SKALE/Tether (SKLUSDT) opened at 0.01741 on 2025-11-11 12:00 ET, surged to 0.01786 before plunging to a 24-hour low of 0.01625. It closed at 0.01637 at 12:00 ET on 2025-11-12. The total volume for the 24-hour period was 25,295,450.0, with a notional turnover of $410,837.5.

The price action displayed a strong bearish bias, with multiple bearish engulfing patterns and long lower wicks in the early part of the session. A significant support level appears to have emerged near 0.01625, where the price consolidated briefly and reversed higher, suggesting short-term oversold conditions. However, the inability to recover above 0.01681 could indicate continued bearish momentum ahead.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart show a key 20-period MA crossing below the 50-period MA in a death cross formation, reinforcing short-term bearish sentiment. Daily MAs, particularly the 50-period and 200-period, may be critical for longer-term direction. The price appears to sit well below both 50 and 200-day MAs, suggesting a continuation of the bearish trend is likely unless a reversal is confirmed above 0.0172.

The RSI indicator showed a clear oversold condition during the 0.01625 consolidation, which may have triggered some short-covering or long entries. MACD remained in negative territory with declining momentum, suggesting continued downward pressure. Volatility expanded during the drop from 0.01786 to 0.01625, as evidenced by the widening of Bollinger Bands, with the price hovering near the lower band, indicating a potential bounce.

Bollinger Bands also showed a contraction before the drop, signaling a potential breakout scenario. The price currently appears to be in a consolidation phase near 0.01637, which may offer a temporary floor before further decline. A break below 0.01625 could target 0.01600–0.01580 on the Fibonacci 61.8% level of the recent swing. Conversely, a reversal above 0.01681 and 0.01700 could attract buyers, though the 50-period MA remains a key psychological level to watch.

Volume and turnover spiked during the price decline, confirming the bearish move. However, the recent rise from 0.01625 to 0.01637 was supported by moderate volume, suggesting some accumulation. Divergence between price and volume during the recovery phase may hint at potential volatility in the next 24 hours. Investors should remain cautious for further downside unless a bullish reversal pattern emerges near 0.01681.

Given the current setup, the price may test support at 0.01625 in the near term. While a bounce appears possible, bearish momentum remains intact. Traders should closely monitor the 0.01681 level for a potential reversal signal.

The RSI-based "RSI-Oversold" strategy has shown mixed but usable performance on SKLUSDT over the backtest period from January 2022 to November 2025. The strategy yielded a total return of 89.1%, an annualized return of ~16.6%, and an average gain of 1.51% per trade. However, the 47.7% maximum drawdown and 0.51 Sharpe ratio indicate that it carries considerable risk and is more suited for patient, risk-aware traders. The average winning trade was 6.67%, while losses averaged –5.51%, suggesting the strategy relies on a relatively high win rate rather than large gains per trade. Given the current market condition and the RSI’s recent oversold reading, this strategy could be relevant for identifying potential short-term buying opportunities if the price continues to stabilize near 0.01625.
