Zilliqa/Tether (ZILUSDT) opened at 0.00464 on 2025-12-18 at 12:00 ET, reaching a high of 0.00465 and a low of 0.00431, closing at 0.00456 on 2025-12-19 at 12:00 ET. Total volume was 76,000,549.5 ZIL, with notional turnover of approximately $339,202.
Structure & Key Levels
Price action on the 5-minute chart formed a bearish wedge pattern following a sharp decline from 0.00465 to 0.00431. The 0.00445 level acted as a short-term support, holding through several bearish close bars, while 0.00452 emerged as a minor resistance. A long-legged doji at 0.00436–0.00437 and a bearish engulfing pattern near 0.00449–0.00445 suggest indecision and potential exhaustion of short-term buyers.
Moving Averages and Momentum
On the 5-minute chart, price has stayed below the 20-period and 50-period SMAs, reinforcing bearish momentum.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands
Volatility remained elevated, with Bollinger Bands widening during the sharp decline to 0.00431. Price closed near the lower band, signaling extended bearish momentum. A potential contraction of bands could precede a reversal or continuation depending on volume and order flow.
Volume and Turnover Analysis
Volume spiked during the selloff from 0.00464 to 0.00431, especially during the 19:15–20:00 ET window, with a peak turnover of $1,058,818. Volume confirmed the bearish move, but divergences between price and volume during the consolidation phase suggest mixed conviction. A follow-through bearish volume surge would be needed to confirm a potential breakdown.
Fibonacci Retracements
Fibonacci levels drawn from the 0.00465–0.00431 swing identified key retracement levels at 0.00448 (38.2%) and 0.00441 (61.8%). Price has tested and bounced from the 0.00445–0.00448 range multiple times, suggesting it could either consolidate in that zone or break lower if 0.00441 fails.
Price may test the 0.00441–0.00437 range over the next 24 hours, with the potential for a short-covering bounce if RSI shows divergence. Traders should remain cautious for further downside, particularly if the 0.00441 level is pierced without a strong reversal.
