Flamingo/Tether (FLMUSDT) opened at 0.0284 on 2025-09-24 at 12:00 ET, reached a high of 0.0285, and a low of 0.0258 before closing at 0.0264 on 2025-09-25 at 12:00 ET. Total trading volume was 14,935,868.0, with a notional turnover of approximately $396,288. The pair showed a bearish bias throughout the day, with price action consolidating below key moving averages.

On the 15-minute chart, FLMUSDT faced strong resistance at 0.028 and broke below it in a bearish fashion, with a clear failure at the 0.0284–0.0285 level. A bearish engulfing pattern developed around the 2025-09-24 18:00 candle, followed by a doji at 0.0276, indicating indecision. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages were both above price action, reinforcing the bearish sentiment. The daily chart shows the 50, 100, and 200-period moving averages also trending higher, suggesting a longer-term bearish bias.

The RSI dropped below 30 by 2025-09-25 at 06:00, indicating oversold conditions, though it has yet to reverse decisively. MACD crossed into negative territory and remained bearish, with no signs of bullish divergence. Bollinger Bands widened during the sharp move from 0.0278 to 0.0263, signaling increased volatility. Price has spent most of the 24-hour window below the lower band, suggesting a continuation of the bearish trend.

Volume was concentrated in the bearish moves, especially between 2025-09-24 18:00 and 2025-09-25 05:00, where large-volume bearish candles occurred. However, the lack of a significant increase in volume during the final leg down to 0.0263 suggests possible exhaustion. The notional turnover spiked during the 03:00–05:00 ET window but declined afterward. Price and turnover divergence raises questions about conviction in the move lower. Fibonacci retracements suggest that 0.0263 (38.2% retracement of the 0.0258–0.0285 swing) could offer a near-term floor, with 0.0275–0.028 as the first potential resistance cluster.

The bearish bias appears to have more room to the downside, with 0.0263 as the immediate support level. A close above 0.0275 may indicate a short-term reversal, but a retest of the 0.0263–0.0264 range is likely in the near term. Investors should remain cautious about further downside volatility, especially with the RSI near oversold levels and the MACD still bearish.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy described involves a mean-reversion approach using RSI and Bollinger Bands on the 15-minute chart. When RSI falls below 30 and price is below the lower Bollinger Band, the strategy enters a long position with a stop loss just below the recent swing low and a target at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. The data suggests that during the current 24-hour period, two such setups occurred (at 0.0275 and 0.0265), both of which saw limited success due to continued bearish pressure. The strategy may be refined by including volume as a confirmation filter—only entering trades when volume increases with the bounce. This could help filter out false signals and improve risk-adjusted returns in volatile conditions like the ones observed in this time frame.
