Nillion/Tether (NILUSDT) opened at 0.3163 on October 24 at 12:00 ET and closed at 0.3195 on October 25 at 12:00 ET, with a 24-hour high of 0.3260 and low of 0.3127. Total volume for the 24-hour period was 1,694,618.7 contracts, while notional turnover amounted to $534,809.11. The price action saw a sharp bearish correction early in the morning before a recovery that pushed the pair toward key resistance levels.

On the 15-minute chart, price formed a strong engulfing bullish candle at 09:30 ET, with a close of 0.3182, suggesting a short-term reversal. This occurred after a consolidation phase between 0.3165 and 0.3185 over the previous 2.5 hours. The formation indicates strong buyer participation, particularly after a period of low volatility. Price then moved to test key resistance at 0.3215–0.3220, with a failed attempt to break above the upper bounds of a developing Bollinger Band contraction, which had preceded the morning’s sharp drop.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages were both bullish, with the 20SMA at 0.3178 and 50SMA at 0.3168, indicating short-term bullish momentum. RSI rose above 70 twice during the day, suggesting overbought conditions, particularly during the recovery from 01:15 ET. However, the price failed to sustain above the 0.3215 resistance level, indicating potential exhaustion. MACD crossed above the signal line at 12:15 ET, signaling a potential short-term bullish bias, though the move remained within the bounds of a wider consolidation pattern.

Fibonacci retracements showed the 50% level at 0.3196 acting as a critical support and resistance cluster. The 61.8% level at 0.3217 was tested but not broken, suggesting traders are cautious about a new leg higher. Volume surged during the morning drop, with a spike of 197,587.9 at 01:15 ET, and again during the post-09:30 ET rally. Notional turnover confirmed volume patterns, aligning with price direction.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the strong overbought RSI readings and the MACD golden cross at 12:15 ET, it may be prudent to explore a one-day trading strategy. If we use the described rules—RSI ≥ 70 and MACD crossing above signal line on the same day—this could generate a short-term bullish signal. For example, if both conditions were met at 12:15 ET, an entry could be triggered, with a one-day holding period and an exit at the close of the next candle. This approach may be effective in a market showing clear momentum shifts like NILUSDT. For accuracy, confirming the correct ticker format (e.g., NEOUSDT) and data source is essential.
