World Liberty Financial/Tether (WLFIUSDT) opened at 0.1274 at 12:00 ET–1 and closed at 0.1255 at 12:00 ET, with a 24-hour high of 0.128 and a low of 0.1187. Total volume reached 92,781,185.6, and notional turnover was approximately $11,749,746.45, reflecting moderate liquidity but a directional bias toward bearish sentiment.

The 24-hour 15-minute chart reveals a clear breakdown from a key support cluster between 0.1206 and 0.1207. A large-volume candle at 21:15 ET–1 (2025-10-22 211500) closed at 0.1206 after a sharp drop from 0.1233 to 0.1187, signaling a bearish breakout. Price then consolidated briefly around 0.1206–0.1215 before testing and failing to rebound off 0.1234. Key Fibonacci retracement levels at 0.1214 (38.2%) and 0.1227 (61.8%) acted as temporary resistance, but momentum remained weak.

Looking at the moving averages, the 20-period and 50-period lines on the 15-minute chart have diverged, with the 20SMA now well below the 50SMA, indicating bearish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period line is approaching the 200-period line, suggesting a potential trend shift into consolidation or bearish bias in the near term. The 20-day EMA is currently at 0.1268, providing a dynamic resistance level above current prices.

MACD on the 15-minute chart turned bearish with a negative crossover, while RSI has remained in oversold territory since the breakdown, indicating a potential for a short-term rebound but with limited upside. Bollinger Bands have widened significantly following the breakdown, with price currently hovering just above the lower band, suggesting a volatile but bearish phase.

Volume spiked during the breakdown phase at 21:15 ET–1 and again at 06:30 ET, when price briefly tested 0.1267. The second spike, however, failed to push price above 0.1234, signaling rejection and weak follow-through buying. Notional turnover rose in tandem with these spikes, aligning with price action and confirming the bearish sentiment. Divergences between price and volume are minimal, suggesting conviction in the bearish move.

In the coming 24 hours, WLFIUSDT may test the immediate support at 0.1246 and 0.1234 if bears continue to control momentum. A rebound above 0.1234 could signal a short-term bounce, but a break below 0.1246 may expose the 0.1206–0.1207 support level once more. Investors should monitor for a potential short-covering rally but remain cautious given the bearish divergence in momentum indicators.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtest strategy proposed—“Support-level breakout, hold until next resistance”—can be operationalized using the 20-period low as a dynamic support level and the 20-period high as resistance. A breakout is defined as the close falling below the 20-period low, triggering a short position. The exit is when the close hits the 20-period high. Using daily closes as the price series and applying this to the 2022–2025 dataset will allow for a robust validation of the strategy’s viability on WLFIUSDT. Including risk controls like a 5% stop-loss and a maximum holding period of 10 days would improve the strategy’s risk-adjusted returns and avoid prolonged exposure during volatile moves. This framework will be applied in backtesting to evaluate performance metrics such as win rate, Sharpe ratio, and maximum drawdown.
