Terra Classic/Tether (LUNCUSDT) opened at $0.00005580 at 12:00 ET-1 and drifted lower over the next 24 hours, reaching a low of $0.00005521 before closing at $0.00005611 at 12:00 ET. The pair traded between $0.00005521 and $0.00005715 during the period, with a total volume of 57.67 billion contracts and a notional turnover of approximately $3.23 billion. The price action reflected a bearish bias, with sellers gaining control after 19:00 ET.
Structure and candlestick patterns over the 15-minute chart indicated a lack of bullish conviction. A long bearish shadow emerged during the 17:15–17:30 ET window, followed by a bearish engulfing pattern at the 19:15–19:30 ET timeframe, confirming a shift in momentum. Key support levels include the 0.00005521 24-hour low and the 0.00005540 psychological round number, while resistance levels are at 0.00005635 and 0.00005670. A reversal pattern forming at these levels would be a strong sign of stabilization.
The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart both remained above price, reinforcing the short-term downtrend. On the daily chart, the 50-period and 200-period moving averages showed a bearish crossover, further aligning with the prevailing bearish bias. The RSI indicator hovered below 30 for much of the session, indicating oversold conditions, though the MACD showed a negative divergence with price, signaling that bearish momentum could persist despite the low RSI.
Bollinger Bands reflected increasing volatility, particularly after 09:00 ET as the bands expanded. Price action moved closer to the lower band during the 23:30–00:00 ET window, indicating heightened bearish pressure. A potential bounce from the lower band in the morning session could indicate a short-term reversal, but a break below the current support would likely extend the downward trajectory. The 24-hour period closed with a tightening of bands, suggesting that a breakout may be imminent.

The notional turnover spiked during the 00:00–00:15 ET window, reaching $6.89 billion, but failed to produce a bullish reversal. A divergence between volume and price was noted during the 18:30–19:00 ET period, where volume increased but price continued to fall. This suggests lingering bearish sentiment. Fibonacci retracements from the high of $0.00005715 to the low of $0.00005521 indicated key levels at 38.2% ($0.00005623) and 61.8% ($0.00005566), both of which are currently being tested. A close above 0.00005635 could retest the 20-period moving average.

The price of LUNCUSDT is likely to remain under bearish pressure in the near term, with a potential test of the 0.00005521 level. A bullish reversal could emerge if the 0.00005635 resistance is cleared and confirmed by volume. Investors should monitor for any divergence in momentum indicators and look for key support and resistance levels to hold. A failure to retest the 0.00005635 level would likely extend the bearish trend, with a target near 0.00005500.

Backtest Hypothesis
The provided backtesting strategy could be applied to the observed bearish momentum by entering short positions when the 15-minute RSI dips below 30, paired with a bearish engulfing or a long lower shadow candle. A stop-loss could be placed just above the 20-period moving average. Given the current price action and volume patterns, this strategy could find validation in the near term, particularly if the 0.00005521 level holds. The oversold condition suggests a potential bounce, but a breakout below 0.00005521 could confirm a continuation of the downtrend, aligning with the strategy’s risk-reward framework.
