Hedera (HBAR) price has experienced a sharp decline, dropping more than 13% in the last 24 hours and 19% over the past week. This downturn has pushed HBAR’s market cap down to $9 billion, causing it to lose the crucial $10 billion threshold.

Technical indicators, including a rising ADX and a bearish Ichimoku Cloud setup confirm the increasing strength of the current downtrend. With a recent death cross forming on its EMA lines, HBAR now faces critical support levels. At the same time, any potential recovery would need to reclaim key resistances to reverse the current bearish momentum.

Hedera ADX Indicates the Current Downtrend Is Strong

Hedera Average Directional Index (ADX) is currently at 43.3, a sharp rise from 11.4 just three days ago. This significant increase suggests that the strength of HBAR’s current trend is intensifying.

The ADX indicator measures trend strength without indicating direction, meaning it can apply to both upward and downward trends. Given HBAR’s ongoing downtrend, this surge in ADX reflects growing momentum in the current price movement, reinforcing the prevailing bearish sentiment.

ADX values range from 0 to 100, with readings below 20 indicating a weak or non-existent trend, while values above 25 signal a strengthening trend. When ADX surpasses 40, it suggests a strong trend in place. With HBAR ADX now at 43.3, the downtrend appears to be gaining traction rather than weakening.

This could mean further downside pressure unless a significant shift in buying activity occurs. A high ADX in a downtrend often signals strong bearish momentum, making it difficult for the price to reverse in the short term without a clear change in market structure.
