The FIO Protocol/Tether (FIOUSDT) pair opened at 0.0113 on 2025-10-30 at 12:00 ET and reached a 24-hour high of 0.01155. It closed at 0.01146 as of 12:00 ET on 2025-10-31. Total volume for the 24-hour period amounted to 16.3 million contracts, with a notional turnover of approximately $1.86 million. Price action showed a sharp rally in the early hours, followed by consolidation and a minor pullback in the final hours.

On the 15-minute chart, price formed a short-term bearish pattern after reaching the high, with a potential bearish engulfing pattern forming near 0.01155. Support levels appear to be forming around 0.01130 and 0.01118, with resistance clustering near 0.01155 and 0.01161. A key 20-period moving average crossed above the 50-period line earlier in the session, suggesting bullish momentum, although it is now flattening as the rally shows signs of exhaustion.

Momentum indicators such as RSI and MACD signal that the recent rally is nearing overbought territory. RSI rose above 60 in the early hours and has since declined, suggesting a potential correction could be imminent. MACD is still above zero but with a shrinking histogram, indicating weakening bullish momentum. Bollinger Bands have been in a period of contraction in the morning, which typically precedes a breakout, though the direction remains uncertain.

Volume spiked overnight during the price rally but has since declined significantly in the last 6 hours, suggesting traders may be pausing to reassess the market. Turnover and volume appear aligned with the move higher, but diverging volume in the morning hours hints at potential indecision. A breakdown below 0.01130 would expose the next support at 0.01118 and could trigger further selling pressure. Traders should watch for a breakout above 0.01155 for confirmation of a bullish continuation.

Backtest Hypothesis

The proposed backtesting strategy focuses on RSI-based entry signals, particularly when RSI falls into the oversold territory (typically below 30) and confirms a 3-day holding rule. Given the recent RSI activity for FIOUSDT, it appears the market has not yet entered an oversold state during this 24-hour window, indicating a potential lack of buy-the-dip activity. However, if the price continues to consolidate and RSI dips into oversold levels in the coming days, this could serve as a low-risk entry signal. A backtest from 2022-01-01 to present using this strategy, if applied strictly on a 15-minute chart, could offer insights into the effectiveness of RSI-based entries in volatile altcoin pairs like FIO/USDT. The current price behavior suggests such a strategy would need robust filters to avoid false signals during extended consolidation periods.
