Sun/Tether (SUNUSDT) opened at $0.02532 (12:00 ET − 1) and closed at $0.02534 (12:00 ET) on October 3, 2025, with a high of $0.02550 and a low of $0.02512. Total volume over 24 hours was 86,720,280, and turnover reached approximately $2,219,407 (based on average price of $0.0256). The pair spent the bulk of the session in a tight range before showing a brief breakout attempt in the late hours.

On the 15-minute chart, key support levels emerged around $0.02534–$0.02532, while resistance was seen near $0.02545–$0.02550. A notable bullish engulfing pattern formed around $0.02542–$0.02548, suggesting short-term buying pressure. However, the lack of follow-through after the breakout implies caution in interpreting its strength. A doji candle near the high of $0.02550 hinted at a possible reversal or consolidation ahead.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart were closely aligned, indicating a sideways bias. On a daily chart, the 50-day MA was at $0.02537, while the 200-day MA was at $0.02533, showing a marginal positive bias. MACD remained near the zero line, with a flat histogram suggesting low momentum. RSI oscillated between 45 and 55, indicating a neutral zone with no clear overbought or oversold conditions.

Bollinger Bands reflected increasing volatility during the 19:00–20:00 ET window, with the price testing the upper band at $0.02550. This expansion suggests a potential shift in sentiment but is not yet a breakout confirmation. Fibonacci retracement levels from the recent swing high of $0.02550 and low of $0.02512 placed key levels at 38.2% ($0.02539) and 61.8% ($0.02533), both closely aligned with the current price, signaling a potential consolidation phase.

Volume surged during the late hours, peaking near $0.02550, but turnover failed to confirm the strength of the move, suggesting mixed sentiment. A divergence between rising volume and flat to slightly lower price action suggests traders may be positioning for either a breakout or a pullback. The next 24 hours will likely test the $0.02533–$0.02537 range to determine whether buyers or sellers will take control.

The 20/50 and 50/100/200 moving average indicators, along with MACD and RSI, are all key to the backtest strategy being evaluated. The strategy hinges on entering long positions when the 20-period MA crosses above the 50-period MA on the 15-minute chart (a golden cross), while the RSI is between 30 and 50 to avoid overbought conditions. Exit signals are triggered when the 20-period MA crosses below the 50-period MA or when RSI enters overbought territory (>70). This approach aims to capture short-term bullish momentum while filtering out noise from a volatile asset like SUNUSDT. The strategy also incorporates a stop-loss at the 61.8% Fibonacci level of the most recent swing move to limit downside risk.
