HBAR Price Eyes 12% Bounce As Whale Buying Meets Channel Breakout Hopes
HBAR has slipped slightly in the past day but still shows gains over the month. With whales adding millions and a breakout pattern forming, the token could see a 12% bounce if resistance breaks.
Hedera (HBAR) has slipped nearly 1% in the past 24 hours, trading close to $0.225. Still, the token is holding a modest 3% gain over the past month, showing it has weathered September’s storm better than many peers. With “Uptober” underway, the HBAR price may be preparing for a short but sharp bounce.
A surge of around 12% could be on the cards as whales, momentum, and chart structure all align.
Whale Buying And Upcoming Crossover Signal Strength
HBAR whales holding over 10 million and 100 million HBAR tokens have stepped up their accumulation since late September. From September 25 to October 3, the number of large wallets holding over 10 million rose from 122.33 to 128.17, and the wallets holding over 100 million tokens surged from 30.76 to 38.46.
HBAR Whales In Action:
Hedera Watch
That equals at least 828 million HBAR added in just over a week — a minimum injection of $186.3 million at the current HBAR price. The actual figure could be significantly higher, as these addresses often exceed the threshold. This steady inflow signals that whales are preparing for an upward move.

Momentum on the 4-hour chart backs this idea. The 20-period EMA is closing in on the 100-period EMA, forming the conditions for a golden crossover. When the shorter EMA crosses above the longer one, it indicates a shift in buying pressure.
Within this timeframe, it suggests a short-term surge rather than a lasting HBAR trend reversal, but it lines up perfectly with whale activity.
HBAR’s Looming “Golden” Crossover:
TradingView
The exponential moving average (EMA) is a tool that tracks price trends by giving more weight to recent data.
Together, the heavy accumulation and the momentum crossover show that both capital and technicals are leaning toward a bounce.
HBAR Price Targets 12% Bounce
HBAR is trading within an ascending channel that outlines the potential path forward. The immediate resistance zone sits between $0.230 and $0.237.
A breakout above this level could trigger a move toward $0.257, marking a 12% surge from the current HBAR price.
Key HBAR price levels beyond $0.237 include $0.245 and $0.252, which could act as checkpoints for buyers. On the downside, support rests near $0.222 and $0.219, protecting against pullbacks if the move stalls.
HBAR Price Analysis:
TradingView
For now, the HBAR price setup suggests Uptober may deliver not a full rally, but a defined bounce.
With whales adding nearly a billion tokens worth over $186 million, and a golden crossover close to forming, the HBAR price looks set for a short-term surge if $0.230 breaks.

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
