Structure & Formations

The 15-minute candlestick data showed a series of tightly clustered candles with minimal price variation, forming a consolidation pattern. A potential support level emerged near 0.9960–0.9961, where price tested multiple times. On the higher end, 0.9963–0.9965 acted as a soft resistance. Doji-like patterns were observed between 06:00 and 08:00 ET, suggesting indecision. A larger bullish engulfing candle at 01:45 ET briefly lifted prices above 0.9963 before consolidating.

Moving Averages

Short-term 20-period and 50-period moving averages were closely aligned near 0.9962, suggesting no strong trend. On a daily chart, the 50- and 200-day moving averages are also close, indicating a sideways or range-bound market. Price has remained between these averages, with no clear breakouts observed.

MACD & RSI

The MACD oscillator remained near zero, with no clear divergence from price action. RSI values hovered in the neutral zone around 50, indicating a lack of overbought or oversold conditions. This neutrality reinforces the idea of a balanced market with no immediate momentum bias.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed a narrow contraction during the initial phase of the 24-hour period, followed by a slight expansion as volume increased in the early hours of 11/08. Price remained within the bands for most of the session, occasionally touching the upper and lower bounds but not breaching them.

Volume & Turnover

Volume showed a noticeable increase between 06:00 and 08:00 ET, with a large candle at 07:30 ET indicating heightened activity. Notional turnover increased alongside this, though price remained stable, suggesting more accumulation or passive trading activity. No divergence was observed between price and volume, indicating that increased volume was in line with price behavior.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the most recent 15-minute swing from 0.9960 to 0.9990, the 61.8% level is located at 0.9978 and the 38.2% level at 0.9971. These levels have not yet been tested but may act as resistance in the near term. Daily Fibonacci levels remain far from current price levels due to the narrow range.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy under consideration involves identifying Doji Star candlestick patterns—specifically, those indicating indecision or potential trend exhaustion. While pre-calculated Doji Star indicators were not available for TUSDUSDT, the raw OHLCV data suggests several such patterns between 06:00 and 08:00 ET. A manual detection and event back-test could validate whether these patterns lead to price reversals or consolidations in the following candles. This could inform a low-risk trading strategy based on mean reversion in stablecoin pairs.
