Neo/Tether (NEOUSDT) opened at 6.33 on October 5 at 16:00 ET and fell to a 24-hour low of 6.169 before closing at 6.288 at 12:00 ET on October 6. The total traded volume was approximately 242,238.61, with a turnover of around $1,516,641. The pair showed clear bearish momentum, particularly from 18:00 to 21:00 ET, with a sharp decline of nearly 1.5%.

Structure analysis reveals a strong bearish engulfing pattern near the 6.35 level, followed by a prolonged bearish trend. A key support level appears at 6.20–6.23, where the price found some buying interest late into the night. Resistance remains at 6.35–6.38, with failed attempts to reclaim that territory during the early hours of October 6.

Moving averages indicate a bearish crossover, with the 20-period (15-min) falling below the 50-period. The 50-period is also below the 200-period on the daily chart, reinforcing the downtrend. Bollinger Bands constricted before the sharp drop, suggesting a breakout was imminent. RSI fell below 30 during the early morning hours, signaling oversold conditions, but volume remained elevated, indicating sustained selling pressure rather than a bounce.

MACD showed a bearish crossover and negative divergence from the price action, indicating weakening bullish momentum. RSI is in the oversold zone, but price action suggests a potential false bounce may occur if buyers fail to sustain above 6.30. Fibonacci retracement levels from the key swing high of 6.386 to the low of 6.169 point to 6.23 (38.2%) and 6.28 (50%) as potential reversal or consolidation points.

Backtest Hypothesis
The provided backtesting strategy focuses on a breakout and reversal trading system using 15-minute candlestick patterns and Fibonacci retracements. The hypothesis assumes that after a sharp decline and oversold RSI reading, a reversal is more likely if the price retests the 6.23–6.28 Fibonacci level with increasing volume. A long entry could be triggered on a close above 6.30 with confirmation from a bullish engulfing pattern and a positive MACD crossover. Conversely, a short trade would aim to exploit the bearish momentum if the price remains below 6.23 with continued volume expansion. Given the current structure and indicator alignment, the strategy appears valid over the next 24 hours, though caution is warranted due to the potential for volatility spikes.
