XRP/Mexican Peso (XRPMXN) opened at 43.911 on 2025-11-12 at 12:00 ET, hit a high of 46.0, a low of 42.346, and closed at 45.97 on 2025-11-13 at 12:00 ET. The 24-hour volume was 5,109.8 units, with a total notional turnover of approximately 229,883.92 MXN. The pair exhibited a pronounced upward trend late in the session, driven by a sharp move from 44.615 to 45.98 and then to 45.97 at the final close. This suggests growing bullish conviction but also points to potential exhaustion as the RSI hit overbought levels.
Structure & Formations
The 15-minute chart displayed a clear bearish engulfing pattern at 43.436, followed by a bullish reversal as the price broke above key resistance at 45.924 and pushed higher to close near session highs. This pattern suggests short-term indecision followed by a decisive bullish shift. Support levels formed around 43.436 and 42.835, while resistance clustered at 45.924 and 45.98. The late-session move from 45.924 to 45.98 appears to be a continuation of bullish momentum, though a reversal setup may be forming at the top.
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA was trending upward, crossing above the 50-period MA to signal bullish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA was above both the 100- and 200-period MAs, reinforcing the longer-term bullish bias. However, the closing price near a recent high may challenge the 20-day MA in the next session.
MACD & RSI
The MACD line crossed above the signal line around 22:30 ET, confirming a bullish turn. By the end of the session, the RSI reached overbought territory (above 70), signaling potential for a pullback or consolidation. This suggests traders should watch for a potential bearish divergence if the RSI fails to confirm higher closes.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility expanded significantly after 19:30 ET, with the bands widening and the price moving above the upper band. This is consistent with a strong breakout pattern. The current price is sitting near the upper Bollinger Band, suggesting elevated volatility and a possible correction or continuation, depending on order flow and volume.
Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked dramatically at 20:00 ET (2099.5 units) and again at 21:15 ET (604.9 units), coinciding with key price moves. Notional turnover followed a similar pattern, with a sharp increase as the price moved toward 45.98. The divergence between low volume at consolidation periods and high volume during breakouts confirms strong conviction behind recent moves.
Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci levels to the recent swing low at 42.346 and high at 46.0, the 61.8% retracement level is at 44.87, and the 38.2% is at 45.30. The price closed just above the 61.8% retracement level, indicating a strong bullish bias but raising the possibility of a pullback to the 38.2% level before resuming higher.
Looking ahead, the market may test the 45.98 level for a potential break above or consolidation near current levels. Traders should remain cautious of overbought RSI and divergences in volume, as these could trigger a short-term correction. The 45.924 level may serve as a key psychological threshold, and a close above it could extend the bullish trend. However, a rejection here may bring down momentum and trigger a retest of recent support.
Backtest Hypothesis
The described backtesting strategy utilizes the Bullish Engulfing pattern as a primary entry trigger, which was also observed in the current XRP/Mexican Peso chart near key reversal points. This pattern, when confirmed by rising volume and price action above the engulfing candle, could signal a potential continuation of the upward trend. Holding for three days with no stop-loss or take-profit levels mirrors the current setup seen in the 15-minute chart, where price moved decisively after the formation. If similar conditions persist, the strategy could offer insights into potential trade entries based on pattern confirmation and momentum signals observed in the RSI and MACD.
