trendkia.com reports that Hedera (HBAR) has extended its upward momentum for a sixth consecutive session, approaching the critical $0.1000 benchmark. Perpetual futures open interest rose to approximately 1.8 billion HBAR on Tuesday, up from 1.7 billion HBAR the previous day and 1.4 billion HBAR last Wednesday. This steady increase in speculative capital suggests fresh inflows rather than simple short-covering, supporting the price appreciation.
Trading volume on Tuesday reached $301 million, a decline from the prior session's $360 million but significantly higher than the $138 million recorded last Wednesday. HBAR is currently trading around $0.0962, having reclaimed its primary Exponential Moving Averages and showing positive MACD readings with an expanding histogram. However, the Relative Strength Index has climbed to 78, indicating overbought conditions that may precede temporary consolidation or corrective dips.
Initial downside support is identified near the 200-day EMA at $0.0862, with secondary demand clusters around $0.0793 and the 50-day EMA at $0.0769. On a macro level, HBAR remains below its 50-week, 100-week, and 200-week EMAs at $0.1029, $0.1195, and $0.1244 respectively, maintaining a broader bearish bias on higher timeframes. Bitcoin is trading at $86,297, down 0.35 percent, while Ethereum holds above $2,700 and Ripple trades above $1.52.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for HBAR, measured when this story was written up on 22 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows HBAR trading at $0.09336 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 52.6%, contrasting with a 4-hour ratio of 46.8% and a 24-hour ratio of 49.9%. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$118,934, while the 4-hour delta is negative at -$358,494, and the 24-hour delta is slightly negative at -$19,651. This indicates that while short-term buying pressure is currently building, the broader 4-hour trend shows net selling. The buy ratio represents the proportion of buy volume relative to total volume, while the volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume. A positive delta signifies net buying pressure, whereas a negative delta indicates that sellers are dominating the flow. The 24-hour Cumulative Volume Delta closed at +$859,911, suggesting that despite recent negative deltas, net buying has accumulated over the full day.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.6% sits at the 71st percentile of the last 324 days, against a median of 49.3% - stronger buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for HBAR, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, HBAR experienced a 20.1% price increase with volume reaching 1.93 times its average. The 7-day average buy ratio was 52.2%, which is 2.3 percentage points higher than the current 24-hour reading of 49.9%. This represents an unusual day for the coin, as buying intensity has dipped below its weekly average despite the strong price performance. Total volume delta over the eight-day period was +$3,302,611, with net buying occurring on all seven days of the period. This sustained weekly buying contrasts with the mixed short-term signals seen in the latest hourly and 4-hour data.
