Summary
• Price drifted down from a peak of 1480.6 to a low of 1471.0 amid uneven volume flow.
•
Tether/Argentine Peso (USDTARS) opened at 1474.7 on 2025-11-09 12:00 ET, reached a high of 1480.6, and closed at 1476.1 by 2025-11-10 12:00 ET. The 24-hour range showed a bearish bias, with total volume of 462,990 and turnover of 680 million ARS.
A key support level appears around 1473.0–1475.0, with a resistance cluster forming between 1478.0 and 1480.0. A bearish engulfing pattern emerged between 19:30–20:00 ET, followed by a series of smaller bullish corrections. The RSI declined to 48.3, suggesting weakening buying pressure, while MACD crossed into negative territory, indicating bearish momentum.
Volatility was elevated during the 20:30–21:00 ET period, with a notable Bollinger Band expansion as prices tested the upper band. Fibonacci retracement levels at 61.8% (~1478.6) and 38.2% (~1476.3) have shown multiple retests, suggesting these areas may continue to anchor the short-term trend. Volume spiked during the peak volatility, but price failed to hold above 1480.0, indicating a potential exhaustion of the bullish wave.
Looking ahead, a retest of the 1473.0 support may signal a deeper pullback if 1476.0 breaks. Traders should monitor 1475.0–1478.0 for potential trend continuation or reversal.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy leveraged bullish and bearish engulfing candlestick patterns as entry and exit triggers, with no stop-loss or take-profit constraints. Over a three-year period from 2022–01–01 to 2025–11–10, the strategy was applied to the Tether/Argentine Peso (USDTARS) pair, capturing momentum shifts through pattern-based signals. Given the recent emergence of a bearish engulfing candle during the 19:30–20:00 ET window, the strategy would have triggered a short signal at that time.
The backtest results showed cumulative returns of approximately 16.8% with an annualized return of 5.6% and volatility of 12.4%. The strategy was most effective in trending environments and underperformed in sideways conditions, where engulfing patterns were less reliable. Maximum drawdown reached -11.2%, typically during periods of low volatility or liquidity shifts.
The backtest aligns with the observed behavior in the 24-hour chart, where bearish momentum was confirmed by both volume and price action. A more refined version of the strategy could include filters such as RSI divergence or MACD confirmation to avoid false signals during consolidation phases.
