Price Action and Structure
Decred/Tether (DCRUSDT) opened at $37.25 on 2025-11-06 at 12:00 ET and surged to a high of $39.2 before reversing sharply to close near $29.91 on 2025-11-07 at 12:00 ET. The 24-hour session saw a low of $28.41 and ended with bearish exhaustion patterns like long lower shadows and bearish engulfing candles. A critical support level appears to have formed around $35.0 after repeated tests.
Volatility and Trend Indicators
Volatility spiked during the selloff, with Bollinger Bands widening significantly. Price closed below the 20-period moving average and far under the 50-period line, indicating a strong bearish trend. The 50/100/200-day moving averages are aligned in a descending order, reinforcing the downtrend.
Momentum and Sentiment
The 14-period RSI collapsed from overbought levels into the 20–30 range, suggesting potential oversold conditions, though the price continued to fall. The MACD histogram turned negative, with the line crossing below the signal line, confirming bearish momentum.
Volume and Turnover
Volume surged during the selloff, with the largest 15-minute bar showing 13,625.934 DCR traded at $32.90. Turnover spiked as price broke below key psychological levels. However, a divergence appears between volume and price: the most recent bearish moves were accompanied by strong volume, but buying interest has been thin during attempted bounces.
Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy described requires identifying historical RSI oversold events (e.g., when RSI dips below 30) to evaluate potential reversal opportunities. Given the current limitations in accessing RSI data for DCRUSDT, the strategy cannot be fully applied unless the correct ticker symbol is confirmed (e.g., BINANCE:DCRUSDT) or specific RSI-oversold dates are provided. With accurate data, a backtest could reveal the historical success rate of entering long positions at RSI < 30 and exiting near 50 or at the next support/resistance level.
Forward-Looking View and Risk Caution
The pair may continue testing $35.0 and could break this level, with the next key support at $33.0. While RSI suggests a potential bounce, the lack of follow-through buying raises the risk of a deeper correction. Investors should monitor volume and price alignment at the next support to determine if a reversal is forming.
