Storj/Tether USDt (STORJUSDT) opened at 0.2521 on 2025-09-05 at 12:00 ET and closed at 0.2496 on 2025-09-06 at 12:00 ET, reaching a high of 0.2546 and a low of 0.2487. Total volume for the 24-hour period was 506,937.0 and turnover was approximately 127.859 BTC (calculated as the sum of volume * close per candlestick). The pair experienced a bearish breakdown and is currently near a key support level.
Structure & Formations
The 24-hour OHLCV data reveals a clear bearish bias, marked by a breakdown below a key support zone around 0.2515 and further support at 0.2500. The formation of bearish engulfing patterns, particularly during the early morning hours, and a sharp breakdown of the 0.2500 level suggest continued bearish pressure. A doji formed near 0.2496 at the close, which may indicate indecision or a potential short-term bounce from this level.
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are both bearish, with the price well below both. The daily 50-period, 100-period, and 200-period moving averages are also bearish, confirming a broader downtrend. The price closing below all these levels suggests a likely continuation of bearish momentum unless there is a sharp reversal.
MACD & RSI
The MACD is negative and in bearish territory, with the histogram shrinking slightly, suggesting that the bearish momentum may be exhausting. The RSI has fallen into oversold territory (below 30) following the breakdown, indicating a potential bounce could be on the horizon. However, RSI can remain oversold in strong downtrends, so a reversal should be confirmed by bullish price action.
Bollinger Bands
The Bollinger Bands have expanded significantly in response to the recent volatility. The price closed near the lower band at 0.2496, which may trigger a short-term bounce, though it could also continue lower if the bearish trend holds.
Volume & Turnover
Volume increased during the early morning breakdown from 0.2500 to 0.2487, indicating strong bearish conviction. However, the volume has since declined, particularly during the final 6 hours before the close, suggesting that bears may be losing steam. A divergence between price and volume could hint at a possible countertrend rally.
Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci levels to the recent bearish move from 0.2546 to 0.2487, the 38.2% retracement is at approximately
0.2519, and the 61.8% retracement is at
0.2501. The price appears to have bounced slightly from the 0.2501 level, though a breakdown below this would suggest continued bearish momentum.
Backtest Hypothesis
A potential backtesting strategy for STORJ/USDT could be to go short on a breakdown below a key Fibonacci level (e.g., 0.2501) with a stop just above the most recent swing high. A target could be set using the 1.618 extension of the previous bearish move. Given the current structure, a breakdown of 0.2500 with volume confirmation would strengthen the signal. This approach aligns with the bearish engulfing patterns and RSI oversold levels observed, suggesting a high probability of continuation if the trend holds.
