Market Overview
DIA/Tether (DIAUSDT) opened at
0.4425 on 2025-11-06 at 12:00 ET and reached an intraday high of
0.493 before closing at
0.493 by 12:00 ET. The 24-hour range was
0.4343 to 0.493, with a total traded
volume of ~1,254,788.6 and
notional turnover of ~606,039.6. Price action suggests a strong bullish reversal in late hours.
The 15-minute chart revealed a key Bullish Engulfing pattern forming at 0.448, followed by a strong follow-through move above 0.460. On the 20-period moving average, price remained above the 20 and 50 lines, indicating upward bias. The 50-period moving average on the daily chart showed a similar bullish crossover.
MACD and RSI
The MACD crossed above zero in late hours, signaling renewed bullish momentum. RSI moved into overbought territory (70+) during the final hours, suggesting caution ahead, though it may indicate a short-term continuation of the upward trend.
Bollinger Bands and Volatility
Volatility widened significantly during the 22:00–24:00 ET timeframe, with price breaking above the upper band. This suggests a period of strong conviction buying, possibly driven by macro or sector-specific catalysts.
Volume and Turnover
Volume spiked to over
76,939.6 during the final 15-minute candle of the session, aligning with a strong price move above 0.487. Turnover confirmed the bullish bias with no clear divergence between price and volume.
Fibonacci Retracements
Recent swings from 0.442 to 0.493 show key Fibonacci levels at
0.466 (38.2%) and
0.480 (61.8%). Price found resistance around 0.493, potentially setting up for a test of the upper band and a pullback into the 0.480–0.466 range.
Backtest Hypothesis
The recent price action aligns with a basic strategy using
Bullish Engulfing patterns as entry triggers and a 3-day hold period, but the test results from 2022–2025 show
limited profitability. With a total return of
-5.09% and a Sharpe ratio of
-0.24, the strategy underperforms a buy-and-hold. This suggests that while the pattern occasionally captures strong moves, it lacks consistency and risk management.
To improve the strategy, a confirmation filter—such as a rising 50-period moving average—could help reduce false signals. Adding stop-loss and take-profit targets could also enhance risk-adjusted returns. Given the high volatility seen in the final hours, a more dynamic approach to exits might be particularly beneficial in this market.
