Helium ($HNT), the blockchain-powered wireless network for IoT and mobile devices, has seen a modest recovery over the past month, gaining 9.21% within that period. Since hitting a local high of $9.58 in February 2024, $HNT has largely traded within a range of $3.50 to $4.80. At the time of writing, $HNT is priced at $3.87 after touching an intraday high of $4.29, approximately 15% above its 24-hour low of $3.73. The Volatile Journey of Helium’s Token Price Initially launched in July 2019 after its founding in 2013, the Helium blockchain allows low-power wireless devices to exchange data over a decentralized network of nodes. Its native token, the Helium Network Token ($HNT), powers this infrastructure and rewards Hotspot operators who transmit data across the network. However, $HNT has experienced price volatility since its launch.

However, the project faced setbacks in 2023 when Binance delisted $HNT trading pairs , negatively impacting the token’s price. This followed Helium’s migration to the Solana blockchain , during which existing $HNT tokens were mapped to Solana, and Hotspots were tokenized as NFTs. Despite the turbulence, Helium has emerged as a leading player in the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) space, supporting real-world 5G deployment and IoT integration. $HNT – decentralized 5g wireless network, under radar since transition onto Solana from its own chain – now has much more cheaper costs to operate network – RWA narrative w/ MKR leading, think DePIN plays follow suit w/ rotation play – first close over 200D ma in 600 days pic.twitter.com/Pcyqvvkcwp — Ansem (@blknoiz06) August 4, 2023 In December 2023, Helium Mobile launched a nationwide $20/month unlimited talk , text, and data plan, now accounting for roughly 90% of the project’s revenue.

Telecom giant AT&T partnered with Helium in April 2025 to allow its U.S. subscribers to connect via Helium’s decentralized network. As a result, these developments have strengthened investor sentiment , with many anticipating that $HNT could revisit its 2021 bull run highs in the future. Technical Price Prediction: Is $HNT Building Toward a Breakout? From a technical perspective, $HNT has been attempting a recovery from a prolonged downtrend that lasted through late 2024 and early 2025. After bottoming near $2.00, the price has formed a rising channel pattern, indicating a shift in momentum. Since early March, $HNT/$USDT has maintained higher highs and higher lows within this ascending channel. It is currently trading above key short-term EMAs: the 9 EMA at $3.982, the 20 EMA at $3.950, and the 50 EMA at $3.507. However, the longer-term 200 EMA sits higher at $4.816, suggesting the recovery is still in progress. Key support is located just above $3.50, aligned with the 50 EMA and the lower boundary of the ascending channel. $HINT just pulled a full resurrection candle after months of flatline!

On the upside, immediate resistance lies at $4.225, which has capped multiple rallies in recent weeks. A confirmed breakout above this point could open the path toward the $5.477–$5.755 range, coinciding with the 200 EMA and prior consolidation levels.
