USDC/Romanian Leu (USDCRON) opened at 4.382 on 2025-11-10 at 12:00 ET and closed at 4.387 on 2025-11-11 at 12:00 ET, hitting a high of 4.39 and a low of 4.376 during the 24-hour window. Total volume for the period was 58,833.0 units, with notional turnover reaching 249,204.60 RON. Price action reveals a relatively stable market but with intermittent volatility.

The 15-minute chart shows a series of small-range candles, with a key support level forming around 4.378 and a resistance cluster emerging near 4.387. A small bearish engulfing pattern appeared briefly during the early session at 18:00–18:15 ET, but the price rebounded. A doji at 23:30–23:45 ET suggests indecision, while a bullish harami at 00:00–00:15 ET on 2025-11-11 reflects a potential short-term reversal.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart intersected multiple times, indicating a churning market with no clear trend. The 50-period moving average held above 4.381, suggesting slight bullish bias in the short term. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA is below the 100- and 200-period MAs, which is bearish for longer-term traders.

MACD on the 15-minute chart showed a narrow histogram with no clear divergence, but the line crossed into the signal line twice, suggesting possible momentum shifts. The RSI remained within 30–70 most of the time, with a brief overbought spike near 75 during the 00:45–01:00 ET window on 2025-11-11, indicating temporary strength.

Bollinger Bands showed mild expansion as prices approached the upper and lower bands during the late hours of 2025-11-10 and early hours of 2025-11-11. This suggests heightened volatility in the short term, with the price trading between 4.378 and 4.390 within the bands.

Total volume and notional turnover were consistent throughout the day with no sharp spikes or divergences. Price and turnover moved in tandem during most of the session, suggesting aligned buyer and seller behavior. The largest single-candle volume spike occurred at 21:45–22:00 ET, with 3803.0 units traded and a price rebound from 4.38 to 4.382.

Fibonacci retracements drawn from the 4.39 high to the 4.376 low show key levels at 4.383 (38.2%) and 4.379 (61.8%). The current close of 4.387 is near the 38.2% level, which appears to act as a minor resistance zone. A break above 4.387 could target the 4.390 level, while a drop below 4.379 would likely test 4.376.

Backtest Hypothesis
The data shows that a potential RSI-based strategy could be explored for USDC/Romanian Leu. Given the recent fluctuations within the RSI 30–70 range, a backtest using a standard 14-period RSI with overbought (70) and oversold (30) thresholds could provide insight into the effectiveness of counter-trend trading in this low-volatility environment. A strategy that buys when RSI dips below 30 and sells when it rises above 70 could help quantify the asset’s responsiveness to mean reversion. Incorporating stop-loss and take-profit levels would add a risk management framework to test real-world viability. This approach could be applied to the 15-minute data from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-11 to evaluate historical performance.
