Opening and Daily Summary

Stargate Finance/Tether (STGUSDT) opened at 0.1272 on 2025-11-05 at 12:00 ET and reached a high of 0.1315 before closing at 0.1247 on 2025-11-06 at 12:00 ET. The price traded between 0.1233 and 0.1315, with total volume of 3,815,339.2 and turnover of 473,506.28 Tether over the 24-hour period. The market appears to have experienced a strong bearish reversal late in the day, raising questions about near-term support levels.

Structure & Formations

The price formation on the 15-minute chart highlights a bearish engulfing pattern forming just before the close at 15:45–16:00 ET, as a large bearish candle consumed the previous bullish one. This pattern suggests strong bearish sentiment. Notable support levels appear near 0.1241–0.1233, with resistance retesting at 0.1271. A potential double-top structure is forming near the 0.1302–0.1311 range, which may signal a key area for future resistance if the price attempts to rally.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages have been closely aligned, both trending lower in the final hours of the day, reinforcing the bearish bias. On the daily timeframe, the 50-period moving average is above the 100- and 200-period lines, suggesting the asset is in a medium-term bearish phase. The price closed below the 200-day moving average, which could indicate a shift in long-term trend sentiment.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed below the signal line in the late afternoon, confirming the bearish reversal in price. RSI dropped sharply into oversold territory near 29, suggesting potential for a bounce. However, the rapid sell-off may indicate weak demand, and a failure to rebound above 50 would likely continue the downtrend.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility increased significantly in the late afternoon, with price moving near the lower band at 0.1233 before bouncing slightly. The bands expanded during the sell-off, suggesting a potential consolidation phase ahead. The price remains within the bands, but the narrowing of the bands earlier in the day indicated a period of low volatility before the breakout.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged in the late afternoon to over 632,589 at 15:45 ET, coinciding with the sharp price decline. This divergence between volume and price suggests strong bearish conviction. Turnover also spiked during the same period, reaching a high of $473,506.28, indicating increased selling pressure and a potential shift in short-term sentiment.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the key swing from 0.1233 to 0.1315, the 38.2% level at 0.1274 and the 61.8% level at 0.1254 appear critical for near-term price behavior. The current close near 0.1247 is approaching the 61.8% level, suggesting it could act as a key support or pivot point for a potential bounce or further decline.

Backtest Hypothesis

To develop a robust backtest, I attempted to retrieve the 14-period RSI for STGUSDT but encountered an issue with the ticker symbol being unrecognized by the data source. To proceed, I need either a corrected exchange format (e.g., “BINANCE:STGUSDT”), a preferred data provider, or a direct CSV/JSON file of historical prices. Once I can calculate the RSI, I will implement a strategy using buy signals at RSI < 30 and close signals when RSI crosses above 50. This will allow a backtest from January 1, 2022, to today, with performance metrics and visualization.
