Hive/Bitcoin (HIVEBTC) opened at $1.07e-06 at 12:00 ET − 1 and closed at $1.06e-06 at 12:00 ET, with a daily high of $1.08e-06 and a low of $1.02e-06. Over the 24-hour period, total volume reached 256,268 units, while turnover remained low, reflecting the small price scale of the pair.

Price action was largely confined within a narrow range for most of the session, with a distinct downward drift occurring after 18:00 ET. A bearish engulfing candle formed at 20:30 ET, where price opened at $1.04e-06 and closed at $1.03e-06, signaling potential bearish momentum. This pattern was followed by a consolidation phase as prices tested the $1.05e-06 support area multiple times. A doji candle appeared at 05:00 ET, suggesting indecision among buyers and sellers.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart closely aligned, indicating no strong directional bias. The 50-period MA on the daily chart acted as a dynamic support line during the consolidation phase. MACD remained below the zero line with no clear divergence, suggesting subdued momentum. RSI moved between 40–60, staying within a neutral range, with no overbought or oversold conditions observed. Bollinger Bands were compressed for most of the session, signaling a period of low volatility, with price hovering near the middle band.

Bollinger Band contraction occurred between 17:00 and 21:00 ET, followed by a brief expansion as price broke below the lower band to reach $1.02e-06. Fibonacci retracement levels of 61.8% and 38.2% were closely tested during the afternoon, with prices rebounding at the 61.8% level. Volume spiked during the 20:30–21:30 ET window, coinciding with the bearish engulfing pattern, but failed to confirm a decisive break below $1.02e-06.

The market may consolidate in the near term, with a potential short-term pullback to the $1.04e-06 support area. A break below that level could trigger further sideways action or a test of the $1.01e-06 psychological floor. Conversely, a retest of the $1.06e-06 resistance may attract buyers if momentum improves.

MACD and RSI showed no strong divergence, with RSI staying in neutral territory. The bearish engulfing pattern and volume spike may suggest a short-term continuation of the decline, while the doji candle hints at potential reversal or consolidation.

Backtest Hypothesis
A backtest evaluated the effectiveness of using Bitcoin’s 14-day RSI > 70 as a signal to buy HIVE.O. Over the period 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-05, 180 such events occurred. The average 1-day return after these events was -0.12%, with a 44% win rate. The risk-adjusted edge was not statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. Holding longer (up to 30 days) worsened performance, with returns trending downward to -4.5%, contrasting with HIVE’s overall positive drift of +4.1% over the same horizon. This suggests that RSI overbought levels in Bitcoin may not be a reliable entry point for HIVE, and could even indicate relative weakness in the asset. The strategy did not produce a compelling edge, and a 1-day tactical play appeared unattractive.
