The Dash/Tether (DASHUSDT) pair opened at $41.73 at 12:00 ET-1 on October 23, 2025, and closed at $39.69 by 12:00 ET on October 24. During the 24-hour window, it reached a high of $43.46 and a low of $39.51. Total volume traded was 201,427.67 DASH, and the notional turnover amounted to approximately $8,280,000. The price action reflected a bearish bias as it failed to hold key resistance levels, particularly in the late morning hours.

Structure and price formation showed a strong bearish breakdown after midday as DASHUSDT fell below a key 15-minute support at $41.50 and broke below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the prior upward swing. The session ended with a long bearish candle, suggesting exhaustion in the bullish side and renewed bearish control. A notable bearish engulfing pattern formed around 21:00 ET on October 23, further reinforcing the downward bias.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart showed a bearish crossover as the 20-period MA fell below the 50-period MA, adding to the bearish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA was also below the 100-period and 200-period MAs, indicating a broader bearish trend. Price action remained below the 20-period MA for most of the session, confirming short-term bearish alignment.

The MACD showed bearish divergence, with the histogram shrinking before a sharp decline in price, hinting at potential exhaustion in the bullish side. RSI dropped into oversold territory multiple times but failed to generate a strong reversal, suggesting a bearish continuation. Bollinger Bands expanded dramatically after 20:00 ET on October 23, indicating rising volatility and uncertainty in the market. Price remained in the lower half of the bands, reinforcing bearish expectations.

Volume spiked sharply during the late afternoon and early evening hours, with the largest volume spike occurring around 14:30 ET on October 24, as DASHUSDT fell from $41.05 to $40.25. Notional turnover followed the same pattern, confirming the price action. The divergence between price and volume was minimal, meaning the bearish moves were well supported by liquidity. A key divergence occurred after the 09:00 ET bounce, where rising volume failed to push price higher, signaling bearish exhaustion in the short term.

Fibonacci retracement levels confirmed the bearish breakdown as DASHUSDT closed below the 61.8% level from the $39.51 to $43.46 swing, suggesting further downward pressure to the next key support near $38.00. The 38.2% level, which had previously acted as a pivot point, now serves as a potential short-term floor if bears fail to push below $38.00.

The backtest hypothesis aims to identify and act upon Bullish Engulfing candlestick patterns, a key reversal formation often signaling a potential short-term upward trend. Given the recent bearish action on DASHUSDT, a 1-day holding period after a confirmed Bullish Engulfing pattern could offer a strategic entry point for a countertrend trade. However, in the current context, no such pattern was evident during the 24-hour period. Future analysis should confirm the existence of valid Bullish Engulfing signals on a reliable ticker symbol to proceed with the backtest.
