Hedera Finalizes HIP-1299 Review as Node Maintenance Ends; HBAR Presses Triangle Resistance

Hedera ran a routine maintenance windowtoday for council node abrdn (node26, account 0.0.29) from 07:00 to 13:00 UTC. The network stayed available, and other components operated normally. In Asia time, the window spanned 11:00 to 17:00.

At the same time, Hedera’s governance process reached a key checkpoint. The “Node Account ID refinements for Dynamic Address Book” proposal, known as HIP-1299, concluded its Last-Call period at 07:00 UTC.

This step keeps the address-book transition on schedule and signals that contributors have finished public review for the current draft.

Hedera’s intraday triangle tests resistance as trader calls for $0.21 retrace

Hedera’s 4-hour chart shows a contracting triangle after the early-October selloff. Price now presses the upper trendline near $0.18 with a series of higher lows along the base. The structure reflects volatility compression. Buyers have nudged candles above mid-range, yet the move still needs a clean close through the descending trendline to confirm momentum.

The tweet claims a full retracement to $0.21. Technically, that level aligns with the breakdown origin and a visible supply zone on the left of the chart. However, the path depends on confirmation. A decisive break and hold above the triangle top, followed by a push through the recent swing area around $0.188–$0.19, would strengthen the case for an advance into that supply. Until then, the pattern remains neutral inside compression.

Volume stayed modest through most of the coil, which is typical as ranges mature. A breakout with expanding volume would validate intent. Conversely, a fade back under the rising base near $0.173 would keep the range intact and delay any retracement narrative. In short, the setup is constructive at resistance, and the next few candles will decide whether the coil resolves toward the $0.19–$0.21 pocket or resets inside the triangle.

HBAR Weekly Chart Eyes Breakout Toward $0.25 After Volatility Spike

Hedera’s weekly HBAR/USD chart shows a large symmetrical triangle that has guided price action throughout 2025. Despite the sharp liquidation wick earlier this month, the candle recovered back inside the pattern, keeping the structure intact. The chart now approaches the triangle’s apex, where a decisive move becomes increasingly likely.

The analyst targets the $0.25 area, which aligns with a visible resistance cluster and previous breakdown zone. This level also sits near the triangle’s upper boundary, making it a technical checkpoint for any sustained trend reversal. A weekly close above that resistance would shift market structure back to higher highs and open the path toward the upper liquidity pocket between $0.31 and $0.42.

However, the triangle remains unbroken for now. Until price closes outside the pattern, the structure stays neutral. A rejection at resistance would push HBAR back into the mid-range, while a confirmed breakout would validate the bullish scenario and support the $0.25 thesis.
