The Curve DAO Token/Tether pair (CRVUSDT) opened at 0.491 on 2025-10-31 12:00 ET and closed at 0.4825 on 2025-11-01 12:00 ET. The price moved between a high of 0.4938 and a low of 0.4742 over the past 24 hours. Total volume was approximately 42.5 million contracts, while notional turnover came in at $20.8 million, with notable activity in the 15–18-hour ET window.

The chart shows a bearish breakdown from prior resistance and a test of multi-hour support levels. The pattern suggests exhaustion of sellers after the 0.4742 low, as buyers intervened with a gradual retest toward 0.4839. However, the rally appears to lack conviction, as the 0.4851 level has repeatedly capped upward moves. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-min chart are currently bearish and descending, while the 50-day and 200-day daily SMAs (not calculated here) would likely reinforce the longer-term downtrend context.

The RSI(14) reached a near-oversold level during the 0.4742 low, suggesting a potential short-term buying opportunity. However, the RSI failed to close above 40 during the subsequent rebound, which weakens the signal’s strength. MACD remains bearish, with the line below the signal line and both declining. The histogram has been shrinking during the partial rebound, indicating that bearish momentum may be waning, but caution is warranted as the MACD has not yet crossed back into positive territory.

Bollinger Bands have contracted moderately as the price trades near the lower band, pointing to potential for a mean reversion or breakout. The 38.2% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels from the most recent swing low to high align near 0.479 and 0.485, respectively, both of which have acted as immediate resistance and support. These levels may be key for near-term directional clarity.

The volume profile shows a sharp spike during the initial breakdown phase, which is a bearish confirmation, but the volume during the rebound has been relatively anemic. This divergence could suggest the move lower is losing steam. However, a continuation break below the 0.4742 level would likely require renewed selling pressure and increased volume to confirm a new leg down.

Looking ahead, the price may attempt to consolidate near the 0.480–0.482 level, with a potential retest of the 0.4742 level in the near term if risk appetite wanes further. Traders should monitor for a break above 0.485 for more constructive bias, but a break below 0.474 could trigger deeper bearish momentum. Investors should remain cautious, as the pair appears to be in a tight trading range with limited directional momentum.

Backtest Hypothesis

The recent RSI behavior highlights the potential for a short-term reversal, though with limited strength. Given the incomplete RSI data for the backtesting strategy, the focus on CRV/USDT provides a relevant case for evaluating overbought and oversold levels using its 15-min chart. To proceed with the backtest, we would calculate RSI locally from the raw OHLCV data provided. The strategy would identify RSI dips below 30 as buy signals and exit at the end of the next 24-hour period. A backtest from 2022-01-01 to the present would require a dataset covering that period, but the principles observed in this 24-hour window suggest that such a strategy might capture oversold buying opportunities. However, the bearish momentum and lack of follow-through buying in this time frame indicate that success may depend on a broader bullish catalyst or improved liquidity dynamics.
