Hedera (HBAR) is trading below $0.101 at the time of writing on Wednesday, after failing to break through the key resistance zone at the end of last week. Derivatives market data indicate that HBAR’s recovery potential remains quite fragile: open interest (OI) continues to decline, and the funding rate remains negative, reflecting cautious investor sentiment. In this context, current technical signals do not support a clear bullish scenario for Hedera.
Hedera Derivatives Data Shows Downtrend
Hedera futures open interest (OI) dropped to $104.58 million on Wednesday, extending the weakening trend that began in early January. Notably, this indicator is approaching the February 6 low of $88.89 million. The prolonged decline in OI suggests decreasing participation from investors and indicates a less optimistic short-term price outlook.

The indicator turned negative on Monday and fell sharply to -0.011% on Tuesday. Negative funding rates mean short positions pay fees to long positions, emphasizing the prevailing bearish market sentiment toward HBAR.

Hedera’s price faced strong selling pressure around the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $0.105 on Saturday, before slightly retracing in the following session. Notably, the 50-day EMA nearly coincides with the upper trendline of a descending wedge pattern — formed by connecting the peaks and troughs since late June — reinforcing this zone as a significant resistance area. As of Wednesday, HBAR is trading around $0.010.
In a continued correction scenario, HBAR’s price is likely to retreat toward the weekly support zone at $0.090. If selling pressure is strong enough to close below this level, the decline could extend to the next support at $0.072 — the low established on October 10.

Regarding momentum, the relative strength index (RSI) on the daily timeframe is currently around 51 and trending downward toward the neutral 50 level, indicating that buying power is gradually waning. For a sustained downtrend, RSI would need to break below this neutral threshold. On the positive side, the MACD indicator still shows a bullish crossover triggered on February 10, suggesting that the upward trend has not been entirely invalidated.
Conversely, if HBAR regains momentum and successfully closes above the 50-day EMA at $0.105, the price could continue upward to test the next weekly resistance zone around $0.125.
