Gains Network/Tether (GNSUSDT) opened at 1.355 on 2025-10-11 12:00 ET, reached a high of 1.361, a low of 1.270, and closed at 1.326 on 2025-10-12 12:00 ET. Total volume for the 24-hour window was 203,765.04, and notional turnover was $268,459.16.
Structure & Formations
Price action displayed a bearish continuation pattern overnight, especially after breaking below the 1.315 support level. A large bearish engulfing pattern formed at 05:00–05:15 ET as the pair fell from 1.308 to 1.304. This was followed by a 1.303–1.309 consolidation range, forming a potential base ahead of a possible test of the 1.328–1.333 resistance cluster. A doji near 1.328 at 10:45 ET hinted at indecision, while the 12:00–12:15 ET candle formed a bullish pin bar, indicating possible short-covering near 1.324. The 1.335–1.345 range is now a key watch zone for a potential reversal or continuation.
Moving Averages & Momentum
The 20-period EMA on the 15-minute chart crossed below the 50-period EMA, confirming a short-term bearish bias. On the daily chart, the 50-period SMA currently stands at 1.365, suggesting that a move above this level could rekindle bullish momentum. The 100-period and 200-period SMAs are at 1.367 and 1.371, respectively, indicating a bearish bias in the broader timeframe.
MACD turned negative after 03:00 ET, with the histogram showing bearish divergence against a rally to 1.330. RSI hit oversold levels at 1.270 but failed to trigger a strong rebound, signaling potential bearish exhaustion or a deepening correction. If RSI remains below 40 for two consecutive hours, a retest of the 1.260–1.275 range is possible.
Volatility & Turnover
Bollinger Bands began to contract around 04:00 ET but widened sharply after 07:00 ET, coinciding with a 5.3% rebound in price. Price closed near the lower band at 08:15 ET, suggesting bearish pressure remained intact. Volume was highest between 01:00 and 03:00 ET and again between 08:00 and 11:00 ET, with the 08:15–08:30 ET candle showing the largest turnover of $261,799. This suggests increased participation during the morning session but failed to trigger a sustainable breakout above 1.340.
Fibonacci Retracements
Using the 1.361 high and the 1.270 low, key Fibonacci levels include 1.335 (61.8%), 1.345 (50%), and 1.353 (38.2%). Price briefly tested the 61.8% retracement level at 1.335 twice, failing to break through both times. A successful close above 1.345 would target the 38.2% retracement at 1.353 as the next key level. A break below 1.335 could target 1.320 (61.8% of the 1.335–1.353 leg) as the next short-term support.
Backtest Hypothesis
A potential backtest strategy could involve entering long positions when price closes above the 1.345 Fibonacci level with rising volume and a bullish MACD crossover. Short positions could be triggered if RSI dips below 35 and a bearish engulfing pattern forms below 1.335. Stops could be placed 0.5% below entry for longs and 0.5% above entry for shorts. Given the recent volatility, a trailing stop at 0.25% could be considered to capture intraday swings. The strategy would benefit from a clear breakout or breakdown in the next 24 hours, either confirming a bullish reversal or a bearish continuation.
