Earlier in the year, HBAR rallied significantly from the $0.036 support level to hit a year-high of $0.093. However, a notable price dip followed in Q2 2023, one which wiped off 80% of its 2023 gains.

HBAR’s recovery has been slow and steady, but recent network developments for Hedera could speed up its price rebound.

A recent quarterly report on Hedera highlighted its growing ecosystem. The network witnessed a 288% jump in average daily active accounts and a 340% increase in the number of new accounts created on the chain. Both metrics signalled an inflow of new players to the Hedera ecosystem.

This has translated to a decent price rebound for HBAR, Hedera’s native token. A look at HBAR’s price action on the daily timeframe showed a 36% increase in July. This was followed by a pullback, but bulls rallied again to reach another near-term high of $0.064 on 9 August.

Using the Fib retracement tool, it highlighted the easing of the current retracement at the 38.2% Fib level ($0.057). This put HBAR in good stead to continue its upward movement.

Even though the RSI fell to 54, it maintained its position above neutral 50 to highlight decent bullish pressure. On the other hand, the OBV continued its upward trajectory while the CMF flipped positive with a reading of +0.10.

A continuation of the uptrend can see bulls target the $0.059 to $0.068 price levels. On the flip side, bears could take advantage of further retracements to target price levels between $0.049 to $0.054.
