Reserve Rights/Tether (RSRUSDT) opened at 0.002589 on 2025-12-19 at 12:00 ET, reaching a high of 0.002596 and a low of 0.002431, before closing at 0.002542 at 12:00 ET the following day. Total volume over 24 hours was 374.04 million, with a notional turnover of approximately $950,000, reflecting active short-term trading pressure.
Price formation showed a prolonged bearish bias with significant bearish engulfing patterns developing between 19:00 and 20:00 ET, followed by a consolidation phase into 23:00 ET. A key resistance level appears at 0.002560–0.002575, while 0.002524 and 0.002500 are critical support levels on the 5-minute chart. A bullish breakout above 0.002565 may retest 0.002585–0.002596 as overhead resistance.
The 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 5-minute chart remained bearishly aligned, reinforcing the short-term downtrend. MACD crossed below the signal line in the late hours of 2025-12-18, confirming bearish momentum, while RSI moved into oversold territory in the early morning hours of 2025-12-19. This suggests a potential pause in the decline or a brief bounce could occur near 0.002525.
Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the overnight hours, signaling increased volatility. A volume spike of 30.78 million occurred at 23:30 ET, coinciding with a sharp decline to 0.002467. Turnover and price action remained aligned during the sell-off, indicating conviction in the bearish trend. However, volume diminished during the consolidation phase in the morning, suggesting a potential short-term equilibrium.
Fibonacci retracements on the 0.002596–0.002431 swing indicate 0.002524 (61.8%) as a key psychological level. A close below this level could trigger a deeper pullback toward 0.002500–0.002485. Price may test 0.002535–0.002540 as a near-term base, but a retest of 0.002565–0.002575 would require significant buying pressure.
Traders may watch for a potential bounce from 0.002525–0.002530, but risk remains to the downside unless the 20-period MA shows a bullish crossover. Volatility is likely to remain elevated as the market digests the recent sell-off. Investors should be cautious about sharp rebounds or further breakdowns in the next 24 hours.
