YieldBasis/USDC (YBUSDC) opened at 0.4867 on 2025-11-10 at 12:00 ET and reached an intraday high of 0.4994 before closing at 0.469 on 2025-11-11 at 12:00 ET. The pair fell to a 24-hour low of 0.4664 amid bearish momentum. Total trading volume amounted to 452,299.0 units with a notional turnover of USD 209,516.5 (calculated as volume × average price).

The price action over the past 24 hours shows a distinct bearish trend, with YBUSDC falling below key moving averages and forming bearish engulfing and inside bar patterns. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart are both bearish, with the 50-period line acting as a strong resistance. On the daily chart, the 50, 100, and 200-period moving averages also trend downward, reinforcing the bearish bias.

Momentum and Overbought/Oversold Conditions

Relative Strength Index (RSI) has moved into oversold territory near 30, suggesting potential for a short-term bounce. However, the MACD remains bearish with the line below the signal line and both trending lower, indicating sustained bearish momentum. A negative divergence in RSI could signal an oversold rebound but may lack follow-through if the 0.4664 level breaks further.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands show recent volatility contraction, particularly in the latter half of the 24-hour period, suggesting a potential breakout is imminent. Price has been trading near the lower band for much of the session, consistent with a bearish trend. A break below the lower band could trigger a new wave of selling pressure.

Volume and Turnover Divergences

Despite the bearish price trend, volume has been uneven. The largest 15-minute volume spike occurred around 0.4794 (0.47–0.48 range), where turnover was concentrated. However, price failed to hold above 0.4794, suggesting bearish divergence between price and volume. Further volume surges at key support levels may indicate either strong support or capitulation.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the recent 15-minute swing from 0.4994 to 0.4664, the 61.8% level sits at 0.4755, which appears to have been tested but rejected multiple times. The 38.2% level at 0.4837 is now acting as a potential resistance on any bounce. On the daily chart, the 200-period MA aligns with the 0.4674 level, a critical short-term support.

Backtest Hypothesis

An attempted backtest to analyze MACD death cross events for YBUSDC encountered data constraints, as the technical indicator service failed to recognize the ticker. This is common for less widely listed pairs. To proceed, verifying the correct ticker symbol (e.g., alternative stablecoins like USDT) or providing a list of known MACD death-cross dates would allow for a meaningful event-based backtest. Alternatively, testing a more liquid pair such as BTC/USDT could demonstrate the methodology effectively.
