Volume patterns reveal heightened institutional participation throughout the session. The surge in trading activity confirms genuine price discovery rather than low-liquidity movements characteristic of smaller altcoins. The afternoon cascade establishes a clear lower high pattern from the initial Dec. 11 spike, creating deteriorating market structure that accelerates downward momentum through previously established support zones. Technical levels at $0.1235 become paramount as HBAR tests critical support following rejection at $0.1320 resistance. The stabilization pattern around $0.124-$0.125 following dramatic capitulation creates potential for mean reversion back to $0.126 resistance. Traders remain cautious given the decisive break of higher timeframe support levels and exceptional volume during the decline that indicates conviction selling. This limits near-term upside potential despite the immediate price recovery that brings some relief to bulls.
