The Beefy/Tether (BIFIUSDT) pair opened at $177.1 on 2025-10-05 at 16:00 ET and closed at $176.4 on 2025-10-06 at 16:00 ET. The price reached a high of $178.1 and a low of $172.4 over the 24-hour period. Total volume was 1,581.833, while turnover amounted to $275,664.37. The pair saw a gradual descent after midday ET, followed by a recovery in the afternoon.

Key support levels formed at $173.0 and $172.4, with resistance forming at $176.5 and $177.1. A bearish engulfing pattern was visible at the start of the decline, followed by a bullish hammer pattern near the daily close. No strong doji or reversal patterns were observed, but price appeared to consolidate within a defined range.

The 15-minute 20SMA crossed below the 50SMA during the price decline, signaling a bearish bias in the short term. The daily 50/100/200SMA showed a slightly bullish alignment, suggesting potential for a longer-term recovery. MACD remained near the signal line with no clear divergence, while RSI hovered in neutral territory, showing no overbought or oversold conditions. Bollinger Bands remained stable, with price staying within the 1- to 2-standard deviation range, indicating moderate volatility.

Volume surged at key support and resistance levels, particularly around $173.0 and $176.5, which suggests increased participation at pivotal price levels. Notional turnover aligned with these volume spikes, indicating no divergence in price and turnover. Fibonacci retracement levels (38.2% at $174.8 and 61.8% at $176.4) coincided with recent price consolidation areas, suggesting possible retests of these levels.

The pair could see a continuation of the recent consolidation pattern in the coming 24 hours, with a potential test of the 176.4–177.1 resistance range. A break above $177.3 could target the next key Fibonacci level at $177.8, while a drop below $173.0 could trigger renewed bearish momentum. Investors should monitor volume and RSI for signs of exhaustion or strength.

Backtest Hypothesis

The provided backtest strategy involves entering a long position when the 15-minute 20SMA crosses above the 50SMA and RSI is below 50, with a stop-loss set at the previous swing low. A short position is entered when the 20SMA crosses below the 50SMA and RSI is above 50, with a stop-loss at the previous swing high. In the recent BIFIUSDT data, this strategy would have triggered several short entries during the afternoon decline and one long entry during the recovery phase. The strategy appears to align with observed price behavior at key Fibonacci levels and support/resistance zones. However, due to the moderate volatility and lack of strong directional momentum, the strategy may generate mixed results unless combined with additional filters like volume divergence or trend strength.
