• Volatility spiked during sharp pullbacks below key support zones.
• RSI and MACD signals suggest oversold conditions and potential for short-term bounce.

Virtuals Protocol/Tether (VIRTUALUSDT) opened at 1.1413 on 2025-10-03 at 16:00 ET and closed at 1.0860 on 2025-10-04 at 16:00 ET. The pair reached a high of 1.1704 and a low of 1.0818 over the 24-hour period. Total volume amounted to 8,088,168.0 and turnover was approximately $8,990,444.60. The pair displayed a bearish bias with key support and resistance levels forming in the range of 1.100–1.120.
Price action formed a descending channel over the 24-hour period, with a sharp breakdown after reaching 1.1704. The 1.140–1.150 range acted as a key resistance zone that failed to hold, leading to a rapid sell-off. A notable bearish engulfing pattern appeared at 1.1704, followed by a bearish continuation at 1.1480. A doji formed at 1.1247, suggesting short-term indecision. The 1.110–1.115 and 1.104–1.097 levels appear as critical psychological and Fibonacci retracement support levels.
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages have been bearishly aligned, with the price closing below both. On the daily timeframe, the 50/100/200-period MAs have also trended lower, reinforcing the bearish bias. The price remains below the 50-day MA, indicating sustained bearish momentum and a lack of short-term buyers.
The RSI has moved into oversold territory (below 30) and could trigger a short-term bounce, although a definitive reversal is yet to form. The MACD line has crossed below the signal line and remains negative, confirming bearish momentum. A bullish MACD crossover above the zero line may precede a short-term rebound.
Volatility expanded during the sharp sell-off between 1.1480 and 1.1100. Price closed near the lower Bollinger band, which aligns with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from the 1.1704 peak. A close above the middle band may trigger a bounce, but a retest of the lower band could confirm bearish exhaustion.
Volume spiked during the breakdown below 1.140, with a peak at 635,878.4. However, volume has trended lower in the final hours of the 24-hour window, suggesting waning bearish pressure. Turnover and price action are aligned, with no major divergence signs. A breakout of the 1.110–1.115 range with increasing volume may validate a reversal.
The 1.1704 peak to 1.0818 low defines a key 24-hour move. The 38.2% level sits at 1.128 and failed to hold, with 61.8% at 1.104 acting as current support. A move below 1.104 would target 1.088 and 1.076. On the 15-minute chart, key retracement levels at 1.140–1.144 and 1.136–1.138 may trigger counter-moves.
The backtest strategy described focuses on a combination of RSI divergence and volume confirmation on the 15-minute chart. A long entry is considered when RSI shows bullish divergence (price lower low, RSI higher low) near key Fibonacci levels, confirmed by rising volume. Short entries are triggered when RSI shows bearish divergence and volume spikes during breakdowns. Given today’s price action, a long setup could be signaled at the 1.104–1.106 zone with increasing volume, while a short entry may reemerge if price breaks below 1.097 with confirmation. This aligns with the observed behavior in the RSI and volume patterns over the past 24 hours.
Forward-looking, VIRTUALUSDT appears poised for a short-term bounce from the 1.097–1.104 zone, but a retest of 1.0818 remains a high-risk scenario. Investors should closely monitor volume and RSI behavior near key Fibonacci levels for potential reversal signals. As always, position sizing and stop-loss management remain critical in this volatile market.
