The Stargate Finance/Tether (STGUSDT) pair opened at 0.143 on 2025-11-02 at 12:00 ET and hit a high of 0.147 before declining sharply to a 24-hour low of 0.127 at 15:30 ET. The price closed at 0.127 at 12:00 ET on 2025-11-03. Total volume reached 13,253,086.6 units over the period, with a notional turnover of approximately $1,800,000. The session witnessed a sharp breakdown below key resistance levels, indicating a shift in sentiment toward bearish momentum.

Structure on the 15-minute chart shows a clear breakdown from a prior consolidation range around 0.142–0.145. The decline accelerated after a long bearish engulfing pattern appeared at 22:15–22:30 ET, followed by a bearish breakout candle at 0.1447. This formation signals increased bearish control and is often a precursor to further downside. A 61.8% Fibonacci retracement from the 0.147 high to the 0.127 low aligns with the 0.132 level, which may serve as a short-term target for a potential bounce.

The 20-period moving average on the 15-minute chart crossed below the 50-period line, confirming a bearish crossover. On the daily timeframe, the 50-period MA remains above the 200-period MA, indicating that the broader trend remains neutral to slightly bullish, though the recent breakdown challenges this. Bollinger Bands show a sharp expansion, with price now sitting near the lower band. This suggests increased volatility and a potential exhaustion of bearish momentum near the 0.123–0.125 zone.

Relative Strength Index (RSI) dropped from overbought levels above 65 to below 30, signaling oversold conditions and potential for a near-term rebound. However, a bearish divergence in the RSI suggests that any rally may be short-lived. MACD turned negative and formed a bearish divergence as well, reinforcing the bearish bias. The combination of RSI and MACD readings may signal a short-term pause in the decline but does not negate the larger bearish trend. Investors should monitor for a break above 0.132 as a potential signal of stabilizing demand.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the absence of a reliable MACD data series for STGUSDT, running a backtest on this pair with our current tools is not feasible. However, the chart patterns observed—particularly the bearish engulfing and breakdown below key support—suggest that a MACD Golden Cross strategy could provide valuable insights if implemented. The MACD Golden Cross, where the MACD line crosses above the signal line, is a traditional entry signal for bullish strategies. If we were able to run such a strategy on STGUSDT from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-03, it could offer insight into the effectiveness of trend-following trades on this pair. Alternatively, a similar strategy could be tested on a better-supported pair like BTCUSDT, which might yield more robust and generalizable results for trend-following methodologies in the crypto space.
