FIO Protocol/Tether (FIOUSDT) opened at $0.01304 on 2025-10-27 at 12:00 ET and closed at $0.01278 one day later. The 24-hour high reached $0.01316, while the low hit $0.01254. Total trading volume was 11,937,635.0, and the notional turnover was approximately $155,610. The price has been in a downward drift, with multiple failed attempts to reclaim key resistance levels.

Over the past 24 hours, FIOUSDT showed a bearish structure, with bearish engulfing and inside bar patterns appearing during key retracement levels. Key resistance appeared at $0.01303–$0.01306, and a notable support zone formed around $0.01276–$0.01278. The price has tested this support multiple times, with mixed volume confirmation. The 50-period moving average on the 15-minute chart is currently below the 20-period line, suggesting a short-term bearish bias.

The MACD crossed into negative territory, indicating bearish momentum, while the RSI moved toward neutral levels. This suggests that the recent bearish move has started to lose strength, though it remains below the key 50 level, pointing to continued bearish pressure. Bollinger Bands expanded significantly in the last 6 hours, as price fell toward the lower band, suggesting heightened volatility and potential for a bounce or further decline.

Fibonacci retracements from the high of $0.01316 to the low of $0.01254 show a 38.2% retracement at $0.01289 and a 61.8% at $0.01275, both of which have been tested recently. The price closed just below the 61.8% level, hinting at a possible continuation of the downtrend. However, the consolidation around $0.01276–$0.01278 could trigger a retest of the 38.2% level if buyers step in.

The backtesting strategy described involves identifying Bearish Engulfing candlestick patterns and using them as potential short signals. Given the current data availability constraints—specifically the absence of the “Bearish Engulfing” indicator for FIOUSDT—we could implement a manual backtest by analyzing raw OHLCV data over the past 24 hours to detect such patterns. The strategy would involve entering a short position at the close of the engulfing candle and exiting the next day. Initial analysis shows multiple potential engulfing patterns in the last 8 hours, especially between 05:15–06:30 ET, which could serve as a basis for testing. This approach, while more time-consuming, would provide a clearer picture of the strategy’s viability on FIOUSDT.
