HBAR has strong technicals

On the daily chart, HBAR’s price floats high above the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages, indicating that bulls are still in control, which is adding to the buying pressure that has driven the recent gains.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator confirms this trend, with both the MACD line positioned above the signal line and pointing upwards, suggesting a strong bullish trend.

At press time, HBAR was trading at $0.34, and based on the positive signals, the next likely target for the token could be the $0.40 psychological resistance, beyond which it would look to secure the $0.45 mark.

However, according to analyst WSB Trader Rocko, HBAR could rally to $0.576—a potential 70% jump from its current price levels
