The June lows of $0.0872: Can bulls overcome it?

On the 120-hour timeframe chart, HBAR was bullish, with an RSI reading of 72. In addition, the OBV (On Balance Volume) showed a sharp uptick, denoting increased trading volumes and buying pressure at the time of writing. 

The strong bullish momentum has pushed HBAR to enter the overbought zone – a ripe condition for a potential reversal. As such, the token could face price rejection around the $0.0872 zone if short traders offload their holdings to lock in profits. 

A drop could follow the selling pressure, pushing HBAR to $0.0829 or $0.0781. These levels can be used as short-selling targets. 

However, a break above $0.0930 would invalidate the above bearish bias. Such an extra upswing could set HBAR to target the June highs of $0.0980.

In addition, the demand remained steady by the time of writing. However, the token’s weighted sentiment was negative despite the improved development activity and price surge. The bearish sentiment could set the market for short-sellers and inflict a price reversal. 

Nevertheless, HBAR’s uptrend could continue if BTC reclaims the $22k zone. Thus, bears should track the king coin’s price actions.
