The crypto Hedera (HBAR) in 2024: the year of the comeback?

HBAR, the crypto of the Hedera project, in 2024 seemed like it could be the year of the comeback, but recently it has been showing not good signs.

The price of Hedera (HBAR) has experienced significant highs and lows throughout its presence in the crypto markets. After debuting in 2019, HBAR enjoyed a bull run in 2021, reaching highs of $0.57 before facing the bear market of 2021-2022. During this period, the price of HBAR crashed to lows of $0.04, almost erasing the gains from the previous bull run.

However, with the bull run of late 2023, the price of HBAR began to recover, reaching a high of $0.13 by March 2024. Despite this initial rebound, the price of HBAR returned to the lows of the bear market by the following months. Notably, the price of HBAR has repeatedly reached the threshold of $0.04 in 2020, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

After the electoral victory of Donald Trump, a new mini-bubble inflated the price of Hedera’s crypto again. From November 5 to December 7, the price of HBAR went from just over $0.04 to more than $0.36, once again showing a growth of nearly ten times in about a month. The concerning aspect is that in the following days it started to drop again, showing what seem to be the signs of a new mini-bubble. At this moment, the price of HBAR is below $0.27, with minimum peaks dangerously approaching $0.20. It remains to be seen whether the burst of the mini-bubble will continue or if it has the strength to react.

The dividing line for HBAR seems to be 0.30$; below that threshold, it appears unlikely that the HBAR bull run can restart. Indeed, if it should remain even below $0.27, there is the fear that the mini-bubble might simply continue to deflate. It's worth noting that the price trend of Hedera’s crypto tends to rise very quickly but falls a bit more slowly, so it might not bull or bear soon.

This could theoretically allow for a recovery if the entire crypto market picks up. Hedera is a speculative crypto that performs well only during bubbles or mini-bubbles and always seems to aim for $0.04 for the rest of the time. While this may not be the inevitable outcome of the latest mini-bubble's burst, caution is advised as bear markets typically follow major crypto bull runs. Additionally, most altcoins have been performing poorly in recent days, leaving Bitcoin to drive the crypto bull run further.
