Nexo/Tether (NEXOUSDT) opened at 1.157 at 12:00 ET-1 and closed at 1.142 by 12:00 ET today, trading between 1.159 and 1.137. Total volume was 712,093.69 and notional turnover reached $800,834. The pair appears to be consolidating after a sharp intraday drop, with mixed momentum signals and moderate volatility.

Over the 24-hour period, NEXOUSDT formed a broad descending channel, with key support now at 1.140 and resistance at 1.153. A bearish engulfing pattern appeared around 19:30 ET, indicating potential for further downside. The price then tested 1.142, which may serve as a near-term floor. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages are converging lower, reinforcing the bearish bias.

MACD remains in negative territory, with the histogram narrowing, suggesting weakening bear momentum. RSI hit oversold territory below 30, which may attract short-covering or stabilizing bids. However, volume on the rebound has been muted, casting some doubt on its strength. Bollinger Bands have contracted following a sharp sell-off, a setup often preceding a breakout, but it is unclear in which direction it may occur.

Fibonacci retracement levels from the recent swing high at 1.159 to the low at 1.137 place key retracement levels at 1.148 (38.2%), 1.143 (50%), and 1.139 (61.8%). These levels may act as dynamic support/resistance in the coming sessions. Volume and turnover diverged after the 19:30 ET low, with volume spiking but price failing to find meaningful buyers, raising bearish caution.

The backtest hypothesis is based on a short-term bearish setup identified in the 15-minute data. A potential trade rule could involve entering a short position on confirmation of a bearish engulfing pattern followed by a pullback to a Fibonacci retracement level for a stop-entry. Once in the trade, an exit rule could be a fixed stop-loss at 1.153 or a time-based close after 4 hours. This setup appears valid within the context of the recent bearish divergence and overextended RSI.
