The DeXe/Tether (DEXEUSDT) pair opened at $6.034 on 2025-11-05 at 12:00 ET and closed at $5.84 on 2025-11-06 at 12:00 ET, reaching a high of $6.236 and a low of $5.786. Total volume over the 24-hour period was 68,742.49 units, with a notional turnover of $399,523.73. The sharp sell-off emerged from late afternoon ET, where price dropped nearly $0.40 in a few 15-minute candles, signaling potential exhaustion among bullish participants and increased bearish control.

Structure & Formations

Price formed a bearish engulfing pattern around 2025-11-05 19:00 ET, where a large bear candle engulfed the previous bullish candle. This confirmed a potential trend reversal. A notable 5.95–5.97 support level held briefly before breaking late in the session. The 6.01–6.04 range acted as resistance earlier in the day, and now may act as a key psychological floor for rebounds.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA was bearishly positioned below the 50-period MA, reflecting the recent downtrend. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA sits above the 200-period MA, suggesting a medium-term bearish bias. Price has closed below all key moving averages, reinforcing the likelihood of further downside in the near term.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line turned sharply negative with the signal line crossing downward, indicating strong bearish momentum. RSI fell into oversold territory (around 30), suggesting a potential short-term bounce, but the depth and velocity of the sell-off indicate a possible continuation lower. A bearish divergence between price and RSI suggests further weakness is likely.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded during the sell-off, with the Bollinger Bands widening significantly. Price closed near the lower band at 5.84, suggesting overselling. A retest of the lower band could trigger a short-term bounce, but a sustained break below the lower band would signal increased bearish pressure and potential for lower levels.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the late ET sell-off, particularly between 16:45 ET and 17:00 ET, where over 14,000 units changed hands. Notional turnover also spiked during this period, confirming the strength of the bearish move. However, divergences between volume and price declines (especially after 17:00 ET) hint at exhaustion, though this may not be enough to reverse the trend immediately.

Fibonacci Retracements

Key Fibonacci levels from the recent 6.236 high to 5.84 low include 38.2% at ~5.98, 50% at ~5.94, and 61.8% at ~5.90. Price may find temporary support at 5.94–5.98 before testing the next level. A break below 5.84 could target the 5.78–5.75 range, especially if volatility remains elevated.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the bearish engulfing pattern observed on the 15-minute chart, a potential backtesting strategy could involve entering a short position at the close of that candle and exiting at the next candle’s close. If applied consistently during similar setups over a defined time frame, this approach may offer insights into its viability under various market conditions. Additional risk controls, such as a stop-loss or take-profit level, could refine the strategy’s risk-reward profile.
