FC Porto Fan Token/Tether (PORTOUSDT) opened at 1.03 on 2025-09-20 12:00 ET, reached a high of 1.045, and closed at 1.030 by 2025-09-21 12:00 ET. The pair traded within a 24-hour range of 1.022 to 1.045, with a total volume of 141,933.32 and turnover of $146,379.74. Price action suggests a mix of bullish momentum and bearish correction.

The price structure shows multiple key support and resistance levels during the 24-hour period. Resistance appears to cluster around 1.042–1.045, where the price stalled and reversed multiple times. Support is forming around 1.030 and 1.027, with several candles closing near these levels. A notable bearish engulfing pattern formed around 1.042–1.039 in the early hours, suggesting exhaustion of the rally. A doji around 1.029 at 02:30 ET signals indecision, while a morning star-like reversal pattern appears at 1.022–1.027, hinting at a potential bounce.

The 15-minute chart shows the 20-period MA at 1.035 and the 50-period MA at 1.033, with the price oscillating around these levels. The MACD line turned negative after the 1.045 high, indicating a shift in momentum to the downside. RSI peaked at 75 during the upward move and has since retreated below 50, suggesting the pair may consolidate before any further directional move. The 14-period RSI remains in neutral territory, with no strong overbought or oversold signals at the moment.

Bollinger Bands showed a significant expansion during the 06:00–07:30 ET rally, with price reaching the upper band at 1.045. Since then, volatility has contracted, and the price now hovers just above the lower band at 1.027. This suggests a potential for a breakout or a continuation of sideways trading. The 20-period Bollinger Band is currently at 1.033, with a 2% volatility width. Price is currently trading near the mid-band, indicating a neutral setup for the near term.

Volume & Turnover

Total volume over the 24-hour period reached 141,933.32, with turnover at $146,379.74. The most significant spike in volume occurred during the 07:30–08:00 ET period when price reached 1.043, confirming the upward move. However, volume has since declined, with recent bearish moves lacking confirmation. A divergence is visible between price and turnover during the 09:30–10:30 ET period, where price dropped but turnover remained flat. This suggests weak conviction among sellers.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the key 1.022–1.045 swing, the 38.2% level lies at 1.034 and the 61.8% level at 1.030. Price has tested the 61.8% level multiple times, with a strong bounce observed around 1.030. Further down, the 38.2% level has yet to be tested, and a potential test may occur if the trend continues lower.

Backtest Hypothesis

The strategy described in the backtest assumes a short-term breakout approach, entering long when price closes above the upper Bollinger Band and short when it closes below the lower band. This aligns with the observed volatility expansion during the 06:00–08:00 ET rally. Given the recent narrowing of Bollinger Bands and the price hovering near the mid-band, a breakout scenario remains possible. However, with RSI in neutral territory and no clear overbought/oversold signals, the success of this strategy in the next 24 hours depends on confirmation of a directional move. If the price breaks the 1.045 high with strong volume, the long-side breakout strategy could be validated; conversely, a retest of 1.022 could trigger the short-side signal.
