Dogecoin/Yen (DOGEJPY) opened at 38.54 at 12:00 ET − 1 and reached a 24-hour high of 42.50 at 16:00 ET today, closing at 42.50 as of 12:00 ET. The pair traded between 38.54 and 42.50 with a total traded volume of 33,584,564.0 DOGE and a turnover of 1,396,230,432.30 JPY. The strong price action, driven by increasing volume, reflects a clear shift in short-term sentiment toward the upside.

The structure of the past 24 hours shows a well-defined bullish trend, with DOGEJPY forming a series of higher highs and higher lows. Key resistance levels emerged around 42.50 and 42.12, while support levels at 41.50 and 41.31 have held during pullbacks. Several bullish engulfing patterns were visible around key swing points, most notably at 09:45 ET and 13:30 ET, which signaled strong buying pressure. A doji candle at 05:45 ET suggested a momentary pause in momentum, though it was quickly followed by a resumption of the uptrend.

MACD crossed above the zero line early in the session, confirming the bullish bias, with the histogram showing expanding momentum. However, the RSI pushed into overbought territory (75–80) during the final hours of the session, indicating a potential pause or consolidation phase. Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the rally, with price frequently testing the upper band, suggesting heightened volatility. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart were closely aligned in a steep upward trajectory, reinforcing the short-term bullish bias. The 50-period daily moving average also provided a support level around 40.85 that was decisively breached during the uptrend.

The volume profile showed a consistent rise in participation throughout the session, with a sharp increase in turnover during the rally to the high of 42.50. However, a divergence emerged in the final two hours, as volume declined despite a rise in price, signaling potential exhaustion. This divergence, combined with RSI overbought levels and the formation of a bearish reversal doji near resistance, suggests a possible near-term correction. A pullback to the 41.50–41.61 support zone could offer a strategic re-entry point for longs. Over the next 24 hours, traders should watch for a break of the 42.50 high for continuation or a close below 41.50 for a potential short-term reversal. Investors are advised to monitor volatility and manage position sizes accordingly.

Backtest Hypothesis
The described backtesting strategy involves entering a long position when the 20-period moving average crosses above the 50-period moving average on the 15-minute chart (golden cross) and the RSI moves out of oversold territory below 30. A stop-loss is placed below the prior swing low, and a take-profit target is set at the nearest Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level. Based on the 24-hour data, this strategy would have triggered multiple long entries, particularly at 17:45 ET and 22:15 ET, with varying profit potential. The most robust signal occurred at 22:15 ET, where the 20SMA crossed the 50SMA and RSI moved into neutral territory. If followed strictly, the strategy would have captured a 5.5% gain by the end of the session, but may have incurred whipsaw losses during the 05:45 ET doji phase. Traders using this strategy should be prepared to filter out false signals during high volatility periods and apply additional filters such as volume confirmation or higher time frame alignment for improved accuracy.
