Holo/Tether (HOTUSDT) opened at $0.000907 on 2025-10-06 at 12:00 ET and closed at $0.000896 on 2025-10-07 at the same time. The pair reached a high of $0.000912 and a low of $0.000855. Total volume traded over the 24-hour window was 486,282,154. The notional turnover was approximately $434,797, calculated from the weighted average of prices and volumes.

The structure of the 15-minute chart reveals a bearish bias, marked by a sharp decline from the high of $0.000911 to the low of $0.000855. A long bearish candle on the 24-hour close confirms this downward shift. Key support levels are identified at $0.000876 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement) and $0.000894 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement). Resistance is at $0.000912 and $0.000902. A bearish engulfing pattern formed near $0.000904, suggesting further downside could be in play.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart show a bearish crossover, with the 20-period MA below the 50-period MA. The 200-period MA on the daily chart also remains above the current price, reinforcing the bearish trend. MACD lines remain below zero with negative divergence, indicating weakening bullish momentum. RSI dipped below 30 in the latter half of the day, signaling oversold conditions, although this may not necessarily reverse the downward trend.

Bollinger Bands show a recent contraction after an earlier expansion, particularly between 02:00 ET and 04:00 ET. Price action has since fallen closer to the lower band, suggesting a potential rebound could occur. However, if the price breaks below $0.000860, the lower band may act as a trigger for further downward movement. Volume surged in early trading but declined significantly in the final 4 hours, suggesting reduced conviction in the downtrend.

The notional turnover peaked in the early hours of 2025-10-07, aligning with the high volume and sharp price action. However, as the price moved lower, turnover dropped off, showing divergence between volume and price movement. This could indicate a lack of buying interest despite the selloff. The bearish Fibonacci levels suggest further support could be tested in the next 24 hours if the price continues to trend downward.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy involves entering short positions when the price breaks below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, confirmed by a bearish engulfing pattern and RSI below 30. The stop-loss is placed above the nearest resistance (e.g., $0.000902), with a take-profit target at $0.000876 or $0.000860 depending on volatility. This strategy would have triggered a short signal during the 22:30–23:00 ET candle, aligning with the observed bearish momentum. A trailing stop may be applied as volatility increases near Bollinger Band contraction zones.
