The Pixels/Tether (PIXELUSDT) pair opened at 0.02886 on 2025-09-24 12:00 ET, hitting a high of 0.0292 before declining to a 24-hour low of 0.02699 and closing at 0.02747 as of 2025-09-25 12:00 ET. Total volume was 40.35 million units, with a notional turnover of approximately $113.5 million. The bearish bias was evident, as the price spent the majority of the session below key moving averages and key resistance levels.

Structure & Formations

Price action showed a strong bearish breakout below the 0.0284–0.0286 consolidation range, followed by a sharp decline to 0.0270. A notable bearish engulfing pattern emerged during the 2025-09-25 03:30 ET candle, confirming the downward move. A long lower wick at 0.02851 (2025-09-25 01:45 ET) hinted at short-covering or buying interest, but it failed to hold. Key support levels at 0.0275 and 0.0270 are now under pressure, with resistance at 0.0286 and 0.0292 becoming more distant.

Moving Averages

The 20-period SMA on the 15-minute chart sits at 0.0283, while the 50-period SMA is at 0.0280. The price closed below both, reinforcing the bearish trend. On the daily chart, the 50-period SMA is at 0.0288, the 100-period SMA at 0.0290, and the 200-period SMA at 0.0292. A break below the 50-period daily SMA could trigger further liquidation pressure and extend the bearish momentum.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed below the signal line during the early morning hours, signaling a bearish divergence. The histogram shows a negative trend with increasing bearish momentum. The RSI stands at 33, indicating oversold conditions. However, the RSI has not formed a bullish divergence, and the price remains below critical support levels. A bounce in RSI to 40 or higher without a significant price reversal may signal a false recovery attempt.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly during the midday decline, as the price dropped below the lower band of the Bollinger Band structure. A contraction in volatility occurred just before the 2025-09-25 03:30 ET sharp decline, suggesting a period of consolidation before a breakout. Price is now resting near the lower band, which may act as a temporary support level if buyers step in. A retest of the 0.0270–0.0275 range could either find support or see further downward movement.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged to a peak of 5.25 million units during the 2025-09-25 12:30 ET candle, coinciding with a sharp drop to 0.02699. This massive volume without a corresponding bullish reversal suggests aggressive bearish momentum and potential short-term liquidation. Turnover spiked to $16.5 million during that session. However, the price failed to hold above 0.0275 despite this, indicating divergence between volume and price and reinforcing the bearish bias.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from the recent high of 0.0292 to the low of 0.02699 is at 0.0276. The price closed below this level, suggesting further bearish potential. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement level is at 0.0287 and the 61.8% is at 0.0272. A retest of the 0.0272–0.0276 range could determine whether a short-term bounce materializes or if the bearish trend continues.

Backtest Hypothesis

The described backtesting strategy involves entering a short position when RSI falls below 30 and the price closes below the 20-period SMA on the 15-minute chart, with a stop-loss set 1.5% above the entry price and a target of 2% downside from the entry. This approach aligns with the current technical setup, as both conditions were met during the 2025-09-25 03:30 ET candle. A backtest would assess how often this combination of signals yields profitable short-term bearish trades in a low-volume, high-volatility market like PIXELUSDT. It would also evaluate the impact of false breakouts and overbought/oversold divergences in the RSI.
