Opening Snapshot and Market Context

BNB/Yen (BNBJPY) opened at 145,164 at 12:00 ET - 1 and traded as high as 150,499 before closing at 151,425 at 12:00 ET. The 24-hour volume reached 460.484 units with a turnover of approximately ¥68,522,525. The pair has shown strong directional bias in a tight time frame, suggesting a consolidation phase could follow this aggressive move.

Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart showed a key support at 145,000, which held through multiple tests, and a strong resistance breakout around 147,000. A bullish engulfing pattern emerged at 147,000, followed by a continuation above 150,000. A bearish doji appeared around 150,499, hinting at possible exhaustion. The price has now settled above the previous consolidation range, indicating a potential shift in sentiment.

Moving Averages

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart aligned with the bullish trend, with the 50-period line crossing above the 20-period (golden cross). On a daily basis, the 50-period SMA is above the 100 and 200-period lines, reinforcing the bullish setup. Price is currently well above all three, indicating a strong uptrend.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram expanded positively throughout the session, with both lines crossing above the zero line and trending upward, confirming the bullish momentum. RSI reached overbought territory (70+) near the close, which may indicate a short-term pullback or consolidation. However, without a strong reversal pattern on the RSI, the bullish tone remains intact.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility was relatively compressed earlier in the session before a breakout at 147,000. The price then moved sharply outside the upper band, showing a breakout with conviction. The recent move above the Bollinger Bands indicates strong bullish pressure, but a period of consolidation or a pullback may follow if buyers step back.

Volume & Turnover

Volume increased significantly during the 15:00–16:00 ET window, confirming the breakout above key resistance. Turnover also spiked in line with the volume, suggesting strong buyer participation. There were no significant divergences between volume and price action, indicating solid momentum behind the move.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, the 38.2% retracement level at 147,000 provided strong support before the breakout, while the 61.8% level at 149,000 was quickly breached. The 23.6% level at 148,000 is now a key area to watch for potential pullbacks. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement from the previous bearish swing is at 152,000 and could offer resistance in the near term.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy described aims to identify overbought conditions via RSI and divergences in volume and price action to signal potential corrections or reversals. This aligns with the current chart setup, where RSI entered overbought territory and a bearish doji formed at the session high. A valid signal would require confirmation with a closing candle below key support at 147,000. If the strategy’s rules are followed, a short entry with a stop above the doji high and a target at the 38.2% Fibonacci level could offer a favorable risk-reward.
