Basic Attention Token/Tether (BATUSDT) opened at 0.1507 on 2025-10-08 at 12:00 ET and reached a 24-hour high of 0.1609 before closing at 0.1551 at 12:00 ET on 2025-10-09. The pair traded between 0.1462 and 0.1609 during the period. Total volume was 27.6 million units, and notional turnover was approximately $4.12 million.

The candlestick structure showed a sharp 15-minute rally above 0.1600 after 10:00 AM ET, capped by a 15-minute bearish reversal candle that pushed the price back to 0.1570 by 4:00 PM ET. A large-volume bearish engulfing pattern formed near 0.1600, indicating possible rejection at key psychological levels. A doji appeared near 0.1570, suggesting indecision after a morning rally.

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average crossed above the 50-period line in the morning, signaling a bullish bias that was later negated by a bearish crossover at 4:30 PM ET. The 50-period line on the daily chart (not shown) remains above the current price, suggesting a longer-term bearish trend.

MACD showed a bullish divergence in the morning but faded into bearish territory by midday, aligning with the price pullback. RSI topped near 80 twice during the day, failing to confirm a sustainable breakout. Bollinger Bands were at their widest point during the midday rally, with price closing near the lower band by the end of the 24-hour period, suggesting potential consolidation ahead.

The 15-minute swing from 0.1520 to 0.1609 saw a 61.8% retracement at 0.1583, which acted as a temporary support during the afternoon. On the daily chart, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the larger move sits at 0.1554 and could offer short-term support in the next 24 hours.

Forward-looking, BATUSDT may consolidate between 0.1530 and 0.1580 if the recent bearish reversal holds. A break below 0.1530 could trigger further momentum to the 0.1500 level. Traders should remain cautious of the potential for a short-term bounce from the 0.1550 area.

The backtest strategy leverages a combination of RSI divergence and volume confirmation to identify potential trend reversals. A long entry is triggered when RSI forms a bullish divergence (price lower low, RSI higher low) with a corresponding volume spike. A short entry is initiated during bearish divergence with declining volume. The strategy is filtered by Bollinger Band width and 20-period moving average direction to confirm trend strength. This approach aims to capture high-probability entries during periods of price exhaustion, especially in fast-moving pairs like BATUSDT.
