Structure & Formations

The price of Treehouse/Tether has formed a bearish breakdown pattern from a recent consolidation range, with a key support level at 0.2561 now in focus. A large bearish candle on the 15-minute chart on September 25, with a high of 0.2634 and a low of 0.2593, suggests strong seller pressure. A potential bearish engulfing pattern developed in the final hours of the NY session, confirming a shift in sentiment. A key resistance level is at 0.2673, and a retest is likely in the short term. A breakdown below 0.2561 would suggest a possible move toward 0.2551, a level that could attract further selling interest.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are both trending lower, suggesting bearish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA is above the 100-period MA, indicating a medium-term downtrend. The 200-period MA has been a strong bearish reference, with price testing it multiple times in the last few days and failing to hold. If the price continues to trend downward, the 50-period MA could act as a dynamic resistance level for a possible bounce or retest.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line has crossed below the signal line, indicating bearish momentum. The RSI has fallen below 30, suggesting the pair may be in an oversold territory, but given the recent sharp decline, a rebound is unlikely unless there is a clear reversal sign. The divergence between price and RSI suggests that the bearish move could continue for a while, with a potential overbought move only expected if there is a sharp reversal. Both indicators point to a continuation of the current bearish trend unless there is a strong bullish catalyst.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands are currently wide, reflecting the high volatility seen over the past 24 hours. The price has moved below the lower band multiple times, indicating a strong bearish trend. A contraction of the bands is unlikely in the near term unless the price stabilizes. The width of the bands suggests that traders should be cautious of further downward moves. A break above the upper band is not expected in the immediate term, with the current bearish environment maintaining pressure on the price.

Volume & Turnover

Volume increased significantly during the bearish breakdown, especially in the candle that closed at 0.2596 on September 25. This supports the bearish narrative, as higher volume during a downtrend typically indicates stronger conviction from sellers. Turnover also spiked during this period, confirming the strength of the bearish move. There is no divergence between price and volume, reinforcing the view that the current bearish trend is well-supported. A sudden increase in volume on a bullish candle could signal a reversal, but as of now, no such signs are visible.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the recent 15-minute swing from 0.2774 to 0.2561, the 61.8% level is at 0.2643, very close to the current price. A breakdown below 0.2561 would bring the 38.2% level at 0.2667 into focus as a potential support level. On the daily chart, the 50% and 61.8% levels are at 0.2673 and 0.2716, respectively, indicating that these levels could act as resistance if the price attempts a bounce. The current price is at a key Fibonacci level, and a break below it could accelerate the bearish move.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy described aims to capture momentum in both directions using a combination of moving averages and RSI levels. By aligning with the bearish momentum observed over the past 24 hours, traders could implement a short bias when the RSI dips below 30 and the 20-period MA crosses below the 50-period MA. This setup could be tested against historical price swings and volume spikes to confirm its viability. The current conditions on the 15-minute chart suggest that the strategy could be well-suited for a short-term bearish trade.
