NEXPACE/Tether (NXPCUSDT) opened at 0.3431 at 12:00 ET − 1 and closed at 0.3380 at 12:00 ET, with a daily high of 0.3445 and a low of 0.3201. Total volume for the 24-hour period was 1,940,058.8, and notional turnover was approximately $666,116. The pair displayed a clear bearish bias with a sharp correction in the early hours of October 23, driven by a high-volume candle that printed the session low.

Over the 15-minute chart, key support appears at 0.3201 (session low) and 0.3334 (prior swing low), while resistance is seen at 0.3395 (prior high) and 0.3428 (swing high). A bearish engulfing pattern was observed at the session low, indicating a potential short-term bottoming process. The 20SMA crossed below the 50SMA in early trading, confirming a bearish signal. The 50-period moving average currently sits at 0.3395, which may serve as a dynamic resistance level.

The MACD histogram turned negative after 19:00 ET, signaling bearish momentum, while the RSI approached oversold territory around 0.3201 but failed to close above the 30 threshold. Bollinger Bands widened significantly as the price dropped below the 20SMA, suggesting a period of high volatility. Price found a temporary floor near 0.3221, aligning with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level from the previous swing high.

A potential bounce may be expected from the 0.335–0.337 range, particularly if buyers step in at the 0.3365 level (prior support-turned-resistance). However, a break below 0.3201 could target the next Fibonacci level at 0.3185. The next 24 hours will be critical in determining whether this low is a short-term trough or the start of a deeper bearish phase. Traders should remain cautious of potential continuation selling, especially if volume does not confirm a strong rebound.

The backtesting strategy described is centered on a MACD-based signal to short at each Death Cross and hold for exactly five trading days. For NEXPACE/Tether (NXPCUSDT), the 20/50SMA crossover has already occurred multiple times within the 24-hour dataset, with the most recent forming at 19:00 ET. A backtest would require identifying each Death Cross event and evaluating the performance of a 5-day short position in context of the pair’s volatility and momentum shifts. The RSI and Bollinger Band levels could further refine the signal by filtering entries during periods of high volatility or oversold conditions.
