Tether/Mexican Peso (USDTMXN) traded in a narrow range during the 24-hour period, with price opening at 18.6, peaking at 18.62, and bottoming at 18.57 before closing at 18.59. Total volume reached 443,447.0 units, with notional turnover estimated at MXN 8,249,910.0. The price remains in a consolidation phase, with no clear breakout direction.
The key support zone appears to be 18.57–18.58, which has held on multiple occasions during price dips. Resistance is forming at 18.60–18.61, where price encountered recurring rejections. A bearish engulfing pattern briefly appeared around 09:00–10:00 ET, but the price bounced back. No strong reversal candlestick patterns emerged, suggesting a continuation of the sideways range for the near term.
Moving averages on the 15-minute chart (20/50) remained in close proximity, indicating low directional momentum. Daily moving averages (50/100/200) were not significantly displaced, showing no major trend development. MACD remained in neutral territory, with a very small histogram. RSI hovered around the mid-range, with no signs of overbought or oversold conditions. Bollinger Bands showed mild contraction during the overnight ET period, suggesting low volatility.
Price action remained within the Bollinger Bands throughout the 24-hour window, with no significant deviations observed. A slight shift in volume was noted in the late ET session, particularly after 01:00 ET, when price rose toward 18.62 and volume ticked up. This could signal the beginning of a potential breakout attempt, though confirmation is still pending. Fibonacci retracement levels for recent 15-minute swings suggest key levels at 18.58 (38.2%), 18.60 (50%), and 18.61 (61.8%) which could be watched for directional clues.
Backtest Hypothesis
Given the current setup of USDTMXN, a backtest using a Bullish-Engulfing pattern could provide insight into potential trading opportunities. Assuming this strategy is adapted for the 15-minute chart and applied to similar stablecoin cross-pairs, a 5-day holding period could reveal performance metrics such as win rate, average gain/loss, and drawdowns. For instance, if we run this strategy on recognized tickers like XMR/USD or XTZ/USD (which support candlestick pattern detection), we could assess how often the pattern leads to a successful short-term trade. The results could help refine pattern-based entries in stablecoin pairs like USDTMXN.
