Hamster Kombat/Tether (HMSTRUSDT) opened at $0.000591 at 12:00 ET – 1 and closed at $0.000594 at 12:00 ET. The price surged to a high of $0.000635 and dropped to a low of $0.000591. Total volume for the 24-hour period was 678.35 million, with a notional turnover of approximately $419.63 million.

On the 15-minute chart, price exhibited a bullish breakout from a descending triangle pattern after 04:00 ET. A strong bullish engulfing pattern formed at $0.000618–$0.000619, followed by a bearish divergence at $0.000634 as RSI hit overbought territory. The price then pulled back sharply toward $0.000601, forming a potential bearish reversal pattern with wicks extending beyond the body.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart showed a bullish crossover of the 20SMA and 50SMA around 04:30 ET, confirming the upward shift in momentum. However, by 15:00 ET, the 50SMA had moved above the 20SMA, suggesting a possible near-term reversal. Daily MAs were not included due to lack of daily data, but the 15-minute trend appears to have lost strength by mid-day as the 50SMA began to flatten.

MACD showed a bullish signal after 03:00 ET but lost momentum after 08:00 ET, with the histogram shrinking despite continued price gains. RSI peaked at 72 and then collapsed below 50 by 13:00 ET, indicating bearish exhaustion. Bollinger Bands widened significantly during the peak volatility period, with price reaching the upper band multiple times before retreating toward the midline as volatility subsided.

Volume was highly unevenly distributed. Strong buying pressure was seen in the 04:00–06:00 ET window, with turnover surging 30% above average. A divergence emerged after 15:00 ET when price fell but volume remained elevated, suggesting ongoing selling pressure despite bearish price action. Fibonacci retracement levels identified key support at $0.000619 (61.8%) and $0.000606 (38.2%), with resistance at $0.000629 (78.6%) and $0.000634 (100%).

Looking ahead, HMSTRUSDT may consolidate around the 38.2% Fibonacci level or test $0.000606 for a potential break lower. Investors should remain cautious as divergence and overbought RSI readings indicate the risk of a near-term correction.

The backtesting strategy described involves a momentum-based approach using RSI and MACD crossovers on the 15-minute chart. Given the current readings, a sell signal would likely have been triggered after 06:00 ET as RSI declined from 72 to 60 and MACD histogram contracted. A buy signal may have re-emerged after 19:00 ET as RSI dipped below 30 and MACD crossed the signal line. Traders using this strategy would have seen mixed results today due to the late bearish turn.
