At 12:00 ET−1, dForce/Tether (DFUSDT) opened at 0.01934, reaching a 24-hour high of 0.02007 before closing at 0.02003. The pair traded between 0.0177 and 0.02007, with total volume of 231,528.8 and turnover of $5.19M. The price action showed a strong reversal after a bearish consolidation, marked by a key 15-minute bullish breakout at 16:00 ET.

The 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart crossed in a bullish alignment, supporting the late-day rally. Notable candlestick patterns include a strong green body at 16:00 ET and a morning doji at 00:00 ET that signaled indecision. Key support levels appear at 0.0189–0.0190 and 0.0187, while resistance is forming around 0.0200–0.0201.

MACD showed a bullish crossover in the final hour, with the histogram expanding as momentum increased. RSI reached overbought territory (75–80) as the price surged above 0.02000, indicating potential exhaustion. Bollinger Bands tightened between 00:00 and 16:00 ET before a sharp expansion that saw price close near the upper band. This suggests heightened volatility and potential for a retest of recent highs or pullback toward the 0.0194–0.0195 level.

Volume spiked to $2.04M at 16:00 ET during the bullish reversal, aligning with the price surge. Turnover also increased significantly in the final 30 minutes, confirming the move. Fibonacci retracement levels on the 15-minute swing from 0.0189 to 0.02007 show 61.8% at 0.01966, already breached, with 78.6% at 0.01986 as the next potential target. However, overbought RSI suggests a pullback may be imminent.

Backtest Hypothesis

The described backtesting strategy aims to capitalize on late-day bullish reversals using a combination of RSI overbought levels and Bollinger Band breakout conditions. This approach would have entered long at 16:00 ET when the price closed above the upper band and RSI crossed into overbought territory. A stop-loss at 0.0194 and a target at 0.0201 would have captured the subsequent 15-minute move. Given the volume confirmation and strong MACD divergence, this setup appears valid for a short-term trade. The strategy could be refined with tighter exit parameters as volatility normalizes.
