The total volume was 18,050,324.5 units, with a notional turnover of $9,045,238.4 based on average pricing. The pair remained range-bound for most of the session, showing no clear directional bias despite moderate volume surges during overnight and mid-day trading.

On the 15-minute chart, the price action appears to oscillate between two minor support and resistance levels around 1.0001 and 1.0004. A few bearish shadows and small bullish bodies suggest market indecision, with neither buyers nor sellers asserting dominance. No strong engulfing or reversal patterns emerged, indicating a continuation of the current consolidation. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages are closely aligned near the 1.0002–1.0003 range, suggesting a flat trend with no immediate directional bias.

Bollinger Bands reflect a period of low volatility, with prices staying near the middle band and the bands themselves relatively narrow. This suggests a period of consolidation rather than a breakout. The RSI has remained in the mid-range, indicating balanced momentum, while the MACD lines hover near zero with no clear divergence. These indicators suggest that the market is in a state of balance with no immediate impetus for a trend.

Fibonacci retracement levels on the daily and 15-minute charts suggest that 1.0001 and 1.0003 are key psychological levels for the market. The price action on October 31 appears to be forming a horizontal consolidation pattern, and no clear retracements above or below these levels have occurred. Given the low volatility and limited volume, any breakouts from this range would need to be confirmed by higher volume and follow-through price action to be considered significant.

Backtest Hypothesis

The provided backtesting strategy aims to identify Doji-Star candlestick patterns as potential reversal signals. However, in the case of USDTDAI, no clear Doji-Star formations emerged during the 24-hour period due to the highly compressed and indecisive nature of the price action. This aligns with the broader observation of low volatility and flat price movement.

For future analysis, a refined backtest could focus on identifying clusters of small-bodied candles or patterns such as Inside Bars or Neutral Doji within this range. A hypothetical strategy might involve entering a long position when the price breaks above 1.0004 with increased volume and exits on the next candle’s close. Conversely, a short trade could be triggered on a break below 1.0001. Given the high stability of stablecoins like USDTDAI, such a strategy would need to be coupled with broader macroeconomic or market-wide catalysts to generate meaningful returns.
