Treehouse/Tether (TREEUSDT) opened at 0.3471 on 2025-09-21 at 12:00 ET, peaked at 0.3475, and closed at 0.2864 on 2025-09-22 at 12:00 ET after a steep decline. The pair saw a total 24-hour volume of 10.88 million TREE and a notional turnover of $3.15 million, driven largely by the 6:15 ET candle with $4.07 million in turnover.

The price structure formed a strong bearish continuation pattern as key resistance levels from 0.344–0.345 gave way. A long bearish candle at 06:15 ET (0.3096–0.3003) confirmed a breakdown in sentiment. The 15-minute 20/50-period moving averages remained bearishly aligned, with the price trending well below both. A long lower shadow at 0.2876–0.2892 and a 0.2901–0.2892 consolidation suggested a possible short-term rebound may be forming.

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly in the early part of the session, confirming a period of heightened volatility, while the 15-minute RSI hit an oversold reading below 30 at 0.287–0.286. Fibonacci retracement levels from the 0.3475–0.2854 swing suggested 0.287–0.289 (23.6%) and 0.2905–0.2915 (38.2%) as potential support/resistance targets. The price appears to be consolidating around the 23.6% Fib level, which may offer a base for a near-term bounce.

A forward-looking view suggests that a rebound could target the 0.2905–0.2915 zone, with a potential test of 0.2935 (50% Fib) if bullish momentum confirms. However, traders should remain cautious, as a breakdown below 0.285 could lead to a test of the 0.283–0.282 zone. Volatility remains high, and any move higher should be confirmed with above-0.2935 closing candles to avoid false breakouts.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy proposes a mean-reversion approach on the 15-minute timeframe, entering long positions when RSI falls below 30 and price closes above the 20-period moving average after a Bollinger Band contraction. Based on today’s data, the 06:45 ET candle (0.2984) showed a potential buy signal as RSI bounced off oversold levels and crossed above the 20-period MA. A similar setup occurred at 11:45 ET, with RSI at 28.4 and price near the 20-period MA. These setups would have offered a short-term trade entry ahead of the late consolidation. The strategy could be refined by incorporating a stop-loss at the 23.6% Fib level to manage risk in case of a breakdown.
