The FC Barcelona Fan Token/Tether (BARUSDT) opened at $0.862 on 2025-10-13 at 12:00 ET and traded as high as $0.919 before falling to a low of $0.835. It closed at $0.863 on 2025-10-14 at 12:00 ET. The 24-hour total volume was 635,553.41, with a notional turnover of approximately $552,746. Notably, the price action saw a sharp rebound after a period of consolidation and oversold RSI conditions.

Structure and formations reveal a key support level forming around $0.835–$0.849 and resistance at $0.869–$0.878. A bullish engulfing pattern emerged after the 09:00–09:15 ET candle, which followed a long bearish candle. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart suggest a reentry into the mean, with the 20-period MA crossing above the 50-period MA during the recovery. The daily chart shows the 50-period MA above the 100-period MA but below the 200-period MA, indicating intermediate-term uncertainty.

MACD showed a bearish crossover into negative territory early in the session, but a bullish divergence in the RSI suggested potential for a reversal. RSI dropped below 30 before rebounding past 50 but failed to reach overbought levels. This suggests that while the market appears to have bottomed, momentum is not yet fully bullish. Bollinger Bands tightened between $0.856 and $0.866 before expanding as price surged above the upper band, signaling a breakout.

Volume surged between 09:00 and 09:45 ET, with the 09:00–09:15 ET candle alone accounting for over 635,000 in volume. This aligns with the strongest upward price movement, offering confirmation rather than divergence. Fibonacci retracements of the major swing (from $0.835 to $0.919) show 38.2% at $0.868 and 61.8% at $0.854, suggesting potential for continued consolidation or a test of 61.8% support in the near term.

The backtest hypothesis outlined earlier is closely aligned with the price action observed in BARUSDT. The RSI(14) crossed above 70 (overbought) at several points during the test period, most recently around $0.869–$0.871. A 5-day holding period would have captured the rebound but may not have fully captured the depth of the subsequent pullback. Given the volatility and volume dynamics seen in the 24-hour chart, a short-term RSI-based strategy may not be optimal unless combined with additional filters such as volume confirmation or Fibonacci levels. This suggests that the RSI strategy could be refined for tokens like BARUSDT by incorporating trend-following or range-bound criteria.
