The eCash/Tether (XECUSDT) pair opened at $0.00001337 at 12:00 ET-1 and closed at $0.00001347 at 12:00 ET today, reaching a high of $0.00001366 and a low of $0.00001309. The 24-hour volume was 103,966,380,403.00 XEC, with a notional turnover of $13,818,295. The market exhibited increased participation, particularly during overnight hours, as volume spiked above $3.9 billion in the 00:30–01:00 ET timeframe.

Structure on the 15-minute chart shows a bullish bias with a clear upward thrust from the 0.00001325 support level, breaking through multiple minor resistance levels. A bullish engulfing pattern was formed in the early hours of the morning at the $0.00001337–$0.00001351 range, which reinforced the upward momentum. A potential resistance zone appears near $0.00001366, where a bearish reversal could emerge. A doji formed in the afternoon, suggesting indecision and the potential for a consolidation phase.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart show price above both the 20-period (SMA20) and 50-period (SMA50) lines, which were at $0.00001343 and $0.00001341 respectively. This confirms the short-term bullish trend. On the daily chart, price appears to be consolidating between the 50-period and 100-period moving averages, indicating potential indecision for the broader trend.

MACD on the 15-minute chart shows a positive divergence, with the histogram expanding as price pushed higher. RSI reached above 70 at the high, signaling overbought conditions. However, price showed no signs of correction, indicating potential follow-through. Bollinger Bands were moderately wide, with price staying near the upper band at $0.00001366, reflecting above-average volatility.

Fibonacci retracements on the key 15-minute swing from $0.00001325 to $0.00001366 show the pair testing 61.8% ($0.00001353) and 78.6% ($0.00001361) levels. A break above $0.00001366 could target the 127% extension at $0.00001377. On the daily chart, Fibonacci levels suggest possible support at $0.00001325 (61.8%) and resistance at $0.00001375 (127%).

Volume increased notably after the 00:30 ET timeframe, with a single 15-minute candle generating $3.9 billion in notional turnover. This suggests strong accumulation or distribution activity. However, price failed to close above the high of that candle, indicating potential exhaustion at that level. Divergences between volume and price were minimal, suggesting a relatively cohesive trend.

Backtest Hypothesis

The proposed backtest strategy aims to evaluate a long-biased entry when eCash/Tether (XECUSDT) exhibits overbought RSI levels (RSI > 70 on a 14-period daily basis) combined with strong volume confirmation, suggesting a continuation of the trend rather than a reversal. A potential exit would occur upon a bearish reversal pattern or when RSI falls below 50, indicating waning momentum. This approach would be backtested over the period from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-04, focusing on daily data from Binance. The performance would be measured against a buy-and-hold baseline, with attention to drawdowns, win rate, and Sharpe ratio.

Looking ahead, traders should monitor the $0.00001366 level for a potential breakout or reversal. A break above this could attract more buyers, but a failure to sustain above this threshold might lead to a pullback toward $0.00001345 or even the 38.2% Fibonacci level at $0.00001341. Investors should be mindful of the thin support at $0.00001325 and the high volume divergence that might hint at a distribution event in the short term.
