Fibonacci Retracements

Recent 15-minute retracements placed key levels at 0.2933 (38.2%), 0.2909 (50%), and 0.2884 (61.8%). Daily retracements from the 0.2963 high to the 0.2774 low show 38.2% at 0.2896 and 61.8% at 0.2836. A break below 0.2836 could see price testing 0.2790–0.2774.

Backtest Hypothesis

The RSI-based strategy, backtested from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-10 on OPENUSDT, assumes a long position when RSI exceeds 70, with an exit on the first session where RSI drops below 70. During the current 24-hour session, RSI briefly reached overbought levels but failed to sustain them, which would have triggered an exit under this strategy. This aligns with the observed price behavior—suggesting a high probability of a continued bearish bias. A refined version of this strategy could incorporate stop-loss or take-profit levels based on Fibonacci or Bollinger Band thresholds identified in this report.
