Kusama/Tether (KSMUSDT) opened at 12.20 on 2025-10-13 12:00 ET, surged to a high of 12.33 before reversing sharply, and closed at 11.30 on 2025-10-14 12:00 ET. The 24-hour trading period saw a total volume of 205,146.14 KSM and a turnover of $2,463,752.57, indicating significant but mixed liquidity and price volatility.

The price structure over the last 24 hours was defined by a sharp bearish reversal from a 15-minute high of 12.33 to a low of 11.04, suggesting a breakdown of short-term bullish momentum. Key support levels formed at 11.24, 11.11, and 11.04, with the latter showing the strongest rejection. Resistance levels emerged at 11.30, 11.35, and 11.40, with a potential consolidation zone forming if 11.30 is tested again. A large bearish engulfing pattern was observed at 12.24–11.72, indicating a strong bearish bias for the near-term.

On the 15-minute chart, 20-period and 50-period moving averages were both trending downward, confirming the bearish tilt. The 50-period line crossed below the 20-period line in a death cross formation, amplifying the bearish signal. On the daily chart, the 50-period SMA sat above the 100-period and 200-period lines, but price remained below all three, indicating a broader bearish trend that may persist without a strong breakout above 11.60.

Bollinger Bands showed significant volatility expansion during the sharp decline from 12.24 to 11.04, indicating heightened market uncertainty. Price closed near the lower band during several sessions, suggesting oversold conditions during those periods. However, without RSI data, the exact overbought or oversold levels could not be confirmed. The upper band remains above 11.50, which could serve as a dynamic resistance if volatility increases again.

The volume profile showed a notable spike during the 11:00–14:00 ET window, coinciding with the decline to 11.04, indicating increased selling pressure. Turnover also increased during that period, suggesting significant notional value was traded at lower levels. However, volume failed to confirm the bearish breakdown, as it did not reach the levels seen during the earlier bullish moves, indicating potential short-term exhaustion. The price-volume divergence suggests caution for further declines in the near term.

Fibonacci retracement levels drawn from the 12.24 high to the 11.04 low identified key potential support and resistance levels. The 61.8% retracement level at 11.28 was tested twice, with partial rejection, while the 38.2% level at 11.52 remains untested but could offer a potential pivot point if bulls regain control. On the 15-minute chart, retracements from recent swings showed similar bearish bias, with price repeatedly failing to reclaim key levels above 11.40.

The backtest hypothesis involves assessing the KSMUSDT pair using daily MACD (12, 26, 9) and RSI (14) indicators to generate automated signals for a trading strategy. However, attempts to fetch these indicator values have returned errors due to a missing or inaccessible data source for this specific symbol. This typically indicates a technical issue with the upstream data provider, which may prevent the strategy from being backtested as designed.

Given this constraint, the backtest process cannot proceed without additional input. One viable solution is to supply manually calculated MACD and RSI values for the last 24 hours or to use a different supported symbol for validation purposes. Alternatively, we can pause the backtest until the data source issue is resolved. If you have any existing indicator data or prefer an alternative symbol, please provide the details so we can continue.
