Structure & Formations

The BANDUSDT pair showed a multi-leg reversal off key support levels in the 0.475–0.481 area, with several bullish engulfing patterns confirming the bounce. A long-legged doji formed at 0.477 (October 30, 18:15 ET), signaling indecision before a strong reversal. The price action suggests that 0.485–0.489 is forming as a new support zone, with 0.475 acting as a critical floor.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average crossed above the 50-period line, confirming a short-term bullish bias. The 50-period line is now at 0.498, with the 100-period and 200-period lines lagging below at 0.489 and 0.485, respectively. This suggests the price is extending above intermediate-term averages, indicating strength in the current rally.

MACD & RSI

The MACD has moved into positive territory, forming a bullish crossover with the signal line near 0.0015. The histogram is expanding as momentum builds, suggesting buyers are in control. RSI climbed from the 45–50 range into the mid-50s and is currently at 53, indicating a moderate bullish bias. While not yet overbought, the RSI may test the 60-level in the next 24 hours if the current upward trend persists.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded through the afternoon and evening ET periods as BANDUSDT moved into the upper Bollinger Band, reaching 0.511. The 20-period band width is now at 0.037, up from a morning contraction at 0.022. Price has been testing the upper band since 04:15 ET, and a break above could trigger further expansion.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked significantly during the afternoon ET rebound, particularly between 18:30 and 20:00 ET, when total volume exceeded 100,000. Turnover increased in line with price, confirming the move higher. However, divergence between price and volume has begun to appear in the last few 15-minute candles, which may signal a near-term pause or consolidation phase.

Fibonacci Retracements

The 0.472–0.511 swing (October 30, 19:15 ET to October 31, 15:15 ET) has seen price test the 38.2% retrace at 0.496 and the 61.8% retrace at 0.500. The current level of 0.506 aligns with the 61.8%–76.4% range, suggesting that the pair may face resistance at the 0.511 high or pull back toward 0.496–0.500 for consolidation.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the current setup, a potential backtesting strategy could involve using the MACD golden cross (where the MACD line crosses above the signal line) as a buy trigger, followed by a 5-day hold. This approach has been effective in previous cycles when BANDUSDT showed similar momentum builds. However, due to a temporary issue with the data interface, the MACD golden cross dates and values cannot be retrieved at this time. Options for resolution include:
1. Retrying the data retrieval in the near future.
2. Manually providing existing MACD golden cross dates for direct backtesting.
3. Fetching and processing historical price data locally to calculate the MACD and validate the strategy.
Until this data becomes available, the strategy remains theoretical, and its historical performance cannot be assessed.
