The Solana/Mexican Peso (SOLMXN) pair opened at 4,148 MXN on 2025-09-10 at 12:00 ET, reached a high of 4,208 MXN, and closed at 4,184 MXN on 2025-09-11 at 12:00 ET. Total volume was 18.58 units over the 24-hour period, with notional turnover estimated at 78,153 MXN. Price remained in a tight range for most of the session before a late surge lifted it closer to the day's high, though it failed to hold those gains.

Structure & Formations

SOLMXN remained range-bound within a key 4,148 MXN to 4,208 MXN bracket for much of the session. A doji formed at the top of this range in early morning trading, signaling indecision. A bullish engulfing pattern briefly emerged around 02:45 ET as price jumped from 4,171 MXN to 4,208 MXN, but it failed to hold. The 4,148 MXN level served as a consistent support, with price testing it 25 times without breaking below. A late rally to 4,208 MXN failed to follow through, suggesting that resistance at 4,208 MXN remains intact.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages were closely aligned with the price, indicating a lack of directional bias. Price remained above the 20-period MA for much of the session, but the MA crossed below the 50-period MA toward the end of the session, signaling a potential weakening in momentum. On the daily chart, the 50/100/200 MA structure is neutral, with price hovering around the 200 MA. This suggests a continuation of sideways consolidation.

MACD & RSI

MACD remained flat throughout the session, with the histogram showing no clear momentum buildup. A brief bullish divergence was observed during the late rally, but it faded as price failed to sustain the move. RSI hovered around the 50 neutral level for most of the session, with a small dip below 50 during the initial consolidation phase. While no overbought or oversold conditions were reached, RSI did show signs of flattening as price approached 4,208 MXN, suggesting caution for further upward moves.

Backtest Hypothesis

The provided backtesting strategy involves entering long positions when price closes above the 20-period moving average and RSI crosses above 50, with a stop-loss placed at the 4,148 MXN support level. Given the current structure of SOLMXN, such a strategy could have triggered a buy signal during the early morning consolidation phase, particularly around 02:45 ET when price briefly surged above the 20-period MA. However, the failure to hold above 4,208 MXN and the fading RSI momentum suggest that the strategy may struggle with false breakouts in this sideways market. A refinement to include volume filters (e.g., confirming strong volume on bullish closes) could improve signal reliability in this range.

Bollinger Bands

Price remained within the Bollinger Bands for most of the session, with the bands expanding slightly during the late rally. At its peak, price reached the upper band at 4,208 MXN before pulling back. The standard deviation reading indicated moderate volatility, with no clear contraction or expansion beyond normal levels. The lack of a significant breakout from the bands reinforces the current range-bound nature of the market.

Volume & Turnover

Volume was generally subdued throughout the session, with most candles showing zero volume. A notable exception occurred at 02:45 ET when a 5.503 unit volume triggered a 37-point move upward. This suggests a short-lived institutional push but failed to translate into broader market adoption. The overall notional turnover of 78,153 MXN is relatively low for a 24-hour period, indicating limited participation and interest in the pair. Price and volume moved in line during the 02:45 ET rally, providing a brief confirmation of strength, but this did not hold into the following hours.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the 4,148 MXN to 4,208 MXN move reveals potential levels of interest. The 38.2% retracement level at 4,179 MXN was briefly touched during consolidation, and the 61.8% level at 4,183 MXN was close to the final 12:00 ET close. This suggests that the current price near 4,184 MXN could find initial support at 4,183 MXN before potentially moving back toward the 4,148 MXN base level.

Forward Outlook and Risk Caveat

In the next 24 hours, SOLMXN could remain range-bound between 4,148 MXN and 4,208 MXN as buyers appear hesitant to commit to a directional move. A sustained close above 4,208 MXN would be a necessary condition for a breakout scenario, but this seems unlikely without a meaningful increase in volume and momentum. Investors should be cautious about entering long positions without confirmation above 4,208 MXN and should consider placing stop-loss orders near the 4,148 MXN support level to manage downside risk.
