Structure & Formations
The 24-hour OHLCV data showed a bearish bias, with a high of 0.2821 failing to hold, leading to a pullback that settled below 0.2796. A bearish engulfing pattern emerged at 0.2803–0.2798, followed by a long-legged doji near 0.2796–0.2794, signaling indecision. Resistance clustered between 0.2802–0.2814, while support formed between 0.2794–0.2778. Fibonacci retracement levels on the 0.2821–0.2744 swing indicated key levels at 0.2786 (38.2%) and 0.2767 (61.8%), with price closing near the latter.
Trend & Moving Averages
Price action remained below both 20- and 50-period SMAs on the 5-minute chart for the majority of the day, suggesting short-term bearish momentum. On the daily chart, no 50/100/200 SMA data was provided for today, but the 24-hour close at 0.2769 implies a potential test of the 200-day line if it was above that level.
Momentum & Volatility

The RSI reached overbought territory early in the session but fell to neutral levels by the end, confirming a pullback. MACD showed bearish divergence with a negative histogram that deepened after 0.2796, supporting the downward move. Bollinger Bands tightened before the breakdown at 0.2796–0.2788, then expanded as volatility increased.
Volume & Turnover
Volume surged during the breakdown from 0.2796–0.2778, with a 108,488.2 volume candle at 23:30 ET indicating significant bearish participation. However, the final 12 hours showed declining volume despite continued price decay, hinting at possible exhaustion in the short term. Turnover aligned with volume surges, confirming price movements.
DIA/Tether may continue to test key Fibonacci levels and could find support near 0.2767. A break below 0.2753 could trigger further downside, though the lack of follow-through volume on the final leg down may limit immediate bearish momentum. Investors should remain cautious as volatility remains elevated and trend confirmation is pending.
