The 24-hour trading session for Manchester City Fan Token/Tether (CITYUSDT) began at 0.809 and closed near 0.812, with a high of 0.88 and a low of 0.785 over the 15-minute charted period. The total volume amounted to 1,753,815.99, while the notional turnover reached approximately 1,427,666.30. The price action revealed a sharp 7.5% correction from the 0.88 peak, with a key support zone forming near 0.805–0.806 during the late-night session (ET). This level was tested twice before a gradual rebound occurred into the final hours.

A strong bullish engulfing pattern formed around 09:00 ET as price surged from 0.826 to 0.828, signaling a potential reversal. However, the momentum failed to sustain, and price quickly reversed lower. The RSI reached overbought territory (70+) near 0.88 before plunging below neutral levels within hours, indicating a sharp bearish shift. The MACD also showed bearish divergence as the histogram turned negative during the peak sell-off. Bollinger Bands expanded significantly, with price fluctuating above and below the upper and lower bands during the most volatile periods.

Fibonacci retracements applied to the 0.785–0.88 swing suggest key levels to watch: 38.2% at 0.845, 61.8% at 0.822, and the 50% level at 0.833. The 20-period EMA crossed below the 50-period EMA during the reversal, indicating bearish bias in the short term. Daily moving averages (50/100/200) are not visible in the 15-minute dataset but would likely show similar bearish confirmation if extended to the daily timeframe. Notably, volume surged during the 09:00 ET hour, with one candle showing over 580,000 traded units, suggesting strong conviction in the move.

Looking ahead, traders may expect further consolidation or a test of the 0.805–0.806 support level if the short-term bearish momentum continues. A rebound above 0.814–0.815 could signal a potential reversal, but the risk remains for a break below 0.805 to trigger further declines. Investors should monitor volume and RSI levels for signs of exhaustion or renewed buying pressure.

Backtest Hypothesis

The “Bullish Engulfing → buy-and-hold-for-3-days” strategy appears to align with the key pattern observed around 09:00 ET on 2025-10-14. If applied at that time, an investor would have entered long at 0.826, with a target to hold for 3 days (i.e., until 09:00 ET on 2025-10-17). The strategy would have closed the position at 0.815, resulting in a 1.3% loss. This suggests the signal may not have been reliable in this context. A backtest over a broader dataset or across multiple tokens could clarify the strategy’s effectiveness in volatile fan tokens like CITYUSDT.
