Contentos/Tether (COSUSDT) opened at $0.00209 on October 24 at 12:00 ET, surged to a 24-hour high of $0.002161, and closed at $0.002136 by the same time on October 25. The 24-hour volume amounted to approximately 456.7 million contracts, with a notional turnover of $986,178. Price action revealed a volatile session, with a sharp bearish reversal visible after the $0.002161 peak.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart remained in bullish alignment during much of the session, supporting the upward move. However, as the session progressed and price action pulled back, the 50-period MA showed signs of catching up, hinting at a potential bearish crossover. The daily chart’s 50-period, 100-period, and 200-period MAs remained in a bullish configuration, indicating a longer-term upward bias.

The RSI indicator briefly entered overbought territory (above 70) during the morning spike, followed by a divergence between price and momentum as the session wore on. The MACD line showed a bearish crossover of the signal line in the late hours of the session, indicating a waning of bullish momentum. Bollinger Bands widened during the early surge, reflecting rising volatility, while the final 2–3 hours showed a contraction, suggesting a potential consolidation phase ahead.

Key support levels were identified at $0.002130 and $0.002120, with resistance expected at $0.002150 and $0.002165. Volume surged notably during the $0.00214–$0.00216 range, confirming the strength of the breakout. However, divergences between price and volume in the late hours raised caution. A bullish breakout above $0.002165 may target $0.002185, while a breakdown below $0.002130 could test the $0.002120 level.

Fibonacci retracement levels from the key intra-day swing high at $0.002161 to the low at $0.002132 provided critical insights. The 38.2% retracement level sat at $0.002146, which held briefly as a minor support, and the 61.8% level at $0.002153, which acted as a resistance. These levels suggest that a continuation above $0.002153 could lead to a retest of the high at $0.002161 or beyond, while a breakdown below $0.002146 could signal a deeper correction.

Backtest Hypothesis
A potential backtesting strategy could be built around the divergence observed between price and RSI, as well as the bearish MACD crossover in the late hours. For example, one could look to enter short positions upon a close below the 20-period moving average on the 15-minute chart, particularly when RSI is above 70. A stop-loss could be placed above the next swing high, while a target could be set at the 38.2% or 61.8% Fibonacci levels. To refine the strategy, further parameters such as entry timing (at close or next open), exit rules (next close or profit/loss thresholds), and risk controls (e.g., max holding periods or stop-loss distances) would need to be defined based on historical performance.
