foothold might trigger a dip towards $0.17 – a nearly 25% dip from current prices of $0.2241.

HBAR price outlook: what’s next
The alt trades at $0.2241 with a modest 2.10% gain in the past day.
HBAR’s 24-hour gains reflect the broad market rallies, which saw Bitcoin surpassing $98K.

Digital assets trade in green today as Bitcoin holds above $98K.
The global crypto market capitalization increased by nearly 2% in the past 24 hours to $3.26 trillion (Coinmarketcap data).

Moreover, the market exhibits a lucrative long-term trajectory.
While the market flashes rebound signals, CryptoQaunt CEO believes an “alt season has begun.”
Alt season has begun.
No direct BTC-to-alt rotation, but stablecoin holders are favoring alts. Alt volume is 2.7x BTC. BTC Dominance no longer defines alt season—trading volume does.
It’s a very selective alt season tho. DYOR.
An altcoin season is a cycle where top alts outperform Bitcoin with significant margins.
