The 24-hour period for Hooked Protocol/Tether (HOOKUSDT) saw a modest opening at $0.0563 on 12:00 ET – 1, with the price reaching an intraday high of $0.0596 before closing at $0.0592 by 12:00 ET the next day. Total trading volume amounted to 9.6 million contracts, with a notional turnover of approximately $543,000. The price action reflected a slow but determined bullish bias in the afternoon session, with strong volume confirming the upward move.

Structure and key levels suggest that HOOKUSDT may have tested a critical psychological resistance at $0.0595 before consolidating near $0.0592. A bullish engulfing pattern emerged between 14:00 and 15:00 ET, signaling a potential trend reversal after a morning consolidation phase. However, a bearish doji formed near the intraday high at $0.0596, hinting at waning buying momentum. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages remained in a bullish alignment, supporting the view that HOOKUSDT may continue to trade above $0.0562, its morning support.

Momentum indicators showed mixed signals. The MACD (12,26,9) crossed into positive territory around 13:00 ET and hit an overbought reading by 15:00 ET, aligning with the price breakout. The RSI (14) pushed above 70 twice, indicating overbought conditions that could precede a pullback. Bollinger Bands widened in the early afternoon, reflecting increased volatility, while the price remained near the upper band—suggesting a high-risk, high-reward setup.

Fibonacci retracement levels drawn from the morning low ($0.055) to the afternoon high ($0.0596) highlighted key 38.2% ($0.0577) and 61.8% ($0.0586) levels. Price found support at the 50% retracement level ($0.0573) before rallying further. Volume spiked during the breakout phase but showed signs of divergence in the late afternoon as price continued upward without a proportional increase in volume, indicating potential exhaustion. The overall technical picture suggests HOOKUSDT could consolidate near $0.0592 or test $0.0600, but a pullback to the 61.8% Fib level is a likely near-term risk.

The MACD and RSI indicators were central to the backtest hypothesis. Given the limited availability of historical MACD data for HOOKUSDT due to potential symbol or exchange inconsistencies, backtesting over a full period from 2022 is not feasible. However, the 24-hour period under analysis showed a classic MACD golden cross (when the MACD line crosses above the signal line), occurring around 13:00 ET, followed by a strong upward move. If this pattern were consistent over a longer historical timeframe, it could serve as a valid entry signal for long positions, especially if supported by a bullish candlestick formation like the engulfing pattern seen in this dataset. The next step is to clarify how to proceed with historical data retrieval, as this could significantly enhance the reliability and validity of the backtest.
