Backtest Hypothesis

The UMA/Tether with MACD Golden Cross strategy has historically demonstrated varied performance. In 2022, the strategy capitalized on strong UMA rallies and stable USDT support, delivering favorable gains. In 2023, the Fed’s interest rate hikes and market volatility curtailed opportunities, but the strategy still showed modest returns. Currently, the pair appears to have entered a potential recovery phase, with recent MACD golden cross signals suggesting a possible reentry into positive momentum. However, traders must remain cautious as macroeconomic factors and geopolitical risks could disrupt this trend.
