• VeChain/Tether (VETUSDT) formed a bullish engulfing pattern after a sharp retracement into support at $0.02355–0.02353.
• Price consolidated above key 15-min support, with volume and momentum favoring a near-term rebound.

VeChain/Tether (VETUSDT) opened the 24-hour window at $0.0237 on 12:00 ET−1 and closed at $0.02338 by 12:00 ET, with a high of $0.0242 and a low of $0.0234. Total volume across the 24-hour window was approximately 199.6 million VET, and notional turnover reached $5.77 million. The price action showed a brief but decisive rebound off key support at $0.02355–0.02353, forming a bullish 15-min engulfing pattern during the afternoon ET session.

Structural support was clearly defined around $0.02353–0.02355 and $0.0237–0.0238, with resistance emerging at $0.02395 and $0.02418. A bearish harami pattern formed near the top of the 15-min range, suggesting short-term profit-taking. Key candlestick patterns like the bullish engulfing and doji were limited to the lower end of the range, signaling a potential shift in momentum. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-min chart remained in alignment, suggesting a trendless, consolidative phase.

The MACD showed a narrow histogram and a flattening line, indicating momentum had slowed. The RSI reached overbought territory near the top of the range but failed to sustain above 65, pointing to limited conviction. Bollinger Bands remained tightly wrapped around price, with no clear sign of an impending breakout or breakdown. Price remained within the one-standard-deviation channel for most of the session, suggesting a period of low volatility.

Volume and notional turnover were highest during the initial 45-minute ET session and again just before the 12:00 ET close. The volume profile showed a notable drop-off during the overnight ET period, suggesting reduced participation. A divergence between price and volume was not observed, indicating that the consolidation phase was broadly supported by liquidity. A key Fibonacci retracement level at $0.0238 (61.8% of the 15-min rally) coincided with a cluster of 15-min MA confluence, reinforcing its importance as a potential pivot point.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy involves entering long positions when a bullish engulfing pattern forms below the 20-period moving average, confirmed by a reversal in RSI below 30. Exit triggers include a close below the 50-period MA or a RSI divergence above 65. Historical performance on VETUSDT would need to validate the strategy’s robustness, but today’s pattern suggests a potential setup.
