Avantis/Tether (AVNTUSDT) opened at $0.5336 on November 8 at 17:00 ET, hit a high of $0.5390, and closed the 24-hour period at $0.5178. The pair recorded a total volume of 216302.3 AVNT and a notional turnover of $111,490.61, reflecting heightened activity amid a sharp sell-off and subsequent partial recovery.

Over the 24 hours, AVNTUSDT displayed a bearish bias with a significant decline in the first half of the session. Price tested key support levels around $0.5128 and $0.5160, showing some rejection through volume expansion and a bearish engulfing pattern. A long lower wick on the 02:45–03:00 candle suggested early buyers attempted to defend the $0.5143 level, but pressure continued to dominate until a modest rebound emerged in the final hours.

On the 15-minute chart, a 20-period and 50-period moving average confirmed bearish momentum, with the short-term MA (20) well below the longer-term (50). The RSI dipped below 30, indicating oversold conditions, while the MACD showed a negative crossover into bearish territory. Bollinger Bands revealed a recent contraction, signaling a potential setup for a breakout, though the price remained well below the 20-period band’s lower end, suggesting low volatility and bearish bias.

Volume distribution emphasized heavy selling between 19:30 and 03:00 ET, with a particularly large candle at 19:30 recording a $0.5192 close from an open of $0.5273. The subsequent 19:45 candle confirmed further weakness with a 0.94% decline. While the 06:15–06:30 candle showed a brief reversal attempt, volume on the rebound was relatively weak, casting doubt on the strength of the recovery.

Fibonacci retracement levels for the 24-hour swing placed key levels at 38.2% ($0.5228) and 61.8% ($0.5153), both of which were tested and partially rejected. The 61.8% level appears to be the immediate key area to watch for a potential bounce or breakdown in the coming 24 hours.
