Stacks/Tether (STXUSDT) opened at $0.4391 on 2025-10-29 at 12:00 ET and closed at $0.4293 by 12:00 ET on 2025-10-30. The pair reached a 24-hour high of $0.4517 and a low of $0.4106. Total volume during this period was 10.4 million STX, with a notional turnover of $4.54 million. Price action reflected a bearish bias, particularly in the late afternoon and evening sessions when volatility and volume surged.

The 15-minute chart shows a bearish continuation pattern, with multiple lower highs and lower lows forming a descending channel. Key support levels emerged at $0.432–$0.425, with $0.4255 acting as a short-term floor. Resistance is clustered between $0.446 and $0.448, where several bearish reversals occurred. Notable candlestick formations include a large bearish engulfing pattern around 18:45 ET and a doji near the 03:45 ET session, signaling indecision.

Moving average indicators suggest bearish momentum. On the 15-minute chart, the 20-EMA crossed below the 50-EMA, reinforcing a short-term downtrend. On the daily chart, the price is below both the 50 and 200-day SMAs, indicating a longer-term bearish bias. The 50-day SMA currently sits at $0.444, above the current price, and could act as a potential resistance zone if the pair retraces.

MACD showed bearish divergence in the late afternoon, with a negative crossover suggesting weakening bullish momentum. RSI spent much of the day in oversold territory, dipping below 30 on multiple occasions. This raises the possibility of a short-term rebound, though strong volume during the downtrend suggests bearish conviction. Bollinger Bands reflected volatility expansion during the 18:45–19:00 and 22:15–23:00 sessions, with price frequently trading near the lower band.

Fibonacci retracement levels from the recent 15-minute swing show the 38.2% level at $0.434 and the 61.8% level at $0.4255, both of which were tested during the session. The 61.8% level coincided with a notable price consolidation, suggesting it is a meaningful support area for near-term action.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the frequent RSI oversold readings and the bearish continuation in STXUSDT, a simple RSI-based long-bias backtest could be evaluated. If the 14-period RSI closes below 30 for two consecutive periods, a long entry signal is triggered at the next day’s open. A three-day holding period follows, with a close at the open of the fourth day. This strategy would aim to capture potential rebounds from oversold levels. With the current data limitations (e.g., missing ticker info for RSI), alternative symbol mappings (e.g., “STX-USD”) or a locally computed RSI from close prices can be used. This approach would allow for a backtest from 2022-01-01 to 2025-10-30, measuring performance based on signal frequency, win rate, and risk-adjusted returns.
