Stacks/Tether (STXUSDT) opened at $0.3954 on 2025-11-08 and closed at $0.4119 by 12:00 ET. The 24-hour session saw a high of $0.4400 and a low of $0.3946, with a total traded volume of approximately 14.3 million STX and a notional turnover of around $5.6 million. The price action reflected a sharp recovery from an intraday low of $0.3946, followed by a consolidation phase toward the 0.4150–0.4180 cluster.

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages crossed above the price in the final hours of the session, suggesting potential bullish momentum. The 50-period line acted as a key support level during the early recovery, while the 20-period MA accelerated higher after 00:45 ET. For daily charts, the 50- and 100-period moving averages remain below price action, signaling a possible continuation of the short-term bullish trend. The 200-period MA continues to act as a dynamic resistance level above $0.43.

MACD showed a bullish crossover in the early morning hours, with the histogram expanding on the upside after a 20-minute consolidation phase. RSI reached overbought levels above 70 at $0.44, then retreated to a neutral zone in the morning. This suggests a potential exhaustion of short-term buyers. On the Bollinger Bands chart, price touched the upper band during the peak at $0.4400 and retracted into the mid-bands by the close, indicating a temporary release of volatility. The contraction in band width around 04:00 ET suggested a period of low volatility, which preceded the next move higher.

Fibonacci retracements applied to the intraday low of $0.3946 and the high of $0.4400 showed that the price retested the 61.8% retracement level at $0.4190 before consolidating. This suggests that the 61.8% level may act as a key support or resistance in the near term. A break above $0.4190 could target the 78.6% retracement at $0.4300, while a drop below $0.4135 could signal a return to testing the 50% level at $0.4173.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy described relies on RSI(14) as a key momentum oscillator. Using the standard 30/70 thresholds, an entry signal is generated when RSI crosses below 30 and a close is triggered when it crosses above 70. Given the recent intraday RSI swings, this method could have captured the early morning bullish momentum but may have exited early during the consolidation phase. The strategy lacks stop-loss or take-profit rules, which may increase exposure to volatility. If applied to the 15-minute OHLCV data provided, the RSI(14) would have signaled a potential entry around 02:15 ET and an exit around 00:45 ET—highlighting the importance of aligning the strategy with the trader’s time horizon and risk profile.
