After briefly stabilizing near $0.1684 overnight, HBAR remained under pressure as each recovery attempt was met with renewed selling. The bearish tone dominated most of the session, keeping the token pinned near its lows and reinforcing the short-term downtrend.

A burst of volatility hit late in the day when HBAR surged from $0.1692 to $0.1708 within two minutes around 13:57, accompanied by a spike in volume to 5.4 million tokens. The quick rally hinted at a possible short-term breakout attempt but failed to gain traction beyond $0.1712, where sellers quickly reasserted control.

The rejection of that late move underscored ongoing tension between technical resilience and prevailing bearish momentum. Immediate support now sits at $0.1692–$0.1695, with a breakdown below that zone likely to retest overnight lows near $0.1684.
