Turtle/USDC (TURTLEUSDC) opened at 0.1169 on 2025-11-12 at 12:00 ET, peaked at 0.1361, and closed at 0.1279 as of 12:00 ET on 2025-11-13. The pair traded between 0.1156 and 0.1361 over the 24-hour period. Total trading volume was 33.7 million, while notional turnover reached approximately $4.38 million, reflecting heightened activity during key price swings.

The 24-hour chart exhibits a distinct bullish breakout attempt to 0.1361, followed by a sharp correction to 0.1279. A large bearish candle closed at the lower end of the session, suggesting uncertainty among traders post-breakout. The price appears to be consolidating near the 0.128–0.130 range, a key support area that may hold if buyers re-enter.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart crossed during the early rally, confirming initial bullish momentum. However, the 50-period line is now above the 20-period, signaling a potential shift in trend. On the daily chart, the price remains above both the 50 and 200-day moving averages, indicating a longer-term bullish bias, although short-term divergence is evident.

MACD crossed into positive territory mid-session but has since diverged from price, with the histogram declining as the price retreats. RSI climbed above 70 during the high of the session, pointing to overbought conditions and a possible near-term correction. Bollinger Bands show an expansion in volatility during the breakout, with the price currently sitting just above the middle band. This suggests that volatility may continue to normalize over the next 24 hours.

Fibonacci retracements drawn from the 0.1156 low to the 0.1361 high indicate key levels at 0.1296 (61.8%) and 0.1333 (38.2%), both of which have been tested in the past 24 hours. A retest of 0.1296 could be pivotal for near-term direction. On the 15-minute chart, the 0.126–0.128 zone appears to be a critical pivot area, with 0.123 acting as a short-term floor if the correction accelerates.

Backtest Hypothesis
To evaluate the Turtle/USDC (TURTLEUSDC) pair for a MACD Golden-Cross strategy, we must first confirm the correct ticker symbol, as the provided data uses "TURTLEUSDC," which appears to be the correct format. For simplicity, we propose using the 15-minute close prices for the MACD calculation, with no stop-loss or take-profit rules—positions will be held strictly for 10 trading days after a Golden-Cross signal is confirmed. This approach isolates the strategy's performance from external risk controls and allows for a clearer assessment of the signal's effectiveness over the 2022–2025 timeframe. A full backtest using daily or 15-minute intervals can then be conducted once all parameters are aligned.
