XRP/Tether (XRPUSDT) opened at $2.2385 at 12:00 ET−1 and closed at $2.264 at 12:00 ET, with a high of $2.3393 and a low of $2.2301 over the past 24 hours. Total volume reached 67,162,118.9, while turnover amounted to approximately $154.5 million (using average closing price of $2.31). Price action shows a clear upward thrust during the day, followed by consolidation and a pullback in the early hours of 12:00 ET.

Structure and Formations indicate a strong resistance forming around $2.34 and support near $2.28–$2.30. Notable patterns include a bullish engulfing candle in the early AM session and a bearish dark cloud cover near the close. A long lower shadow at 06:00 ET suggests a rejection of lower prices, while a doji at 01:15 ET signals indecision. These patterns may hint at a potential reversal from current levels.

Moving Averages on the 15-minute chart show the 20-period line (2.30) above the 50-period (2.28), suggesting short-term bullish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period (2.29) is slightly below the 100-period (2.30), indicating a neutral to slightly bearish bias for longer-term traders.

MACD and RSI confirm the recent volatility. RSI rose to overbought territory (72) at $2.33 and then fell sharply, hinting at potential exhaustion in the upward move. MACD remained positive during the bullish phase but has since crossed into negative territory, signaling a shift in momentum. This could imply that a correction is likely in the near term.

Bollinger Bands show a notable expansion during the bullish push from $2.25 to $2.34, with prices reaching the upper band at $2.34. As the bands began to contract after 04:00 ET, it suggests a period of consolidation. Prices have since settled between the middle band (~2.31) and the lower band (~2.29), suggesting a potential breakout or continuation pattern may be forming.

Volume and turnover were highly correlated during the bullish phase, with a surge in volume accompanying price highs. However, volume has significantly declined during the recent pullback, suggesting a lack of conviction in the bearish move. A divergence between price and volume could signal a possible reversal.

Fibonacci Retracements on the 15-minute chart show key levels at 38.2% (~2.30) and 61.8% (~2.27). Price appears to have found support at the 61.8% level during the late night pullback. On the daily chart, the 38.2% and 61.8% levels align with the support and resistance zones identified earlier, reinforcing the technical significance of these areas.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy hinges on identifying clear entry and exit signals based on the price structure and momentum. A potential setup could involve entering long near the 61.8% Fibonacci level (~2.27) with a stop below a recent low and a target near the 2.33 high. Alternatively, a short trade could be triggered as prices test the upper band of Bollinger Bands and RSI exceeds 70, with a stop above the 20-period moving average. This strategy aligns with the current technical indicators and may offer a balanced risk-reward profile for traders. To execute this strategy, the correct price symbol for XRP/USD should be used. Commonly accepted symbols include XRP-USD for Coinbase/Yahoo Finance or XRPUSDT for Binance. If you prefer a specific exchange format, I can adjust the ticker accordingly and rerun the backtest.
