The TUSDUSDT pair opened at 0.9987 on 2025-10-07 12:00 ET, reached a high of 0.9990, a low of 0.9985, and closed at 0.9988 on 2025-10-08 12:00 ET. Total volume over the 24-hour period was 111,284.0, with a turnover of approximately 110,705.4 (price × volume). The pair remained tightly pegged to its 1:1 ratio, with only minor fluctuations within a narrow range.

Over the past 24 hours, TUSDUSDT exhibited a relatively flat price profile, with the price oscillating between 0.9985 and 0.9990. The pair briefly touched 0.9990 in the early morning hours of 2025-10-08 before retracing to the lower end of the range. This suggests a stable, low-volatility environment with minimal deviation from the expected peg. The absence of strong bullish or bearish candlestick patterns such as engulfing or doji indicates no significant shift in sentiment or trading behavior.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart show the price hovering around the 20-period and 50-period moving averages, reinforcing the lack of strong momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-, 100-, and 200-period moving averages are closely aligned, suggesting a continuation of the stable, sideways trend. MACD indicators remain near zero with no clear divergence, while RSI is in the lower 40s, indicating neither overbought nor oversold conditions. Bollinger Bands appear to be narrowing slightly, which may signal a potential breakout or continuation of the current range-bound pattern.

The volume profile shows higher activity during the overnight hours, with several spikes in the 0200–0500 ET range. Notably, a large volume of 23,384.0 was recorded at 0915 ET on 2025-1008, corresponding to a brief price increase to 0.9990. However, the price quickly retreated to 0.9988–0.9989 without a corresponding increase in volume or momentum, indicating limited conviction in the move higher. No significant divergence was observed between price and volume or turnover, suggesting a relatively balanced market.

Fibonacci retracement levels on the 15-minute chart show the price testing the 0.9987–0.9989 range, with the 38.2% and 61.8% levels coinciding with key support and resistance levels observed in recent price action. On the daily chart, the 0.9987 level appears to act as a key support, while 0.9990 serves as a potential resistance. The price appears to be consolidating within this range, with no clear indication of a breakout in either direction.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy described involves identifying low-volatility, range-bound periods in stable crypto pairs such as TUSDUSDT. During such periods, the hypothesis suggests entering a neutral-to-long position as the price approaches the lower bound of the range and exiting when it reaches the upper bound, or vice versa. Given the tight consolidation observed over the past 24 hours, this approach could be applicable if the current range persists or expands slightly. The key would be to use Bollinger Bands and Fibonacci retracements as dynamic support/resistance markers to enter and exit with minimal slippage. However, given the low RSI and flat MACD, it may be prudent to wait for a clearer breakout signal before executing trades.
