The Gnosis/Tether (GNOUSDT) pair opened at $127.73 on 2025-10-24 at 12:00 ET and closed at $130.09 on 2025-10-25 at 12:00 ET. The 24-hour session saw a high of $132.62 and a low of $126.15, with total volume of 1,030.42 and turnover of $134,171. The price exhibited a strong bullish bias, driven by a late-session push that pushed price beyond its 15-minute Bollinger Band upper boundary and into overbought RSI territory.

Structurally, the chart formed multiple small bullish engulfing patterns and an inside bar formation in the 15-minute timeframe. The most notable engulfing pattern appeared at 2025-10-25 13:30 ET, where a bullish engulfing pattern confirmed a breakout above the $130.74 resistance. A key support level appears to have emerged near the $129.1–129.3 range, which held multiple times during the session. The price could test this level again in the next 24 hours, especially if momentum indicators show signs of weakening.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart were both bullish, with the 20-period line crossing above the 50-period line earlier in the session. The MACD showed a narrowing histogram and positive crossover, suggesting the bullish momentum may still be intact. However, the RSI reached overbought levels near 75 in the final hours, indicating potential for a near-term consolidation phase.

Bollinger Bands expanded sharply during the last 4–5 hours of the session, with volatility increasing from an average range of $0.70 to $2.30 per candle. Price spent most of the final 3 hours above the upper band, suggesting aggressive buying pressure. A pullback into the middle band could be seen as a healthy consolidation before further upside. Fibonacci retracement levels from the $126.15 low to $132.62 high show 61.8% at $129.99 and 38.2% at $131.26, which may act as short-term resistance and support respectively.

The 50-period moving average on the daily chart is currently bullish, while the 200-period line has just been crossed, indicating a potential shift in long-term bias. If the 15-minute bullish momentum continues into the daily chart, the 200-period MA could act as a dynamic support. However, given the current overbought RSI reading and elevated volatility, a pullback into the 38.2% retracement level should not be ruled out.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the presence of a bullish engulfing pattern on 2025-10-25 at $130.74 and the strong volume confirmation during the breakout, a backtest using historical GNOUSDT 15-minute OHLC data could yield insights into the effectiveness of a buy signal based on this candlestick pattern. A simple strategy could be to enter a long position at the close of a bullish engulfing candle with stop-loss placed below the engulfed candle’s low and a take-profit at the 1:1 risk-reward level. To implement this strategy, we would need raw OHLC data for GNOUSDT and a custom-built Bullish Engulfing pattern detector. This approach, while requiring additional data preparation, would allow for an accurate assessment of the pattern’s profitability in this specific context.
