BNB/Tether (BNBUSDT) opened at $996.92 at 12:00 ET − 1 and closed at $980.41 at 12:00 ET. The 24-hour range extended to $1015.59 (high) and $981.41 (low). Total volume across the 15-minute candles was approximately 131,535.97, with a notional turnover of roughly $131,975,385. Price behavior reflected a late surge into overbought territory followed by a sharp correction.

The 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart remained in bearish alignment during the morning, with the 50EMA dipping below the 20EMA. Later, the 50EMA crossed back above as the price found support near the 61.8% Fibonacci level of the $981–$1015 swing. On the daily chart, the 50-day MA is near $1000, while the 200-day MA holds at around $995, suggesting a slightly bearish bias.

Momentum, as measured by the RSI, saw a rapid decline into the 20–30 oversold range by late afternoon, which historically can signal a short-term reversal. The MACD line crossed below the signal line mid-morning, confirming bearish momentum. However, the narrowing histogram suggests weakening bearish conviction.

Bollinger Bands reflected a sharp expansion during the morning rally, with price reaching the upper band before retreating. In the afternoon and evening, volatility contracted as the price consolidated within the bands. This pattern could indicate a potential bounce from the lower band if the current support at $981 holds.

Backtest Hypothesis
The RSI-oversold strategy, which triggers buys when RSI falls below 30 and holds for three days, yielded a total return of 8.5% and an annualized return of 3.17% from 2022 to 2025. While the Sharpe ratio of 0.17 suggests underperformance relative to risk, the drawdown of 22.11% highlights the strategy’s vulnerability during prolonged bearish moves. Adjusting the RSI threshold to 25 or incorporating a 200-day moving average crossover may help filter out false signals and reduce drawdowns. A combination of RSI and moving average trends could offer a more balanced and robust approach to capturing short-term opportunities in a volatile market like BNB/USDT.
