$HOOD USDT just delivered a sharp wake-up call for short-term traders. Price is currently hovering around $78.98, marking a –9.06% move on the day and signaling rising volatility in the perp market. The session high reached $87.57, while buyers stepped in near the $77.70 low, confirming this zone as an important short-term support.
On the 15-minute chart, HOOD is trading below all key moving averages — MA(7): 79.80, MA(25): 80.09, and MA(99): 83.40 — a clear sign that bearish momentum is still in control. The rejection near the 80–81 zone shows sellers defending aggressively, keeping the structure weak unless price reclaims 80.5+ with volume.
Volume remains elevated with 24h HOOD volume at 60,662 and USDT volume near $4.94M, showing active participation and strong interest from both sides.
If $77.70 breaks, downside could accelerate quickly. A clean hold above this support, however, may trigger a short squeeze toward $81–83. This is a high-energy zone — manage risk tightly and trade the levels, not emotions.
