Price action remained largely within a tight trading range throughout the 24 hours, oscillating between 3.644 and 3.651, with most candles forming small-bodied patterns. A key support level appears at 3.644–3.646, which saw a test late morning and again late afternoon, with price bouncing off the level. A resistance level is forming near 3.650–3.651, where multiple candles closed or opened, suggesting a potential ceiling. A bearish engulfing pattern at the close could indicate a near-term reversal in the current consolidation phase.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart showed minimal divergence: the 20-period and 50-period EMA lines remained closely aligned, indicating a lack of strong directional bias. Daily MA indicators (50, 100, 200) were not clearly defined in the provided data, but the absence of a clear separation between short-term and long-term averages suggests continued indecision in the market. MACD lines hovered near the zero line, with no strong histogram divergence or trend formation visible. RSI remained in the 50–60 range for most of the period, suggesting moderate momentum with no immediate overbought or oversold conditions.

Bollinger Bands contracted mid-day before widening toward the end of the session, indicating a potential shift in volatility and possibly a breakout attempt. The price closed near the upper band in the final hours, which may suggest a test of resistance. Volume and turnover were consistent with the price movement, with no significant divergence. On Fibonacci retracements, the 61.8% level from the high (3.651) to the low (3.644) was at 3.646, a level that was tested and held twice during the session.

Looking ahead, the immediate focus should be on whether the 3.646 support level holds or if bearish momentum from the bearish engulfing pattern leads to a retest of the 3.644 level. A breakout above 3.651 could reignite bullish momentum, but given the current consolidation, investors should remain cautious and watch for a clear breakout or breakdown before taking long or short positions.

Backtest Hypothesis

To run an “RSI Overbought” event-backtest on USDC/Zloty, we need to clarify two key factors. First, the correct ticker symbol for USDC quoted in Polish Zloty is USDCPLN. Second, the standard RSI parameters—14-period RSI with an overbought threshold of >70—are widely used and would provide a solid starting point for the backtest. Given the recent RSI behavior in the 50–60 range, the market does not currently indicate overbought conditions, but historical data could reveal patterns where overbought RSI levels reliably preceded price corrections. Once confirmed, the backtest can analyze the effectiveness of exiting or shorting positions when RSI crosses above 70, using the 2022–2025 timeframe for evaluation.
