The cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing a wave of bearish volatility amid growing geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran. Ethereum (ETH) has taken a sharp hit, falling 9% in the last seven days and now trading near $2,530. Unsurprisingly, altcoins have followed suit — and Hedera (HBAR) is among those seeing notable declines has dropped 17% over the past week, extending its monthly losses to around 20%. However, while the surface-level price action paints a gloomy picture, a deeper look at the charts reveals a potentially bullish story unfolding — one that may be repeating a powerful fractal from the past.

Fractal Suggests Bullish Reversal Ahead
Looking at HBAR’s weekly chart, a striking pattern emerges — nearly identical to its own behavior during the 2021 cycle.
In early 2021, HBAR launched an explosive rally of over 1,374%, reaching new highs. Following that surge, it underwent a sharp correction of about -68%, before stabilizing and rallying another +265% — a sequence that turned heads across the market.

Fast forward to today, and HBAR appears to be forming that very same structure again. Over recent months, HBAR has once again declined by approximately 68%, this time from its 2024 high. The price has now begun to form a bottom near the $0.148 level — almost mirroring the same bottom it printed before its last major breakout.
This similarity is too significant to ignore, especially considering how strongly the 2021 fractal played out.
What’s Next for HBAR?
If this fractal fully plays out, and HBAR manages to hold its current support zone, the stage could be set for another powerful rally. A clean breakout — ideally supported by rising volume and strong momentum — could see HBAR making a run back toward the $0.50 mark, aligning with the projection from the previous fractal's recovery phase.
However, crypto markets are unpredictable. While historical patterns can offer valuable insight, they are not guarantees. A breakdown below the current support zone could invalidate the fractal and drag HBAR lower. With the current macro uncertainty fueled by geopolitical issues, caution is warranted.
That said, the fractal setup is compelling — and for technical traders, this could be one of the more interesting charts to watch over the coming weeks.
