Structure & Formations

The price formed a small bullish flag pattern around $0.01202–$0.01206 following a brief rally from the morning. However, the pattern failed to confirm, with a bearish rejection forming from $0.01224. A key support level was identified around $0.01195–$0.01200, where the price found temporary buying interest multiple times. A bearish doji appeared at $0.01213, signaling indecision and potential reversal after an upward move.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period SMAs crossed in a bearish divergence in the late afternoon, with the 50-period SMA falling below the 20-period SMA. Daily SMAs, including the 50, 100, and 200-period lines, all show the price trading below them, reinforcing a bearish bias in the broader trend.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram expanded negatively after 18:00 ET, confirming bearish momentum. RSI hovered between 40 and 55 for most of the day, staying in neutral territory. A brief overbought condition occurred around 21:00 ET when RSI hit 60, but it quickly corrected. RSI and price diverged slightly in the early morning as price dipped below $0.0117 while RSI remained stable, suggesting potential oversold conditions.

Bollinger Bands

Price remained within the Bollinger Bands for most of the 24-hour period, with the exception of a short excursion above the upper band at $0.01224. Volatility expanded in the late afternoon, widening the bands, but the price eventually returned to a narrow range in the overnight session. This suggests a period of increased uncertainty followed by a return to consolidation.

Volume & Turnover

Trading volume spiked around $0.01202–$0.01206 in the afternoon, coinciding with a failed bullish breakout. The total volume of 38.8 million USDT confirmed the significance of this level. Turnover mirrored volume closely, with no significant divergence observed. A bearish volume confirmation occurred after the 21:30 ET high, where volume increased on the downward move, supporting the bearish reversal.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the $0.01164–$0.01224 swing revealed key levels at $0.01187 (38.2%) and $0.01196 (50%), where the price found support multiple times. A potential target for a deeper correction is the 61.8% level at $0.01194. On the daily chart, the 23.6% level at $0.01175 is the immediate support, with a breakdown below $0.01164 suggesting continuation of the bearish trend.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy involves using RSI to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the FIOUSDT pair. Given the challenges in confirming the ticker, it's crucial to ensure the correct symbol and exchange (e.g., Binance’s FIOUSDT) is used for data retrieval. Using a standard 14-period RSI with overbought defined as RSI > 70 and oversold as RSI < 30, a strategy could involve entering long positions when RSI dips below 30 and exits after three days. Conversely, short positions could be triggered when RSI exceeds 70, holding for the same duration. This would be backtested over the period from January 1, 2022, to today. The results could provide insight into the effectiveness of RSI as a standalone indicator for FIO Protocol/Tether trading.
