HBAR's 12% Surge on Robinhood Listing Drives Breakout Above $0.264 Targeting $0.288

Hedera Hashgraph’s HBAR has demonstrated a decisive reversal in its bearish trend following a surge in trading volume and a breakout above critical technical levels. On July 26, 2025, the token rose above $0.264, hitting $0.271, marking a pivotal shift from a descending channel to a bullish trajectory. This move was supported by strong buying pressure, particularly after HBAR held key support near $0.250, which now serves as a foundational base for further upward momentum. The breakout was confirmed by a large green candle on the hourly chart, accompanied by elevated volume, signaling institutional and retail participation [2].

Technical indicators reinforced the optimism. The stochastic oscillator showed a bullish crossover from oversold levels, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) formed a divergence and crossed above 60, indicating strengthening buyer control. These signals, coupled with the price holding above the 200 EMA, suggest a near-term bias toward higher highs. The 1-hour chart revealed a five-wave corrective structure ending with a sharp selloff, which was rejected at the $0.245 support level, validating the wedge breakout. Analysts noted that the retest of this level—now a key resistance—confirmed the shift in sentiment [2].

Volume profiles highlighted intense participation between $0.245 and $0.264, a historically active zone. This concentration of liquidity implies that further gains toward $0.271 and $0.288 are likely, as buyers continue to absorb supply in lighter volume areas. Traders are now monitoring these levels, with $0.288 being a horizontal resistance from prior peaks. A sustained move above $0.271 would likely accelerate the price toward this target, assuming volume remains robust. However, a breakdown below $0.250 could invalidate the bullish setup and trigger a consolidation phase [2].

The surge in HBAR’s price was further amplified by its recent listing on Robinhood, which spurred a 12% gain to $0.2657 on the same day, outpacing other top-20 cryptocurrencies in daily percentage gains [1]. While this listing expanded accessibility and liquidity, the primary catalyst for the breakout appears to be technical in nature. Binance analysts emphasized that the $0.2800 threshold is a critical next level, with bulls needing to defend this area to maintain upward momentum.

Despite the positive signals, caution is advised. A failure to hold above $0.26 could see HBAR retest the $0.24 support zone, where prior accumulation may provide a safety net. Analysts also highlighted that while short-term momentum is bullish, broader on-chain metrics remain mixed, and macroeconomic factors—such as U.S. Federal Reserve policies—could influence risk appetite for speculative assets [1].

The current trajectory underscores HBAR’s potential to reclaim key resistance levels, with $0.288 as the primary focus. If buyers sustain control, the token could revisit this area, replicating the July 2025 volume spikes observed during prior bullish phases. For now, the confluence of volume, structure, and technical indicators paints a compelling case for continued upside, pending confirmation at critical thresholds.
