Hedera Price Surges 46% Weekly Amid Technical Breakout Institutional Adoption

Hedera (HBAR) has recently shown significant technical progress, with its price breaking through a long-established falling wedge formation on the weekly chart. This breakout, confirmed by several analysts, suggests a strong bullish run for the top altcoin. According to analyst Steph Is Crypto, the trend had been forming over several months with contracting price action within sloping falling trendlines. Historically, this pattern has resolved with sharp upward moves when there is an increase in volume. The breakout signaled a reversal of the broader downtrend, with Steph predicting a possible move towards the $3.50 mark, with interim resistance between $0.40 and $0.70.

Erica Hazel also confirmed the Hedera price breakout on the daily chart, where a long-term descending trendline was breached. Her chart presented several rejections at the identical resistance level during the first half of 2025. The decisive trend shift above this trendline and solid support at $0.14 indicated a strong breakout. The MACD oscillator on the analyst chart gave a bullish cross across the breakout indicator, adding technical weight to the move. The blue area in her projection was broad enough and marked the targets as high as $0.40. Trading volume also surged as the price exited the falling structure, indicating that traders are no longer in the mood for hesitation. If HBAR price consolidates above $0.25, the move toward $0.40 could unfold quickly.

In addition to the technical breakout, major news from the traditional finance sector is supporting HBAR upside. Analyst Mark Chadwick highlighted a deal involving Lloyds Bank and Aberdeen Asset Management. The two institutions revealed that the Aberdeen money market fund is now tokenized through Archax using the Hedera blockchain. This pilot on real-world asset (RWA) includes more than 650 billion in institutional assets. The collaboration was a sign that there was more interest in the provision of regulated assets using Hedera as an infrastructure. Importantly, the move featured two financial giants transferring real capital into tokenized forms. As a result, HBAR network validation from major banks could drive a long-term revaluation. This also increased long-term demand for HBAR utility, especially if similar institutions follow suit.

Institutional adoption has brought a new essential dimension to the Hedera price breakout. As technical and fundamental evidence points in the same direction, the next several weeks are crucial for the Hedera price. Analyst Iko explained that the HBAR price has broken out of a significant band of resistance. In his chart, Hedera price was just a little bit lower than the February high, and now it is targeted at 0.70. However, Iko claimed that to validate this breakout as a long-run trend, the volume had to be higher. HBAR price currently trades near $0.23 after a weekly surge of over 46%. In his projection, he indicated a zig-zag pattern to $0.40, followed by $0.70. In case Hedera confirms the trend with increased volume, the next resistance is $0.29, and then $0.36. Above $0.40, there is little resistance until $0.70. Traders track these levels for breakout retests or continuation setups.
