MovieBloc/Tether (MBLUSDT) opened at 0.001914 on 2025-10-08 at 12:00 ET and closed at 0.002382 by the same time on 2025-10-09. The 24-hour period saw a high of 0.004056 and a low of 0.001912. Total volume traded reached 996,781,690, while notional turnover (volume × price) was approximately $2,382,355.

Structurally, the price formation resembled a classic bearish reversal after a sharp intraday peak near 0.004056. A large-volume candle on 2025-1009 at 02:45 ET marked a high of 0.004056, then swiftly sold off to 0.002407, forming a bearish engulfing pattern. This was followed by a consolidation phase in a descending channel, with key support levels forming near 0.002320–0.002325 and 0.002250. Resistance levels were noted at 0.002440 and 0.002480–0.002490.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart crossed bearishly post-02:45 ET, confirming the reversal. On a daily basis, the 50-period and 200-period lines were both bearish, with price below both. MACD turned negative after 03:00 ET, and the histogram showed a sharp bearish divergence from price, particularly after 04:00 ET. RSI peaked near 80 on 2025-1009 at 02:45 ET and quickly declined to below 40, indicating strong bearish momentum.

Bollinger Bands showed a clear expansion during the sharp intraday peak and contraction in the later consolidation phase. Price closed near the lower band on 2025-1009 at 12:00 ET, suggesting a potential oversold condition. Fibonacci retracement levels from the 0.001912–0.004056 swing showed key levels at 0.003245 (38.2%) and 0.002622 (61.8%), with the current close at 0.002382 indicating a potential pullback test to the 0.002440 level.

Volume was abnormally high during the sell-off after 02:45 ET, with a single candle accounting for 976,546,783 of the total volume. This suggests a coordinated large-scale sell-off, possibly by institutional or algorithmic actors. Turnover was also disproportionately high during the peak, indicating strong short-term speculative interest. However, volume and turnover diverged in the afternoon, with declining turnover despite continued bearish price movement, suggesting a loss of conviction in the downward trend.

Looking ahead, the next 24 hours could see a consolidation phase between 0.002320 and 0.002480. A break above 0.002490 may trigger a retest of the 0.002610–0.002620 resistance cluster, while a breakdown below 0.002320 could extend the bearish move toward 0.002250–0.002270. Traders should remain cautious of volatile swings and potential short-covering near key support levels.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy involves entering a short position on a bearish engulfing pattern confirmed by a cross below the 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart. A stop-loss is placed at the high of the engulfing pattern, while a take-profit is set at the next Fibonacci retracement level (38.2% or 61.8%). Given the pattern observed on 2025-1009 at 02:45 ET, this strategy would have triggered a short trade at 0.002407–0.004056 with a stop at 0.004056 and a target of 0.002440–0.002320. This approach relies on the assumption that the market will continue to respect key Fibonacci and moving average levels, making it suitable for short-term traders with a low-latency execution model.
