Dogecoin/Tether (DOGEUSDT) opened at 0.16759 on 2025-11-05 at 12:00 ET and closed at 0.16304 on 2025-11-06 at 12:00 ET, with a high of 0.16886 and a low of 0.16105. The 24-hour total volume was 305,822,192 DOGE, with a notional turnover of approximately $49.8 million.

The price action unfolded in a bearish spiral from a midday high of 0.16886, with a sharp 15-minute bearish engulfing pattern at 19:00 ET and a key breakdown below 0.1670. This led to a test of 0.1640 and ultimately to a 24-hour low of 0.16105. The 20-period and 50-period SMAs on the 15-minute chart have been bearishly aligned for much of the period, with price staying consistently below both. On the daily chart, the 50/100/200 SMAs are in a descending order, reinforcing the bearish bias.

The RSI has entered oversold territory (below 30) for most of the last 6 hours, and while this could suggest a short-term bounce, the lack of follow-through volume and the continued dominance of bearish candlesticks indicate that a sustained reversal is unlikely without a meaningful break above 0.1650. The MACD has been negative, with a bearish crossover in the afternoon of 2025-11-05, and the histogram has been shrinking since the mid-night low on 2025-11-06.

Bollinger Bands have expanded significantly since the breakdown from 0.1670–0.1680, with price trading near the lower band. This suggests increased volatility but also a lack of conviction in the short-term direction. Volume spiked during the key breakdown from 0.1670–0.1650 but has since moderated, with notional turnover failing to confirm any strong reversal attempt.

Fibonacci levels derived from the recent swing high of 0.16886 and the low of 0.16105 show 0.1631 (38.2%) as an immediate support, with 0.1621 (61.8%) as a key level to watch. A close below 0.1620 could see further tests of the 0.1600–0.1580 zone.

The current technical conditions suggest a continuation of the bearish trend over the next 24 hours, with a probable test of 0.1620–0.1600. Traders should remain cautious of a potential short-covering bounce around 0.1630–0.1635 but watch for volume confirmation to avoid false signals. A sharp break above 0.1645 could trigger a retest of 0.1650–0.1660, but this is unlikely without a shift in market sentiment and increased buying interest.

Backtest Hypothesis
The RSI-14-based strategy outlined in the provided description could be applied to DOGE/USDT over this 24-hour period to test its efficacy in a short-term bearish environment. An oversold signal would have occurred when RSI dipped below 30, potentially signaling a bounce. However, the bearish bias, confirmed by the 20/50 SMAs and MACD, suggests that such a signal may have resulted in a short-lived rebound rather than a sustained reversal. For a more practical backtest, the RSI would be combined with volume confirmation—only entering on a rebound if volume increases, which was not the case here. A 40-level RSI exit point might have captured minor profits, but the larger trend would have dictated a net loss over the period.
