HBAR price faces overbought risks
Hedera’s HBAR prices have surged recently, leading to many optimistic market predictions. However, the current overbought condition suggests that the price might drop or stabilize before surpassing its 2021 high of $0.5701.
An overbought condition means the price has risen significantly and may exceed its true value. This often shows that there has been strong buying interest for a while, which could lead to a price correction or pullback.
Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) is currently trading at $0.351, down 2.64% after a sharp increase in the last four hours. The price has risen well above key moving averages, with the 50-day average at $0.11 and the 100-day average at $0.08, indicating strong upward momentum.

However, it trades above the upper Bollinger Band, a sign of overbought conditions. This suggests that, despite the strong trend, the current Hedera price might not hold in the short term without a pullback or a period of stability.
Moreover, while the 54% increase in 24-hour trading volume supports this breakout, it also suggests a potential exhaustion phase. With the next resistance level around $0.40, HBAR may face difficulties keeping its current pace.
A price correction toward the $0.30–$0.32 range, close to previous resistance levels, would align with the past price behavior and allow consolidation before moving higher again.
Long-term is bullish for Hedera (HBAR)
The short-term outlook for HBAR prices appears bearish, but the mid-to-long-term predictions are bullish due to strong technicals and fundamentals. Analysts believe that in the mid-term, the price of Hedera could reach a new high of $0.576.
Some analysts are even more optimistic, predicting that Hedera Hashgraph could rise to $5 in this bull cycle.
Shawn, a well-known financial analyst, recently stated that his “conservative” target for HBAR this cycle is $1.50, but a new high between $4 and $5 is also possible.

While the $5 peak seems overly optimistic, it could be achievable as it would mean a rise of just about 1,300% from its current level.
Recall that HBAR increased significantly from roughly $0.02 in late 2019 to a peak of $0.57 in November 2021, marking a surge of around 2,750% during the last bull market. The next one to two years could be very positive for the Hedera cryptocurrency.
