Market Overview

Tezos/Tether (XTZUSDT) opened at 0.5017 on 2025-12-13 at 12:00 ET, reaching a high of 0.5057 and a low of 0.4848 before closing at 0.4875 at 12:00 ET on 2025-12-14. Total volume for the 24-hour period was 943,095.9 USDT, with notional turnover amounting to $468,814.

Structure & Moving Averages

Price action over the 24-hour period showed a bearish bias, with a breakdown below a key support level near 0.4985. On the 5-minute chart, the 20 and 50-period moving averages remained in a downward bias, reinforcing the short-term bearish trend. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA is a critical level to watch, as it may act as a dynamic support.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line remained negative for much of the period, with bearish crossovers during key price declines. RSI dipped into oversold territory (below 30) multiple times, suggesting a potential short-term rebound could be due, though it has not yet confirmed a reversal. Divergence between price and RSI suggests caution for longs.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly during the early morning hours, with price breaking below the lower band and settling in the lower quartile of the band by the end of the session. A contraction in the bands could precede a breakout, but the current bias remains bearish.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the late-night hours, particularly between 21:45 and 01:00 ET, coinciding with a sharp decline from 0.5057 to 0.4982. However, volume during the final decline to 0.4848 was lower, suggesting waning conviction in the move. Turnover also dropped during the last leg down, raising questions about the sustainability of the bearish move.

Fibonacci Retracements

A retracement from the 0.5057 high to the 0.4848 low places key levels at 61.8% (~0.4920) and 38.2% (~0.4975). Price appears to have rejected at 0.4923 twice, suggesting it could test that level again. A break below 0.4904 could target the next support at 0.4860.

XTZ/USDT appears to have entered a bearish consolidation phase after an extended decline. While oversold RSI may hint at a bounce, volume divergence suggests underlying bearish pressure remains. Investors should monitor the 0.4920 level for potential bounce or break. Risk of further downside is elevated if 0.4904 is breached.
