Analysts have pointed out that Hedera is testing the lower boundary of its multi-week descending channel, and this boundary has been an important support area for the asset so far.
HBAR Tests Descending Channel Support Zone
Analyst Jonathan Carter highlighted that the price is pressing into the descending channel on the three-day chart. The pattern could potentially support the price if the buying activity remains high at the current levels.
The analyst noted that the targets for the price rebound could be at the levels of $0.11, $0.14, $0.18, $0.23, $0.30, and $0.39. If the price falls below $0.06, it will invalidate the current pattern.

Additionally, another analyst, Crypto Coral, mentioned that there was high buying activity on the lower timeframes. He mentioned two consecutive 11.6% bullish impulse candles on the one-hour chart. He linked the move to high volume and the clean reaction from the short-term support levels.
