Dash/Tether (DASHUSDT) opened at $33.91 on 2025-10-03 at 16:00 ET and closed at $31.55 on 2025-10-04 at 12:00 ET, with a high of $34.52 and a low of $30.80 over the 24-hour period. Total volume reached 157,608.13 DASH, and turnover totaled $5,025,000 in USDT, reflecting strong bearish conviction.

The 15-minute OHLCV data shows a clear bearish bias with price breaking below key support levels around $32.50 and $31.80. A deep pullback from $34.52 to $30.80 has formed a bearish channel, with a potential target near $30.50 based on Fibonacci extensions. Notable patterns include a bearish engulfing pattern at $33.91–$33.90 and a trend continuation pattern as bearish momentum has been consistent post-breakout. A doji formed near $31.55, indicating a potential short-term pause in the downtrend.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart show DASHUSDT below both the 20-EMA and 50-EMA, confirming bearish bias. Daily moving averages (50/100/200) also remain bearish, with the price below all three. The 200-day MA currently sits at ~$33.20, suggesting further downside risk if current bearish momentum persists.

MACD turned negative, with the histogram expanding as bearish momentum increased. RSI dipped into oversold territory (~25), hinting at potential near-term consolidation or a short rally. However, this oversold condition has yet to trigger a strong reversal, indicating a potential test of lower support levels.

Bollinger Bands expanded during the decline, with price currently trading below the lower band at ~$30.40, suggesting heightened volatility and potential for a bounce from this level. However, the move below $31.80 and the sustained pressure indicate that a retest of $30.00 is not out of the question.

Notional volume and turnover spiked during the late-night and early morning hours (ET), aligning with the breakdown below key support levels. The increased volume with falling prices suggests strong bearish conviction rather than a false break.

Fibonacci retracements of the key $33.90 to $31.55 move suggest that 38.2% (around $32.87) and 61.8% (around $31.34) are potential levels for short-term resistance. A bounce from the 61.8% level could lead to a retest of $32.00 if the RSI and MACD confirm a short-term bottom.

The backtesting strategy relies on RSI divergence and Bollinger Band contractions to identify potential turning points. Given the current oversold RSI and price near the lower band, this strategy may signal a short-term trade opportunity, albeit with caution given the strong bearish trend. The engulfing and doji patterns may also support this approach, making the strategy well-aligned with recent technical behavior.
