Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the key swing from 4.363 to 4.379, 61.8% retrace levels sit near 4.371–4.372, which was heavily tested in the 00:00–03:00 ET period. A 38.2% retracement level near 4.375 also saw price consolidation, suggesting a potential pivot zone.

Backtest Hypothesis

The observed RSI overbought condition at 4.379 aligns with the strategy of buying USDC when RSI hits overbought levels and managing risk via 2% stop-loss and 5% target. This approach appears well-suited to the recent volatility, as seen in the consolidation near 4.375–4.378 and the sharp rebounds from key support. The 2% stop-loss at 4.369–4.370 offers a reasonable downside buffer, while the 5% target of 4.598 (if reached) would represent a strong profit capture. This strategy could be particularly effective in a range-bound or trending environment, given the tight control on downside risk and defined profit-taking levels.
