Dash/Tether (DASHUSDT) opened at $52.10 on October 12 at 12:00 ET and closed at $50.26 at the same time on October 13. During the 24-hour period, the pair reached a high of $59.47 and a low of $49.44. Total volume traded was approximately 535,765 DASH, with notional turnover reaching around $27.9 million.

The 15-minute chart showed a volatile bearish trend, with a strong break below key support levels. A significant bearish divergence emerged in the late hours of October 12, with price breaking below the 50.53 level—a critical Fibonacci 61.8% retracement from a prior rally. The 20-period moving average turned downward, aligning with the 50-period, reinforcing the bearish tilt. The 50-period SMA currently sits above 53.00, indicating ongoing downward momentum.

MACD turned negative during the session, confirming a shift in momentum toward the bears. RSI dipped into oversold territory near 30 following the sharp drop, suggesting potential for a short-term pullback. However, the bearish bias remains intact given the sustained move below the 20 and 50-period moving averages. Bollinger Bands showed a period of contraction before the sharp drop, followed by an expansion that placed price near the lower band. This suggests the move was part of a larger bearish breakout.

Volume spiked to over 85,000 DASH during key breakouts, particularly after 12:00 ET as price dropped below 50.53. The volume-to-price divergence was minimal, indicating strong conviction in the bearish move. Fibonacci levels at 51.69 and 50.53 were tested and broken during the session, with the 49.44 level now offering initial support ahead of the 48.70 level. A potential bounce from this level could lead to a retracement toward the 50.00–51.00 range before resuming the downward bias.

Backtest Hypothesis
The data suggests that a bearish breakout strategy could have been triggered during the early afternoon of October 12 as price broke below the 52.58 level. A sell signal at that point would align with a Head & Shoulders neckline break and could be a viable backtest strategy. Given the pattern and volume confirmation, a trailing stop at 53.22 or 53.50 would have offered risk management. To evaluate this strategy’s profitability, a backtest using historical price data is necessary. If you provide a list of crypto pairs (e.g., altcoins or specific stablecoin pairs) and a date range, I can implement this strategy and calculate performance metrics such as win rate, average return, and maximum drawdown.
