- HBAR surged 100% before retracing
- 0.382 Fibonacci level at $0.086 acted as resistance
- $0.26 call option suggests bullish sentiment persists
- Market cap remains above $3.8B
Hedera's native token HBAR experienced a significant price increase of 100% before entering a retracement phase. The rally was significant enough to attract attention from traders and technical analysts.
The retracement occurred after the price reached the 0.382 Fibonacci confluence level, which often acts as a point of resistance or support. This level, at approximately $0.086, has historically been a key point for price action in crypto markets.
Despite the retracement, the emergence of a $0.26 call option suggests that some traders remain bullish on HBAR's prospects. This option indicates a belief that the price could rise further in the future.
The retracement comes amidst a generally flat market, with the total crypto market cap holding steady at $2.8 trillion. 
Bitcoin's slight 24-hour gain of 0.37% and a Fear & Greed index of 53 suggest a neutral market sentiment.
Hedera's market cap remains above $3.8 billion, with HBAR currently trading at $0.086227, representing a 2.41% increase over the past 24 hours but a 6.41% decrease over the past week.
Since this brief published about 2 days ago, Hedera (HBAR) has moved from ₹8.20$0.0862 to ₹8.21$0.0864 — +0.16%.

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 HBAR ≈ ₹8.98 (about $0.0864), up 2.8% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.4% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
