Measurable Data Token/Tether (MDTUSDT) opened at 0.01314 on 2025-12-31 at 12:00 ET, reached a high of 0.01357, a low of 0.01302, and closed at 0.01343 on 2026-01-01 at 12:00 ET. Total volume was 6.32 million, with notional turnover of approximately 85,267.75 USDT.
The 24-hour OHLC data shows a key bullish engulfing pattern near 0.01310, following a 5-minute bearish candle that tested the 0.01305 support. This pattern, occurring after a consolidation phase, indicates a potential short-term reversal. Resistance appears to cluster between 0.01342 and 0.01352, where price stalled twice before resuming higher.
Short-term 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 5-minute chart show a bullish crossover during the early morning rally. Longer-term 50/100/200 daily averages would need updated data, but based on the 5-minute data, the price remains above key 50-period averages, indicating continuation bias for the next 24 hours.
The RSI climbed into overbought territory near 70 in the final hours, suggesting a potential correction or consolidation. The MACD showed a positive divergence as the price surged, with a bullish crossover preceding the afternoon breakout. This indicates strong momentum, though a pullback may occur if RSI reverts.

Bollinger Bands contracted during the early morning consolidation, indicating low volatility. A breakout to the upside occurred after the 0.01342 level was cleared, with the price closing near the upper band. This pattern typically precedes a continuation or reversion depending on volume and order flow.
Volume spiked during the late-night and early morning session, with the highest turnover occurring just before the 0.01357 high. Price and volume aligned, confirming the breakout. Divergence between price and turnover is not evident, suggesting strong conviction in the current directional move.
On the 5-minute chart, price retraced 61.8% of the 0.01302–0.01334 range, forming a potential support-turned-resistance zone near 0.01321. On a daily basis, the 50% and 61.8% retracement levels align with key resistance near 0.01342–0.01352, reinforcing the likelihood of a short-term consolidation or test of those levels.
MDTUSDT appears poised to test the next resistance level above 0.01352. A sustained break above 0.01357 could validate the bullish case, but traders should remain cautious as overbought RSI and tight Bollinger Bands may precede a countertrend move. Investors should also monitor volume for signs of exhaustion if the price struggles to maintain above 0.01343 in the next 24 hours.
