The 24-hour candle for xUSD/Tether (XUSDUSDT) opened at 0.9997 on October 10, 2025, reached a high of 1.0053, and a low of 0.9985, closing at 0.9991 as of 12:00 ET on October 11.

Underlying structure reveals a key support zone forming around 0.9991–0.9993, where price has repeatedly tested and bounced from in the early hours of October 11. A minor bearish engulfing pattern emerged at 02:30 ET as price opened at 0.9986 and closed at 0.9987 after reaching 0.999, hinting at short-term bearish pressure. Conversely, a bullish harami pattern formed at 08:30 ET as price opened at 0.9993 and closed the same, with a smaller candle inside the previous one. This suggests indecision and potential for reversal if volume increases. No clear doji or strong reversal patterns emerged, but the market has shown a reluctance to break out above the 1.0033–1.0053 resistance cluster.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart indicate price is trading above the 20-period and 50-period SMA, but both are flattening, signaling reduced bullish momentum. The 50-period MA is currently at approximately 0.9992, slightly below the current price. On the daily chart, the 50- and 100-period MAs remain closely aligned, reinforcing the sideways trend. The 200-period MA sits at 0.9991, coinciding with recent support, which could provide a floor if bearish momentum reemerges.

MACD remains in neutral territory, with the line and signal line crossing at zero, reflecting balanced buying and selling pressure. The histogram is shrinking, suggesting that the market may be entering a period of consolidation or a potential breakout. RSI is hovering near 49, indicating that the asset is neither overbought nor oversold, but the lack of directional movement could signal the onset of a larger move. Bollinger Bands are currently compressed, suggesting a period of low volatility may end soon. Price is currently sitting just below the lower band, which could be a sign of oversold conditions or a setup for a bearish continuation.

Volume and notional turnover spiked sharply between 06:15 ET and 06:30 ET, coinciding with a brief bullish push to 1.0033, but failed to follow through. This divergence between price and volume suggests that the move was not backed by strong conviction, and the failure to hold above 1.0000 afterward has reinforced the bearish bias. The largest single-volume bar occurred at 06:15 ET with 1,702,439 volume, but the price closed at 0.9999 and then drifted downward. This could signal a false breakout or exhaustion.

Fibonacci retracement levels based on the recent 1.0053 high and 0.9985 low show key retracement levels at 0.9993 (38.2%) and 0.9989 (61.8%). Price has tested the 0.9993 level multiple times in the early hours of October 11 and bounced, suggesting it could serve as a pivot for near-term buyers. On the other hand, the 0.9989 level remains untested but is likely to be a key area for further bearish breakdown if volume increases.
