Market Dynamics and Structure

Viction/Tether (VICUSDT) experienced a volatile 24-hour session, forming a bearish reversal pattern after reaching a high of 0.1261. Price action indicates weakening momentum, particularly after 20:45 ET when a large candle closed at 0.1196, signaling a significant drop in buyer confidence. Key resistance levels appear to be at 0.1225 and 0.1238, both of which have acted as ceilings in recent bounces. A bearish engulfing pattern at 0.1216 suggests the pair may retest support near 0.1200–0.1195 before finding a new equilibrium.

Volatility and Momentum Clues

Bollinger Bands reflected expanding volatility, with price dropping below the lower band during the sharp decline from 0.1223 to 0.1196. This suggests heightened bearish pressure and potential for further correction. While RSI data was unavailable, the MACD indicator would typically show divergence to confirm overbought or oversold conditions. With the price near the lower band, it appears to be in oversold territory, though confirmation of a bounce is pending.

Volume and Turnover Analysis

Volume spiked significantly in the early hours of the morning as the price fell to 0.1196, with notional turnover reaching $24,682.59. This large volume during a downward move strengthens the bearish case, as it indicates increased selling pressure. However, the lack of follow-through in subsequent candles suggests potential exhaustion in the downward move. Investors should monitor volume on a rebound to determine if it is a true reversal or a false signal.

Key Levels and Fibonacci Projections

Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the 15-minute swing from 0.1261 to 0.1196 show that the 61.8% level is at 0.1230, a critical psychological level that may trigger a bounce if buyers re-enter. Daily-level retracements from recent highs also align with key resistance at 0.1238 and 0.1240. A retest of 0.1232–0.1234 could confirm or invalidate a short-term rebound.

Backtest Hypothesis
The absence of RSI data limits the ability to backtest a strategy based on momentum or overbought/oversold conditions. However, the price-volume divergence and Bollinger Band behavior suggest a potential mean-reversion strategy could be viable if paired with a reliable RSI feed. Future testing should confirm if a long entry at 0.1202–0.1205 with a stop at 0.1190 and a target at 0.1225 is statistically valid using historical RSI data once it becomes available.
