Ethereum/Rand (ETHZAR) opened at 67391.0 ZAR on 2025-11-01 12:00 ET, peaked at 67870.0 ZAR, and closed at 67016.0 ZAR at 12:00 ET. The 24-hour volume totaled 0.9743 ETH, while notional turnover was minimal due to low trade volume. The price formed bearish structures as it drifted lower in the early hours and accelerated downward after 05:00 ET.

The 15-minute chart shows Ethereum/Rand (ETHZAR) failing to hold the 67391.0 ZAR support level, forming a series of lower lows after a brief attempt to rally from 67302.0 to 67870.0 ZAR. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages both trended downward throughout the session, reinforcing the bearish bias. A 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the 67302.0–67870.0 ZAR move aligned closely with the 67082.0 ZAR level, where price found a temporary floor before breaking down further. The 15-minute Bollinger Bands widened significantly during the afternoon as volatility increased, with the price closing near the lower band, indicating exhausted selling pressure or consolidation.

At the close, the RSI for the ETHZAR pair hovered near oversold levels, hinting at a potential short-term bounce. However, the absence of strong volume to confirm this bearish exhaustion suggests a continuation of the downtrend is more likely. The MACD histogram remained bearish, with negative divergences between price and momentum. While not all technical signals are aligned, the overall structure supports a continuation lower toward the next Fibonacci level at 66845.0 ZAR. Investors should remain cautious as a false break or a test of the 67082.0 ZAR level could trigger a short-term rebound.

The next 24 hours may see Ethereum/Rand (ETHZAR) testing the 67082.0 ZAR level for support, with a potential bounce or breakdown depending on volume participation. A breakout above 67417.0 ZAR would signal a reversal of the bearish bias, but this appears unlikely given current momentum.

Backtest Hypothesis
To test the validity of a potential ETHZAR-based strategy, a 5-day MACD Golden Cross backtest is proposed. This strategy relies on the intersection of the MACD line and signal line to identify potential long entries. However, the technical-indicator dataset currently does not recognize the symbol "ETHZAR," likely due to naming conventions or data source limitations. To proceed, a valid price series is required—either a confirmed alternative symbol (e.g., ETHZAR=X), a proxy like ETHUSD, or a custom CSV file of ETHZAR prices. Once a clean price feed is secured, the backtest can be conducted from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-02, and results will include key metrics such as annualized return, maximum drawdown, and Sharpe ratio.
