The Tether/Zloty (USDTPLN) pair opened at 3.671 on 2025-11-08 at 12:00 ET, reached a high of 3.675, and a low of 3.663 during the 24-hour period. It closed at 3.670 at 12:00 ET on 2025-11-09. Total trading volume across the 15-minute candlesticks was 74,454.0 Zloty, with an estimated total turnover of 271,430.3 PLN.

Structure and formations suggest a narrow consolidation phase, with key support observed at 3.665–3.668 and resistance at 3.671–3.675. A series of small-bodied candles with indifferently placed wicks indicate indecision among market participants. While no classic candlestick reversal patterns (e.g., engulfing, doji) were identified, the repeated testing of the 3.668 level suggests a potential pivot point. Price may continue to range-bound for the next 24 hours, with a cautious bearish tilt if the 3.665 support level is tested.

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages closely align near 3.669–3.671, reinforcing the sideways bias. The daily chart (synthesized from hourly data) would show the 50/100/200-day MA lines overlapping near the same level, further signaling a lack of directional momentum. MACD lines appear flat, with the histogram showing no clear divergence, while the RSI remains in mid-range (50–55), consistent with consolidation. A move above 3.675 could trigger a short overbought signal, whereas a break below 3.665 might push the RSI into oversold territory.

Bollinger Bands have contracted in the final hours of the report, signaling reduced volatility. Price action remained within the bands with no significant deviations, which could precede a breakout or a continuation of consolidation. Fibonacci retracement levels for the most recent 15-minute swing (3.663 to 3.675) suggest key levels at 3.668 (61.8%) and 3.667 (38.2%), both of which were tested. These levels may continue to influence near-term trading dynamics.

Volume distribution was uneven, with the highest volume observed between 00:00 and 02:00 ET on 2025-11-09, where the price settled near the 3.665–3.666 range. Turnover also increased in this period, reinforcing the bearish consolidation. Divergences between price and volume were not evident, suggesting consistent conviction in the bearish tone. However, a sharp increase in volume without a corresponding price move may signal a potential reversal.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy aims to identify bullish-engulfing candlestick patterns as potential buy signals, with a 5-day holding period. These patterns typically occur when a bearish candle is followed by a larger bullish candle that completely engulfs the prior candle’s body, signaling a potential trend reversal. The current technical indicators—MACD, RSI, and Bollinger Bands—can be used to validate the likelihood of such patterns occurring in real-time. If applied to historical USDTPLN data, the strategy would flag the engulfing pattern, enter a long position, and monitor the outcome over a 5-day horizon.
