and volatility signals point to a bearish bias, with late-day volume confirming distribution.
Structure & Formations
The 24-hour chart shows a key resistance near 0.001225 and a support zone around 0.001171. A bearish engulfing pattern formed during the session high-to-low reversal, confirming the shift in sentiment. The price closed below the intraday pivot level, suggesting a breakdown is likely in the near term.
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period SMAs both slope downward, confirming the short-term bearish momentum. The 50-period SMA sits at 0.001191, above which the pair failed to hold for much of the session. Daily SMAs (50/100/200) also trend lower, aligning with a broader downward drift.
MACD & RSI
The MACD turned negative in the morning, confirming the loss of upward momentum. RSI fell into oversold territory by the close, but this lack of buying interest suggests weak immediate support. The divergence between the RSI and price in the morning session indicates bearish exhaustion could persist.
Bollinger Bands
Price spent the morning within the Bollinger Band middle and upper lines but broke down below the 2σ lower band by late afternoon. This contraction and expansion in volatility suggests increased uncertainty, with sellers stepping in as the bands narrowed.
Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked in the late session as price fell below 0.001190, indicating distribution. The notional turnover matched the volume increase, confirming the bearish move. Divergence between volume and price in the early morning suggests a potential short-term bounce could occur if buyers step in near support.
Fibonacci Retracements
A 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from the morning high lies at 0.001185, a level VTHOUSDT briefly tested during the afternoon. A break below the 38.2% level at 0.001180 would indicate continued bearish pressure. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement is at 0.001192, a key area to watch for support or rejection.
Backtest Hypothesis
A backtest of a MACD top divergence long strategy from 1 Jan 2022 to 10 Nov 2025 yielded a total return of -13.39% with an annualized return of -1.69%. The strategy’s Sharpe ratio of -0.13 and a 28.54% maximum drawdown indicate it failed to generate a risk-adjusted edge. The negative average trade return of -0.38% and a low win rate of ~4.28% further support this conclusion. These findings suggest that signals derived from the MACD top divergence in VTHOUSDT did not offer a consistent short-term directional bias during the tested period, possibly due to the high volatility and thin order book in this pair.
Forward Outlook & Risk
The next 24 hours could see VTHOUSDT test the 0.001170 level for support, while a rally above 0.001190 could trigger short-term bounces. However, bearish momentum indicators and weak volume confirmations suggest that downward bias remains intact unless a strong reversal pattern emerges. Investors should remain cautious, as a break below the current range could trigger further selling pressure.
