Acala Token/Tether (ACAUSDT) opened at $0.0164 on 2025-11-08 at 12:00 ET-1 and closed at $0.0171 by 12:00 ET the same day. The pair reached a high of $0.0184 and dipped to a low of $0.0163 during the 24-hour window. Total volume was approximately 195 million ACA, and notional turnover was around $3.3 million.

Structure and formations over the 15-minute chart reveal a key support zone forming around $0.0168–$0.0170, with repeated consolidation in that range. A bullish engulfing pattern emerged during the 17:00–17:30 ET session, indicating a short-term reversal. Later in the day, a strong upward move to $0.0184 and back to $0.0172 created a potential bearish divergence in the price and volume action. A doji formed at $0.0184, hinting at potential indecision ahead.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart have been rising, with the 20SMA crossing above the 50SMA during the early morning session, suggesting short-term bullish momentum. However, the 15-minute MACD histogram has shown a peak in the midday ET rally and has since started to contract, signaling weakening momentum. The RSI-14 approached the overbought level of 70 during the sharp rally, raising the possibility of a near-term pullback.

Bollinger Bands indicate moderate volatility, with the price spending much of the day within one standard deviation of the 20-period SMA. A volatility expansion occurred during the 15:00–15:30 ET session when the pair moved above the upper band, reaching $0.0184 before retracting. This suggests heightened short-term risk and potential mean reversion.

Volume and turnover show a strong increase during the 15:00–15:30 ET rally, with volume spiking to over 111 million ACA in that interval. However, the following 15:30–15:45 ET session saw a sharp drop in both volume and price, indicating possible profit-taking. The price and turnover appear to align in confirming the strength and exhaustion of the rally.

Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the 15-minute swing from $0.0163 to $0.0184 highlight key levels at 38.2% ($0.0175) and 61.8% ($0.0171), both of which have been touched in the past 24 hours. The price currently appears to be hovering near the 61.8% level, suggesting a potential area of consolidation or a short-term reversal point.

Backtest Hypothesis
The proposed RSI-14-based backtest aims to identify potential overbought conditions and evaluate their predictive value for a 3-day holding period. While the RSI data was temporarily unavailable during retrieval, the observed price behavior aligns with typical RSI-14 overbought conditions—suggesting that a signal could have been generated during the 15:00–15:30 ET rally. If applied consistently, such a strategy would focus on short-term exits or hedging during overextended movements. However, the success of such a strategy would depend on market conditions and the pairing of RSI with other confirmatory signals.

Looking ahead, ACAUSDT appears to be in a period of consolidation after a sharp rally, with key support near $0.0168–$0.0170. A break below that range could lead to a retest of the 24-hour low at $0.0163. Investors should remain cautious as the overbought RSI and volatility expansion suggest short-term mean reversion risk.
