HBAR Drops 6% Amid Heavy Institutional Selling, Recovers Late in Session – 22/9/2025
HBAR declined 6% over a 23-hour period from September 21 to 22, sliding from $0.24 to $0.22 as institutional selling pushed trading volumes nearly three times above the daily average. Volatility spiked, with price swings widening to 9.7%, while strong resistance formed in the $0.235–$0.24 zone, triggering a wave of liquidations.
The heaviest selling occurred around midnight on September 22, when volume surged to 137.11 million. The token briefly touched $0.22, suggesting potential capitulation among short-term holders. However, a late-session rebound saw bulls drive HBAR from $0.2197 to $0.2222 on a 6.21 million volume surge, before trading volumes collapsed in the final three minutes, signaling a temporary pause in market activity.
The session underscores HBAR’s sensitivity to institutional flows and sentiment-driven moves. The combination of sharp declines, outsized volume spikes, and a late-stage recovery highlights how quickly bearish pressure can shift to opportunistic buying in the crypto market.
