Newton Protocol/Tether (NEWTUSDT) opened at 0.1598 on October 26, 2025, at 12:00 ET, reached a high of 0.1645, a low of 0.1556, and closed at 0.1571 on October 27, 2025, at 12:00 ET. Total 24-hour volume was 3,955,131.9 units, with a notional turnover of $628,833.90. Price action shows a volatile breakout attempt, followed by consolidation in a key range.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart showed a bullish crossover early in the session, suggesting momentum, but the 50-period MA lagged behind as price surged higher. A larger consolidation phase emerged after 18:00 ET, as the 50-period MA caught up with the 20-period MA, signaling potential indecision among traders. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA remains above the 100- and 200-period MAs, indicating a continuation of a longer-term bullish trend.

The RSI oscillated between overbought (70+) and oversold (30–) conditions multiple times, with a notable overbought peak at 0.1645 followed by a pullback. This suggests that short-term traders may have taken profits after the breakout. The MACD histogram peaked during the breakout phase and has since contracted, indicating waning momentum and a potential reversal in the near term. Price remains within the upper half of the Bollinger Bands, suggesting elevated volatility and a potential pullback toward the 0.1585–0.1605 range.

Volume spiked significantly between 22:15 and 23:45 ET during the breakout phase, confirming the move. However, volume has since decreased, indicating reduced conviction. A divergence between the price and volume is evident after the 02:30 ET high, which may signal a weakening of the bullish thesis. Notable Fibonacci retracement levels at 0.1610 (61.8%) and 0.1593 (38.2%) were tested multiple times during the session, suggesting possible support/resistance for the next 24 hours.

The breakout above 0.1610–0.1630 support turned into a potential flag pattern, with a target of 0.1655 if retested. A breakdown below 0.1585 would invalidate the bullish case, pushing price toward 0.1565 and 0.1550. The 20-period MA remains a dynamic support line, currently at 0.1578, which could see renewed buying interest if the market corrects.

Backtest Hypothesis
Given the observed flag pattern and confirmed breakout with high volume, a backtest could be designed around a strategy entering long at the breakout level of 0.1610 with a stop loss below 0.1593 and a take-profit at 0.1643 (a 2.8% target). A trailing stop could be set at 1.5% below the entry to capture part of the move while managing downside risk. To test the strategy’s robustness, it could be backtested on a selection of high-volume altcoins (e.g., top 50 by market cap) over the past 12 months, incorporating slippage of 0.1% and a flat transaction cost of 0.05% per trade. This would assess whether the pattern-based breakout strategy is effective across different market conditions and liquidity levels.
