The Jito/Tether pair (JTOUSDT) opened at 0.733 on 2025-11-06 at 12:00 ET and reached a high of 0.809 before closing at 0.746 as of 12:00 ET on 2025-11-07. The price action reflected a volatile 24-hour session with a total traded volume of 1,120,859.2 and a notional turnover of $833,267.33. The session saw multiple attempts to consolidate above 0.75, with mixed technical signals suggesting a possible short-term correction ahead.

Structure & Formations

The 24-hour chart exhibited a strong bearish engulfing pattern in the morning before the price rebounded midday, forming a large bullish candle with a long upper wick. This indicated aggressive buying but also a rejection of higher levels. Key support emerged at 0.724–0.730, where the price tested twice and bounced back. Resistance levels at 0.75–0.76 and 0.79–0.80 showed mixed responses, with the 0.809 high failing to hold.

Moving Averages

The 15-minute chart showed the price oscillating above and below the 20-period and 50-period moving averages, with the 50-period line trending upward. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA was at 0.747, near the current closing price, while the 200-period MA held steady around 0.735. This convergence suggests a potential consolidation phase as the shorter-term average aligns with the close.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line on the 15-minute chart crossed above the signal line in the morning, reflecting bullish momentum, but later diverged with the price as the bearish trend took hold. RSI reached overbought territory twice—first at 0.784 and later at 0.803—without significant follow-through, indicating potential exhaustion in the bullish move. A bearish divergence appears in the afternoon, suggesting possible short-term reversal.

Bollinger Bands

Price action showed a notable expansion in the Bollinger Band width during the midday rally, with the close at 0.761 falling near the upper band. This suggests a period of high volatility followed by a contraction as the price drifted back toward the middle band. The current close at 0.746 sits just below the middle band, indicating a potential near-term retest of key support or resistance.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged during the morning rally, peaking at 129,464.1, while turnover followed a similar pattern, hitting $97,124.63. However, after 14:45 ET, both volume and turnover declined sharply, with the price unable to maintain above 0.75. This divergence may signal a weakening in conviction for the bullish move. The late-day bearish move was supported by moderate volume, suggesting traders may be hedging or locking in profits.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the key 0.724 to 0.809 swing, the 0.749 level (61.8% retracement) appears as a critical psychological support. The current close at 0.746 is just below this level, suggesting a potential bounce or a continuation toward the next support at 0.730. On the daily chart, retracement levels from the broader range suggest that a break below 0.724 could accelerate selling pressure.

Backtest Hypothesis

The Bearish Engulfing – 5-Day Hold strategy, tested on SPY from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-07, delivered modest returns with an annualized return of 0.96% and a Sharpe ratio of 0.16. The strategy appears to capture some short-term bearish sentiment but lacks the precision and risk-adjusted returns necessary for consistent profitability. Given the mixed signals in the JTOUSDT chart—such as the failed overbought RSI and the bearish engulfing formation—it may be worth adapting this strategy with tighter stop-loss levels or applying it to higher-volatility crypto pairs where the pattern may show more predictive power. Testing this approach on JTOUSDT with additional filters, such as volume confirmation or trend alignment, could provide clearer insights into its viability in a crypto context.
