Structure & Formations

The candlestick pattern over the 24-hour period showed a strong bullish breakout after a consolidation phase in the early hours. A key resistance level at 0.1800 was broken decisively in the morning, followed by a secondary test and a breakdown at 0.2210 in the late afternoon. A long upper shadow in the final candle suggests hesitation at the upper end of the range. Several bullish engulfing patterns and a morning star near 0.1623-0.1700 signaled the start of the bullish trend.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average crossed above the 50-period line in the early hours, confirming a short-term bullish bias. By the afternoon, the price moved well above both, indicating strong upward momentum. On the daily chart, while the 50- and 100-period lines were crossed, the 200-period line remains a key long-term resistance level. The price is currently above the 200-day MA, suggesting a bullish trend but with caution warranted around 0.2200-0.2230.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line moved into positive territory in the morning and showed a strong bullish crossover. However, the histogram began to flatten in the afternoon, hinting at potential exhaustion. The RSI reached overbought territory (above 70) during the afternoon rally, raising the likelihood of a pullback. Divergence between RSI and price near the 0.2366 high suggests a weakening of the rally, increasing the risk of a reversal.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly after the mid-day rally, with the Bollinger Bands widening. The price reached near the upper band during the afternoon high, indicating extended bullish pressure. However, this also raises the risk of a reversion to the mean. The narrow consolidation before 10:00 ET suggests a period of uncertainty, which was followed by a breakout and a strong move toward the upper band.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the mid-morning and afternoon rally, confirming the strength of the upward move. The largest volume spike occurred during the 07:30–07:45 ET candle, where the price surged from 0.1806 to 0.2035. Turnover also aligned with volume spikes, indicating strong conviction from buyers. However, a divergence occurred near the 0.2366 peak, where volume declined despite the price reaching a high, raising concerns about sustainability.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the 15-minute rally from 0.1636 to 0.2448 shows the 0.2307–0.2351 range aligns with the 61.8% and 78.6% levels. These levels were tested during the afternoon and evening, with a breakdown below 0.2307 signaling a shift in momentum. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement of the previous major bearish move is around 0.1830, which has already been broken, suggesting further upside potential.

Backtest Hypothesis

To proceed with backtesting, I recommend using the alternative symbol format “BINANCE:BATUSDT” to address the data discrepancy. This format is commonly expected by crypto data providers and may resolve the missing MACD series. Once the MACD golden-cross events are retrieved using this symbol, we can apply the backtest over the recent 30-day window and compare performance. I will proceed with this format if no further instruction is given.
