Hedera's HBAR token dropped 4% between Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 due to institutional selling pressure, with over 110 million tokens traded during after-hours. Market makers tried to stabilize the price around $0.21-$0.22, but resistance at $0.22 capped any recovery. Daily trading volume fell 46% to $172.85 million, but Hedera maintains a market capitalization near $9.5 billion.
Hedera's native token, HBAR, experienced a significant drop of 4% between Aug. 31 and Sept. 1, driven by intense institutional selling pressure. During the after-hours trading session on Sept. 1, more than 110 million tokens were traded, indicating substantial coordinated divestment by institutional investors [1]. This selling pressure pushed the token's price to slip around 4%, with support levels identified near $0.21-$0.22 and resistance around $0.22-$0.23. Market makers attempted to stabilize the price within this range, but resistance at $0.22 hindered any meaningful recovery [1].The heaviest selling activity occurred during the final hour of Sept. 1 trading, with approximately 3.5 million tokens changing hands in a single minute. This rapid decline caused the token to breach multiple support levels and close the session near its lows. Despite the downturn, Hedera continues to position itself as a platform for enterprise adoption. Daily trading volume fell by 46% to $172.85 million, while the network maintained a market capitalization near $9.5 billion [1].
Hedera's HBAR token is the native utility token used for transaction gas fees on the network, which utilizes Hashgraph, an alternative distributed ledger technology to blockchain. The platform's features and capabilities, including its transaction speed and efficiency, make it suitable for applications requiring real-time, scalable, and affordable crypto-payments. Hedera's smart contract tools enable the development of decentralized applications, and its decentralized file storage services offer features like proof-of-deletion and controlled mutability [2].
