Summary
• Price consolidated around 0.520-0.525 cluster, with failed breakouts above 0.525 and below 0.517.
• Volume surged near key levels, confirming 0.520 as a magnet for buying interest.
• RSI indicated overbought conditions twice, but bullish momentum failed to sustain.

Dego Finance/Tether (DEGOUSDT) opened at 0.520 on 2026-01-07 12:00 ET, traded as high as 0.530, as low as 0.509, and closed at 0.524 by 2026-01-08 12:00 ET. Total volume reached 353,805.61, while notional turnover hit $186,445.45 over 24 hours.
Price action showed a clear consolidation pattern between 0.517 and 0.525. A bullish engulfing pattern formed at 0.518 on the early morning 5-minute candles, followed by a failed breakout above 0.525. The 0.520 level acted as a strong support, repeatedly tested and held.

On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages converged around 0.521–0.522, suggesting a short-term equilibrium. MACD lines showed divergences after the 06:00 ET rally, hinting at waning bullish momentum. The RSI peaked near overbought territory (70+) at 08:15 ET and again at 09:15 ET, but failed to follow through with sustained gains, pointing to potential exhaustion.
Bollinger Bands tightened significantly between 03:00 and 06:00 ET, suggesting a period of low volatility and potential for a breakout. The 9:00–12:00 ET period saw a widening of bands, indicating rising volatility. Notional turnover spiked during the 09:15–09:30 ET rally and again at 10:45 ET, aligning with sharp price moves. However, volume failed to confirm the strength of the 09:15 ET breakout, hinting at possible profit-taking or short-covering.
Looking ahead, the next 24 hours could see a decisive move if the 0.525 resistance level is convincingly breached or retested with strong volume. Investors should remain cautious of volatility expansion and potential divergence in momentum indicators.
