World Liberty Financial USD/Tether (USD1USDT) opened at 0.9997 on 2025-10-31 12:00 ET, reaching a high of 0.9998 and a low of 0.9996, before closing at 0.9992 at 12:00 ET the following day. Total volume over the 24-hour window was 12,646,917.0, with a notional turnover amounting to USD62,268.14.

Price action on the 15-minute chart showed persistent consolidation between 0.9996 and 0.9998 for most of the session, with a gradual descent beginning late in the afternoon as bearish pressure increased. The formation of multiple doji candles and small-range bodies suggests indecision and lack of conviction among traders. Key support at 0.9996 and 0.9995 was tested multiple times without a decisive break. The absence of a clear trend is reinforced by the 20- and 50-period moving averages, which remained nearly flat, indicating limited directional momentum.

The MACD histogram showed no significant divergence or convergence, remaining near the zero line with a weak bearish crossover suggesting a potential pullback. The RSI, meanwhile, remained within the 50–60 range for most of the session, indicating neutral momentum. A minor oversold condition developed briefly near the close, but it lacked follow-through. Bollinger Bands reflected low volatility in the first half of the session, expanding slightly in the late hours as price drifted lower. Price settled near the lower band, suggesting bearish pressure may continue in the short term.

Fibonacci retracements from the high (0.9998) to the low (0.9992) identified the 38.2% level at 0.9996 and the 61.8% level at 0.9995. These levels coincided with observed support, reinforcing their significance. Volume spiked overnight but failed to generate a corresponding price reaction, indicating weak conviction in the move lower. The lack of divergence between volume and price, however, suggests the bearish move remains intact for now.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the presence of multiple doji patterns and low-volume consolidation periods observed in the dataset, a viable backtest strategy would involve detecting Doji Star patterns from 2022-01-01 to present and applying a one-day holding-period strategy based on their formation. Once a valid ticker for the Harbor Alpha Layering ETF is confirmed (e.g., HOLD.P or an alternative symbol), the backtest would automatically execute and report results, including win rate, average return, and drawdowns. This could provide insight into the effectiveness of using doji patterns as signals for short-term reversals in similar range-bound assets.
