xlim=get(gca,'xlim');
hold on
plot(xlim,[30 30])

Isn't the first line unnecessary? xlim is already the x limits - you don't have to call get() to retrieve it, it's already ready to be used "as is". xlim is actually a function itself that returns the x limits.

bar(X);
hold on
plot(xlim,[30 30], 'r')
works too! Thank you all!

A bit shorter:
hline(30,':k','This Line is horizontal')
