Structure & Formations

Over the past 24 hours, key support levels were identified near 0.0795 and 0.0801, while resistance emerged around 0.0812, 0.0820, and 0.0827. Several notable candlestick patterns appeared, including a bullish engulfing pattern around 19:45–20:00 ET and a bearish harami near 09:45–10:00 ET. A doji at 02:00 ET indicated indecision before a sharp rally.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average (MA) crossed above the 50-period MA, forming a potential bullish crossover, which is often interpreted as a buy signal. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA is above the 100-period MA, and the 100-period MA is above the 200-period MA, indicating a trend of higher highs and a continuation of the bullish momentum. Price has remained above the 50-period MA, suggesting strong short-term momentum.

MACD & RSI

The MACD turned positive late in the 24-hour window, with the signal line crossing from below to above, indicating a potential momentum reversal toward a bullish trend. The RSI hit overbought territory around 09:00–10:00 ET, peaking near 70 and then pulling back slightly, suggesting that the move may have some potential for a retest of the 0.0810–0.0815 range before extending higher. Divergences were not observed, but the RSI remains within a constructive range for continued buying pressure.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed a contraction in the early morning hours before a sharp expansion following the breakout from the 0.0815 level. Price has remained in the upper half of the bands for the last 8 hours, indicating strong bullish momentum. The most recent expansion suggests heightened volatility and increased likelihood of a continuation in the current direction, at least in the short term.

Volume & Turnover

Volume saw a significant spike during the 14:00–17:00 ET timeframe, coinciding with a strong move from 0.0806 to 0.0836. The notional turnover increased by over 40% during this period, aligning with the price action and confirming the strength of the move. There were no notable divergences between volume and price during the key breakout phase, reinforcing the idea that the trend is supported by strong institutional and retail participation.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the most recent 15-minute swing, key levels at 38.2% (0.0810) and 61.8% (0.0820) were closely observed. The price held above the 61.8% level for most of the 24-hour period and is currently testing the extension level of 0.0827, suggesting a potential retest or consolidation before a further move higher.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtest strategy could involve a bullish breakout system based on the 15-minute 20/50 MA crossover and confirmation from the RSI crossing above 50. A long entry could be triggered when price closes above the 20-period MA and RSI is rising. A stop loss could be placed at the most recent swing low, while a take profit could be set at the 61.8% Fibonacci extension. Given the recent behavior of CATIUSDC, this strategy appears to align well with the observed price action and volume patterns.
