HBAR climbed 4% on Oct. 1, 2025, as it closed above $0.221 and flipped that level into support, lifting the spot price from $0.21 to $0.22. Volume exceeded 125 million tokens on the breakout, while the session range measured $0.012 and volatility printed 5.7 %. The move followed news of Hedera’s links to SWIFT, Citigroup, Germany’s Bundesbank and the Frontier Stablecoin program in Wyoming, which the outlet says has lifted institutional confidence.
The close above $0.221 established a new support zone that underpinned the 4 % advance to $0.22. Trading activity accelerated as volume cleared 125 million tokens, coinciding with a 5.7 % volatility print and a $0.012 session range. The breakout aligned with headlines on Hedera’s ties to SWIFT, Citigroup, the Bundesbank and Wyoming’s Frontier Stablecoin program, and the report suggests these links have strengthened institutional confidence.
The surge in volume and the roster of corporate and public-sector partners imply three near-term effects: added institutional exposure, deeper intraday liquidity and price action that reacts quickly around new support and resistance levels. Buyers have so far defended $0.22, yet the possibility of a failure at this newly established support still looms.
Technical levels and outlook
Momentum and volume gauges now point toward a target band of $0.223–$0.225, identified as the Fibonacci extension of the prior swing.
If bids at $0.22 retreat, the first downside level to watch is $0.2074; a close beneath that opens $0.1944. A separate note places support at $0.21 and warns of a slide toward $0.18–$0.19 if that floor breaks (Blockchain.news, Sep. 16, 2025).
The next sessions will test whether $0.22 holds and whether any new highs print on equal or greater volume. Traders are tracking $0.22 as immediate support and $0.223–$0.225 as the closest resistance to gauge continuation or rejection.
In sum, sustained acceptance above $0.22 with strong participation would validate a push into $0.223–$0.225, while loss of $0.2074–$0.21 would shift risk toward $0.1944 and potentially $0.18–$0.19.
