cvj.ai reports that HBAR is holding the $0.10 level following a rally triggered by IDTrust appearing in the IBM Cloud Catalog. The token surged 27.32% on September 28 to $0.1310 before reversing sharply. By October 4, HBAR traded near $0.1015, up 9.20% over seven days.
Technical indicators show a positive MACD with an expanding histogram. HBAR is trading above four tracked moving averages, suggesting a constructive daily composite. However, the daily RSI(14) was reported at 78.6, indicating an overbought condition.
Open interest rose 47% to nearly 1.2 billion HBAR, creating a one-year high. This elevated open interest increases liquidation sensitivity near key technical levels. The nearest support cluster sits between $0.1010 and $0.1007. A move above resistance at $0.1048 could target the next pivot at $0.1094.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for HBAR, measured when this story was written up on 4 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows a buy ratio of 58.3% over the last hour, contrasting with a 49.7% ratio over four hours. This suggests short-term buying pressure is building relative to the slightly longer timeframe. The one-hour volume delta is positive at $46,259, indicating net inflows. In contrast, the four-hour volume delta is negative at -$7,167, showing net outflows over that period. The 24-hour buy ratio sits at 51.4%, with a positive volume delta of $222,532. This indicates that buying pressure has been dominant over the full day despite mixed signals in the shorter intervals.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.3% sits at the 50th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for HBAR, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
The current 24-hour buy ratio of 51.4% is slightly above the seven-day average of 49.6%. Volume over the last day is 0.14x the weekly average, indicating significantly lower activity. This is an unusual day for the coin, characterized by high buying intensity but low total volume. The seven-day volume delta was -$6,733,372, contrasting with the recent positive daily delta. Only two of the past seven days saw net buying, making today's flow distinct from the broader weekly trend.
