24-Hour Performance
At 12:00 ET–1, SafePal/Tether (SFPUSDT) opened at $0.332, reached a high of $0.342, and a low of $0.331, closing at $0.3394. Total 24-hour volume was 615,790, with notional turnover totaling $208,336.
Structure and Candlestick Patterns
The price action featured a sharp rebound from a key low of $0.331 to $0.342 in the evening, marked by a bullish engulfing pattern around 21:15 ET. This formation,
coupled with a low-volume pullback afterward, suggests short-term bearish hesitation.
Moving Averages and Momentum
Short-term 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 5-minute chart crossed multiple times, reflecting choppy momentum. The 20-period line sat above the 50-period line by the close, hinting at possible near-term strength. The RSI climbed to overbought levels twice but failed to hold above 70, indicating uneven buying pressure.
Volatility and Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands expanded during the late afternoon surge, as the price moved toward the upper band. This suggests rising volatility amid a test of key resistance. The bands later contracted, suggesting a potential pause in directional momentum.
Volume and Turnover Analysis
The largest volume spike occurred at 14:45 ET, with 27,083 contracts traded and a $9,080 notional turnover. However, price failed to push beyond the prior high, creating a volume divergence. This signals possible exhaustion in the bullish move.
Fibonacci Retracements
Fibonacci levels applied to the swing from $0.331 to $0.342 showed a test of the 61.8% retracement level at $0.3367. The price bounced from this level, but failed to hold above it during the night.
The market appears to be consolidating after a volatile 24-hour session, with no strong evidence of trend continuation. Investors should watch for a break above $0.3415 or a retest of $0.335 as potential signals. As always, volatility may increase rapidly in either direction, and positions should be managed accordingly.
