On the upside, although HMSTR prices had declined, its monthly active addresses soared.
According to Cryptoquant, Hamster Kombat surpassed 100 million monthly active users and launched its HMSTR token on The Open Network (TON).
As such, the first block had 4.3% of transactions interacting with the Hamster Kombat contract address.
Impact on price charts?
According to AMBCrypto’s analysis, HMSTR failed to meet market expectations.
Since the launch, the altcoin has seen a surge in negative market sentiment. Therefore, the current market conditions could set HMSTR for further decline.

For example, the total liquidation surged over the past 24 hours. According to Coinglass, total liquidation reached $5.1 million.
During this period, liquidation for short positions was $2.5 million and $2.6 million. This shows that the market was bearish, with long position holders lacking confidence in the altcoin’s direction.

Additionally, HMSTR’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) stood at 26 with an RSI-based Moving Average(MA) of 36.17.
This suggested that the alt was oversold. Thus, the selling pressure was higher than the buying pressure, with the sellers dominating the market.
Simply put, HMSTR was experiencing a strong downtrend. If the current market conditions persist, the price will further decline to $0.005.
However, a correction will see it push above $0.010.
