Cardano/Tether (ADAUSDT) opened at 0.7749 on 2025-09-26 at 12:00 ET and closed at 0.7854 on 2025-09-27 at 12:00 ET, reaching a high of 0.7964 and a low of 0.7739. Total 15-minute volume over the 24-hour period was 75.5 million ADA, with a notional turnover of approximately $58.9 million (assuming $1 = 1 Tether).

The price structure displayed a bullish reversal from the 0.7739 support level, forming a series of higher highs and higher lows. A key engulfing pattern emerged at 0.786 as price surged past resistance, indicating strong buying pressure. The 0.781–0.783 area remains critical support, having been tested multiple times with buying stepping in. A 20-period and 50-period EMA on the 15-minute chart shows a bullish crossover, reinforcing the momentum toward the next target at 0.79.

MACD crossed above the zero line with positive divergence, suggesting continued upward bias. RSI remains in overbought territory (currently at ~68), though not extreme, hinting at potential for continuation or consolidation. Bollinger Bands expanded during the Asian and European sessions, reflecting increased volatility, with price staying above the 20-period SMA, a sign of momentum favoring the bullish side.

Fibonacci retracements from the 0.7739–0.7964 move show 61.8% at 0.787 and 78.6% at 0.792 as potential psychological targets. However, divergence in turnover suggests a pullback could be imminent before a breakout attempt. The 50/100/200-period EMAs on the daily chart appear to be converging, which may lead to a consolidation phase if ADAUSDT fails to break above 0.79.

Backtest Hypothesis
The provided backtesting strategy focuses on a 15-minute timeframe trade setup using a bullish engulfing pattern, a close above the 20-period EMA, and a MACD crossover above zero as entry triggers, with a stop-loss placed below the nearest support level. A take-profit is set at the 61.8% Fibonacci level. Applying this strategy to the given data, an entry could have been triggered at 0.786 (on the 19:30 candle), with a stop-loss at 0.784 and a target of 0.787. The trade would have captured a modest 0.24% gain before price pulled back. While the setup appears valid, its effectiveness may vary with larger timeframes or in the absence of strong volume confirmation.
