Hamster Kombat/Tether (HMSTRUSDT) opened at $0.00034 at 12:00 ET on 2025-11-04, reaching a high of $0.000597 before retreating to a low of $0.000312. The pair closed at $0.000328 at 12:00 ET on 2025-11-05. Total 24-hour volume reached ~$15.7 billion, with a turnover of ~10.2 billion tokens traded. The session displayed sharp swings, suggesting a lack of clear directional bias and high sensitivity to news or sentiment shifts.

The structure of the candlesticks over the 24-hour period showed a series of bearish engulfing patterns in the late hours of the session, suggesting short-term exhaustion in the bullish momentum. Key support levels emerged at $0.000326 and $0.000315, with resistance levels at $0.000342 and $0.000355. A long-bodied candle at the close indicates indecision, with buyers stepping in at the last hour to prevent a further decline.

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages diverged significantly during the price run-up in the early evening, highlighting the strength of the short-term move. The 200-period moving average, however, remained below the price, indicating a broader bearish bias. The daily chart showed a similar bearish slant, with the 50/100/200 EMA cluster forming a downward slope.

MACD diverged sharply during the afternoon and evening, with a bearish crossover occurring after a brief overbought condition. The RSI hit overbought territory in the early hours of the session but quickly fell into oversold territory late in the night, reinforcing the idea of a volatile correction. Bollinger Bands expanded dramatically during the peak volatility period, with price bouncing off both upper and lower boundaries before settling back into the channel.

Volume spiked significantly during the price breakout in the evening, but price failed to hold key levels, suggesting that the buying was not sustainable. Notional turnover also surged, but the price action didn’t confirm the strength of the volume, indicating a potential divergence that may lead to a pullback. Fibonacci retracements placed the key 61.8% level near $0.000326, which acted as a strong support during the final stretch of the session.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy described requires access to accurate and continuous market data for HMSTRUSDT, including MACD death-cross events. Given the current data limitations, a direct backtest using this symbol is not feasible. However, the volatility, momentum shifts, and volume spikes observed in this 24-hour period suggest that a MACD-based strategy could be relevant if historical MACD death-cross events can be confirmed. A death-cross event—where the 12-period MACD line crosses below the 26-period signal line—often precedes bearish momentum shifts. Integrating such a signal with volume divergences could improve the accuracy of short-term trade signals.

Looking ahead, the market may test the $0.000326 level again in the next 24 hours. Traders should remain cautious due to the high volatility and the lack of a clear trend. A break above $0.000342 could signal a short-term reversal, but without confirmation of follow-through volume, the bearish bias is likely to persist.
