The Stellar/Tether pair (XLMUSDT) opened at $0.2889 on 2025-11-11 at 12:00 ET, reached a high of $0.295, and hit a low of $0.2767 before closing at $0.2893 on 2025-11-12 at 12:00 ET. Total volume was 50.6 million XLM, with a notional turnover of approximately $14,450,000 over 24 hours.

The price action reflected a volatile session, driven by sharp selloffs that occurred after key support levels were pierced. A strong bearish momentum was confirmed by the RSI dipping below 30, signaling a temporary oversold condition. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart remained in a bearish alignment, with price failing to close above the 50 SMA for much of the session. However, a series of long lower shadows near $0.281 and $0.2795 hinted at increasing buyer interest during the decline.

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the late afternoon and early evening hours, as price moved from the upper to the lower band, indicating growing volatility and uncertainty. A key support level appeared to form in the $0.2790–$0.2810 range, with several candles forming bullish engulfing patterns and indecision doji, suggesting possible short-term stabilization. The Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level from the $0.2767 low to the $0.295 high sits at ~$0.283, a level that has seen multiple bounces in the past 24 hours.

Looking ahead, XLMUSDT appears to be in a transitional phase, with bearish pressure temporarily exhausted. A potential rebound may test the $0.285–$0.286 resistance zone, but a failure to hold above the $0.2810 support could lead to a retest of the $0.2767 low. Investors should remain cautious of the wide price swings and unpredictable volume surges, particularly if the market continues to trade in a choppy range.

MACD & RSI provided mixed signals, with the MACD line hovering below the signal line and RSI near oversold levels, indicating a possible short-term bounce. However, the divergence between weak price action and improving momentum indicators is not yet clear enough to confirm a reversal. The next 24 hours will be critical for assessing whether buying pressure can establish a new short-term base or if bearish momentum will resume.

Backtest Hypothesis

The MACD indicator is a key tool for assessing trend strength and potential reversals, and the lack of usable historical MACD data for “XLMUSDT” poses a limitation for this strategy. The error likely stems from either an incorrect symbol format or a missing data source for the requested timeframe. To proceed effectively, specifying a more precise symbol format such as “BINANCE:XLMBUSD” or “BINANCE:XLMBTC” may help retrieve valid MACD data. Alternatively, testing with a different indicator such as RSI or stochastic oscillator could provide similar momentum insights without the same data constraints. If a backtest is still desired, I can implement a RSI-based strategy using the available data and refine the symbol if needed for future iterations.
