Verge/Tether (XVGUSDT) opened at 0.006045 on 2025-09-18 at 12:00 ET and closed at 0.005764 on 2025-09-19 at the same time, with a high of 0.006084 and a low of 0.005702. The 24-hour volume was approximately 68.5 million XVG, while the notional turnover reached $3.34 million.

The price action displayed a bearish continuation across the day, with a bearish breakdown below key psychological levels and a failure to retest previous highs. A notable bearish engulfing pattern formed around 19:00–20:00 ET as the price collapsed from 0.006084 to 0.005995, followed by a series of lower closes. A 15-minute 20-period moving average dipped below the 50-period line, reinforcing bearish momentum. The daily chart also saw the 50-period MA below the 200-period line, suggesting medium-term bearishness.

Structure & Formations

Key support levels were tested multiple times throughout the day, most notably between 0.00588–0.00590, where the price paused briefly before continuing its descent. A 15-minute bearish engulfing pattern at 19:30–20:00 ET confirmed the breakdown in momentum. A doji formed near 0.006011–0.006005 at 00:00–00:15 ET, signaling indecision at the start of the new day, but sellers retook control shortly after. The price failed to retest the 61.8% Fibonacci level at 0.00593, reinforcing the bearish narrative.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average dipped below the 50-period line at 20:00 ET, forming a death cross which confirmed bearish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA remains below the 200-period line, suggesting continued bearish bias. The 100-period MA is also in bearish alignment, providing additional confirmation of the downward trend.

MACD & RSI

MACD lines remained negative throughout the day, with bearish divergences forming after the 20:00 ET breakdown. The RSI indicator reached oversold territory at 28 near 0.005702, but failed to generate a bullish reversal, suggesting further downside potential. RSI divergences, particularly in the 5:00–6:00 ET period, indicated that price was outpacing bullish momentum.

Bollinger Bands

Early in the day, Bollinger Bands showed a period of contraction, indicating low volatility. This was followed by a sharp expansion as the price moved below the lower band at 20:00 ET, signaling a breakout to the downside. The price remained below the lower band for most of the day, indicating strong bearish control.

Volume & Turnover

Volume increased significantly during the breakdown phase, especially around 19:00–20:00 ET, with large notional turnover confirming the bearish move. However, volume decreased during the oversold phase, indicating potential exhaustion among sellers. A divergence between price and volume was noted in the late session, where price continued to fall despite lower volume, suggesting potential for a short-term bounce.

Fibonacci Retracements

The 61.8% Fibonacci level at 0.00593 failed to provide meaningful support, with price continuing lower after a brief pause. The 38.2% level at 0.00597 was tested earlier in the day but failed to halt the decline. On the daily chart, the 50% Fibonacci level at 0.006027 remains a key area to watch for potential resistance on any bounce.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy described involves a mean-reversion approach triggered by RSI levels crossing into oversold (RSI < 30) and confirmed by volume expansion. The XVG/USDT pair saw RSI fall to 28 but failed to generate a bullish reversal, aligning with a potential sell-side setup. If implemented, the strategy would have triggered an entry on a break below 0.00585, with a stop-loss above 0.00593 and a target at 0.00570. While this scenario was not triggered during the 24-hour period, the structure of the move fits the strategy’s assumptions about price behavior in high-volatility bearish conditions.
