Hedera’s price made a sudden move on Monday after months of weak performance. HBAR climbed more than 30% and briefly reached $0.13 before giving back part of the advance. The move brings an old question back into focus: Has Hedera finally left its long decline behind, or will $0.13 stop the rally?
One analyst believes the jump could be the start of something bigger. The next few days should help show whether buyers can turn that view into a lasting move.
HBAR Erases Months of Weakness in Just a Few Days
HBAR reached a high near $0.13 on Monday, September 28, before closing around $0.12. That brought Hedera’s price back toward levels last reached in January 2026, after months of declines and brief recoveries that failed to last.
Hedera traded near $0.40 in January 2025, then spent much of the following period moving lower. The decline continued into 2026 before the price began trading in a tighter range. Monday’s jump covered ground that had taken months to lose.

The main price levels are now clear:
$0.13 is the immediate resistance. HBAR reached that level on Monday but could not hold above it.
Around $0.12 marks Monday’s closing area. Holding near that price would preserve much of the recent advance.
A return to the previous trading range would weaken the breakout case. Buyers would then have another climb ahead of them.
That leaves HBAR in an interesting position. The rally was large enough to change the short term picture, but the first test of $0.13 ended with a pullback.
Why Credible Crypto Thinks Hedera’s Bigger Move Is Only Starting
Credible Crypto sees the recent jump as a possible early stage of a larger move. The analyst pointed to the HBAR/BTC pair, which measures Hedera’s performance against Bitcoin, and said a few days of strength had erased roughly 6 months of downward or sideways movement on that chart.
The analyst’s argument centers on the speed of the recovery. A long stretch of slow trading can end with a much faster move in the opposite direction. Credible Crypto believes HBAR may now be entering that faster phase after months of weak price action.
That view makes the rally worth watching, although the dollar chart still has its own obstacle. HBAR can outperform Bitcoin and still struggle to break above $0.13. Buyers need strength on both charts to make the case more convincing.
Hedera’s Long Accumulation Phase Could Be Paying Off
Hedera’s path from its January 2025 high was hardly a straight decline. Brief rallies interrupted the move, but none restored the earlier price level. The tighter trading that followed in 2026 gave buyers and sellers a narrower range to work through.
Monday’s rally may be the first clear sign that this period is ending. That possibility becomes stronger if HBAR keeps much of its advance and makes another attempt at $0.13. A quick return into the old range would point to more work ahead.
Interest in Hedera’s wider ecosystem could also play a part in market expectations. HBAR pays fees for activity on the Hedera network, which gives actual application use a connection to the token.
Claims about IBM and NVIDIA developments have circulated around the rally, though their role in Monday’s price move remains unclear. The price action gives us the firmer point to examine: HBAR rose quickly, reached $0.13, and then met resistance.
HBAR/BTC Chart Points to a Larger Expansion Move
The HBAR/BTC chart adds another reason this rally stands out. A token can rise in dollar terms when much of the crypto market is climbing. Strength against Bitcoin shows that HBAR has also performed better than the market’s largest asset.
@CredibleCrypto / X
Credible Crypto says the pair recovered about 6 months of weak or sideways price action in only a few days. If that relative strength continues, it could help HBAR make another attempt at its dollar resistance.
The 2 charts answer different questions:
HBAR/USD shows whether Hedera can clear $0.13. That is the nearby barrier following Monday’s pullback.
HBAR/BTC shows whether Hedera continues to outperform Bitcoin. Sustained strength there would support the analyst’s expansion view.
A strong reading on both would give bulls more to work with than Monday’s price jump alone. Weakness on either chart would make the next move harder to judge.

What Hedera Bulls Need to See Next
The immediate question is whether Hedera can turn $0.13 from resistance into a level that buyers can hold. Monday’s high brought HBAR to that area, but the close near $0.12 shows that the first attempt did not stick.
A renewed move above $0.13, followed by steady trading beyond it, would support Credible Crypto’s view that a larger advance has begun. Continued HBAR/BTC strength would add to that case. If $0.13 keeps rejecting the price, Hedera could spend more time below it despite Monday’s impressive rally.
