Prom/Tether (PROMUSDT) opened at $10.609 on 2025-11-04 at 12:00 ET, reached a high of $11.20, and closed at $10.205 as of 12:00 ET on 2025-11-05. The total trading volume over the 24-hour window was 109,849.67 units, while the notional turnover amounted to $1,121,195.32. Price action displayed significant bearish momentum, with a large sell-off unfolding after the price touched its intraday high.

Structure and formations suggest that key support levels were tested, particularly around the $10.30–$10.40 range, while resistance levels at $10.60 and $10.80 had already been overwhelmed by earlier bearish pressure. A notable bearish engulfing pattern formed after the $11.20 high, signaling increased seller control. This was followed by a long lower shadow candle at $10.406, indicating some short-term hesitation among traders.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart remained bearish, with the 20SMA crossing below the 50SMA to signal a potential downward trend. MACD showed a bearish crossover, with the histogram shrinking slightly in the negative territory, suggesting that momentum might be losing steam. RSI remained in the 45–50 range, indicating a neutral to slightly bearish sentiment with no overbought or oversold conditions present. Bollinger Bands widened significantly during the sell-off phase, highlighting elevated volatility as price broke below the lower band and remained there, suggesting a continuation of the downward trend.

Volume and notional turnover data showed a marked divergence from price movement during the recovery phase, where price attempted a rebound while volume remained subdued. This hints at weak conviction among buyers and a possible continuation of the bearish trend. Fibonacci retracement levels drawn from the $10.20 low to the $11.20 high indicated that $10.72 and $10.46 were critical psychological levels that failed to hold.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy outlined assumes a short-term sell bias based on bearish engulfing patterns detected over a 15-minute timeframe. If the system had executed a short at the close of the engulfing candle on 2025-11-04 at 22:30 (closing at $10.856), the trade would have captured the downward move to $10.205 by 12:00 ET on 2025-11-05. Given the high volatility and large price swing, such a strategy may offer strong returns, but also carries significant risk. A refined version of this strategy would incorporate stop-loss levels based on key Fibonacci or Bollinger Band levels to manage risk effectively.

The forward-looking view suggests that near-term buyers may test support near $10.20 and $10.15, but without a clear reversal pattern or volume confirmation, further bearish pressure remains probable. Investors should remain cautious of short-term rebounds and consider hedging exposure given the lack of clear directional momentum.
