While broader crypto markets remain mixed, historical data shows that HBAR has averaged gains of roughly 38% in January, a pattern often attributed to post-holiday portfolio rebalancing and renewed risk appetite at the start of the year. Traders appear to be positioning ahead of that seasonal trend, even as year-end dynamics continue to influence price action. At the same time, the final days of December are traditionally shaped by tax-loss harvesting, which can suppress prices as investors sell underperforming assets to offset capital gains. For HBAR, this creates a delicate setup. If the token can hold above the $0.115 support zone through December 27–30, it may signal that selling pressure linked to tax considerations is being absorbed, clearing the path for a potential January rebound.

Claude Sonnet 4 delivered the most optimistic scenario, pointing to a potential +6.27% upside, while Gemini 2.5 Flash outlined a downside case of -6.63%. This divergence reflects a market caught between short-term tax-driven selling and anticipatory buying ahead of January’s historically strong performance. Taken together, HBAR’s recent surge, its consistent January seasonality, and the current tax-loss harvesting window suggest that price action into early 2026 could be decisive.
