USTCUSDT opened at $0.00838 on October 13 at 12:00 ET, surged to a high of $0.00862, then fell to a low of $0.00785, and closed at $0.00811 on October 14 at 12:00 ET. Over the 24-hour period, the pair traded on a volume of 94,119,950 USDT with a notional turnover of approximately $761,627. The price action was highly volatile, particularly from 22:00 ET onward, when a sharp sell-off occurred.
The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart showed a bearish crossover earlier in the session, reinforcing the downward bias. The 20-period MA acted as a dynamic resistance during the early hours before the price collapsed. On the daily chart, the 50/100/200-day MAs trended lower, suggesting the pair is in a medium-term downtrend, with price testing key support levels around $0.008.
Momentum indicators reflected a strong bearish bias. The RSI reached an oversold level of ~25, indicating potential for a near-term bounce, though this could also signal exhaustion in the sell-off. The MACD histogram turned negative in the final hours, confirming bearish momentum. Bollinger Bands expanded during the sharp decline, with the price touching and rebounding from the lower band, suggesting a potential countertrend move from current levels.
Volume spiked during the decline from $0.00857 to $0.00802, with large notional turnover occurring during this phase, particularly around the 05:45–06:00 ET timeframe. However, during the rebound from $0.00799 to $0.00811, volume was relatively muted, raising questions about the strength of the recovery. Price-volume divergence suggests caution for further upward moves, with the potential for a pullback into the $0.00785–$0.008 range.
Fibonacci retracement levels for the key swing from $0.00857 to $0.00799 show that the 61.8% level aligns near $0.00811, which is consistent with the current price. This area is now a key pivot, where a breakout or breakdown could determine the next leg of the trend. A break above $0.00825 would target $0.00835, while a breakdown below $0.008 would target $0.00785 and then $0.00772.
Looking ahead, the market may consolidate around $0.00811 in the next 24 hours, with potential for a test of $0.00825 on a short-covering rebound. However, given the recent bearish divergence in volume and momentum, a further test of $0.00785 cannot be ruled out if sellers reemerge.
Backtest Hypothesis
The candlestick pattern "Bullish-Engulfing" could be a viable entry strategy on USTCUSDT, particularly around key Fibonacci and Bollinger Band support levels. Given the strong bearish divergence in the 24-hour data, the backtest should focus on identifying these patterns during rebounds, using RSI <30 and MACD crossover as confirmation signals. If implemented on a more liquid and recognized pair (e.g., BTC/USDT), the strategy could be refined and then tested for USTCUSDT under similar conditions. A backtest on a historical USTC-USDT OHLC dataset would provide the most accurate validation of this hypothesis.
