Ardor/Tether (ARDRUSDT) opened at 0.05809 on 2025-11-03 12:00 ET and closed at 0.05579 by 12:00 ET on 2025-11-04. The 24-hour range was between 0.05869 and 0.05532, with total volume of 5,116,116.0 ARDR and a notional turnover of $290,369.70 (based on USDT prices).

The 15-minute chart shows a gradual descent after an initial push toward 0.05869, followed by a sharp decline post 0.0582. Price consolidation around 0.0577–0.0579 gave way to a strong bearish trend after 0.0576, with a clear breakdown below key support into the 0.0550–0.0560 range. A bearish engulfing pattern formed as the price dropped below 0.0560 on early morning candles.

The 20-period and 50-period SMAs on the 15-minute chart suggest bearish alignment, with price consistently below both. On a daily basis, the 50/100/200 SMA structure is bearish, with ARDRUSDT trading at a significant discount to its longer-term moving averages, indicating sustained downward pressure. The MACD line remained below zero for most of the period, with bearish crossovers reinforcing the downtrend. RSI reached oversold levels around 28–30 on several occasions, but failed to trigger a meaningful rebound.

Volatility expanded as the price moved lower, with Bollinger Bands widening toward the end of the period. Price settled near the lower band during the morning session, suggesting high volatility and a possible continuation of the bearish trend. The 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the most recent 15-minute swing was tested around 0.0568–0.0570, but failed to hold.

Fibonacci retracement levels from the key 0.05869–0.05532 swing show the 61.8% level at 0.0563, which was tested and rejected multiple times. A potential bounce from this level may occur if the bearish momentum stabilizes. However, a break below the 0.0558–0.0560 consolidation area could target the next Fibonacci level at 0.0550.

Backtest Hypothesis
Given the current RSI-14 dynamics and the failure of price to hold above 0.0560 despite multiple attempts, a backtest strategy using RSI-14 as a signal is warranted. Assuming an accurate ticker format is provided (e.g., “BINANCE:ARDRUSDT”), we can pull RSI data from 1 Jan 2022 to 2025-11-04. An “oversold (<30)” entry trigger followed by a one-day-hold exit would help assess whether this low RSI reading typically precedes a rebound in ARDRUSDT. This could offer directional insight into whether the current RSI level is a meaningful entry point or a false signal in the context of a broader downtrend.
