HBAR, the native token of Hedera, fell nearly 6% on Monday as renewed selling pressure tested short-term support levels despite fresh ecosystem developments aimed at boosting developer adoption.
However, on a broader timeframe, the token remains up 6.63% over the past week, indicating underlying recovery strength.
At the time of reporting, HBAR is trading at $0.09898, according to data from CoinMarketCap. The 24-hour trading volume stands at $161.82 million, down 6.02% on the day.
Market capitalization is currently valued at $4.23 billion, even as recent price weakness temporarily weighs on momentum.

Intraday Levels Shape Short-Term Outlook
The one-hour chart on Binance shows HBAR previously rallying from the $0.088–$0.089 demand region before breaking consolidation near $0.092 and reaching supply around $0.105–$0.107. Sellers later regained control, pushing the price back toward the $0.098 support region, now under pressure.
According to the crypto analyst @Finora_EN, Immediate resistance sits between $0.102 and $0.103, where price rejection recently occurred. A sustained recovery above this range could allow another attempt toward the $0.105 supply zone.
Failure to hold current support, however, may expose downside toward $0.092 demand, with extended weakness potentially revisiting $0.088 accumulation levels.
Market participants are being careful with their actions, with the ease in the momentum indicators suggesting that they are waiting for a signal to re-enter the market. The response of the price action around the current level of support is likely to determine the course of the market in the short term.
Micropayment Integration Expands Developer Tools
Hedera has adopted the x402 payment standard developed by Coinbase, enabling web-native micropayments across the entire developer ecosystem.
This means that websites and applications are now able to send payments during interaction, making it easier to onboard without subscriptions and avoiding redirects during the payment process.
This opens the door to the implementation of pay-per-use pricing models for micropayments in diverse digital markets around the globe.
Developers also get automated tools for micropayments, with software agents facilitating autonomous transactions, disposing of insignificant amounts, or cents, to gain access to APIs, data, articles, or translations.
The unified x402 model operates across networks, with Hedera providing low fees and high performance. The extent to which applications under Coinbase’s ecosystem adopt this technology would be instrumental to their success globally.
Why This Matters
The near-term price action of HBAR appears to be touching critical supports, which may influence the minds of traders and determine the near-term direction for the rest of the altcoins in the market.
Furthermore, the recent announcement from Hedera regarding the micropayment integration may also prove beneficial in attracting more developers, and real-world applications may provide stability to the price action of HBAR.
