The HUMAUSDT pair opened at $0.0362 on 2025-10-08 12:00 ET and traded between $0.0365 (high) and $0.0338 (low) over the following 24 hours, closing at $0.03405 on 2025-10-09 12:00 ET. Total trading volume reached 22.85 million HUMA, with a notional turnover of approximately $790,000, highlighting increased activity during the price decline.

Structure and candlestick formations reveal a bearish trend with key support levels emerging at $0.0338–$0.0340 and resistance at $0.0345–$0.0347. Several long bearish shadows and bearish engulfing patterns were observed during the overnight ET sell-off. A significant low-volume doji near $0.0341 in mid-morning ET suggests indecision and potential exhaustion of the current downward move.

Moving averages show the 20-period and 50-period (15-min) lines sloping downward, reinforcing the bearish bias. The 50-period line crossed below the 20-period line, forming a death cross signal. On the daily chart, the 50-period moving average continues to press down on the 100-period line, indicating a longer-term bearish trend.

MACD is negative and below its signal line, suggesting ongoing bearish momentum. RSI has moved into oversold territory, currently at ~30, and could signal a short-term bounce. Bollinger Bands contracted tightly ahead of the sharp selloff, pointing to a potential breakout from the current range.

Notional turnover spiked dramatically during the early ET morning sell-off, with a single 15-minute bar showing $5.08 million in turnover. Volume also peaked at ~5.08 million HUMA during this time. Price and volume aligned during the decline, reinforcing the bearish bias. However, the recent drop in volume after the selloff may indicate waning bearish conviction.

Fibonacci retracement levels on the 15-minute chart indicate key areas of potential support and resistance. The 38.2% retracement level sits at ~$0.0342 and appears to have provided minor resistance during the rebound. The 61.8% retracement level, at ~$0.0346, could become a key area for retesting in the near term.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy involves entering a short position when RSI moves below 40 and MACD turns negative, with a stop-loss placed above the most recent 15-minute high. A long position is triggered when RSI crosses above 40 and MACD turns positive, with a stop-loss placed below the most recent 15-minute low. This approach leverages the RSI and MACD signals observed in the current chart and could have captured the bearish move from $0.0362 to $0.03405. However, given the recent oversold conditions, the strategy would now be inclined to favor a long bias or a neutral bias with a tight stop for a potential bounce.
