The 2-hour chart showed that Hedera has traded within a range (orange) that extended from $0.049-$0.052. At the time of writing, HBAR saw a bounce from the range lows, but its momentum and market structure were bearish.

The mid-range resistance at $0.0506 was a target for lower timeframe traders looking to long this bounce.

The CMF showed that there was no significant capital inflow to the Hedera market in the past few days-quite the opposite. The indicator has been below -0.05 for the majority of the past 48 hours, signaling strong sell pressure.

The $0.054-$0.057 region (red box) to the north was a bearish order block on the 12-hour chart. It has been in play since 29 August, and the mid-September rally faced a firm rejection from this resistance zone.

The spot CVD saw a hopeful upward move that suggested buyers were regaining strength in the spot markets. Yet the OI continued to lie dormant to show a lack of conviction.

Buying HBAR at the range lows could be risky due to these reasons, but it was also possible that it would climb toward the $0.052 level again.
