Price action showed a strong recovery from an early sell-off, with key support at 0.329 and resistance at 0.334–0.336.

Structure & Formations

The candlestick pattern suggests a potential bullish reversal near 0.3301–0.3321, with a series of small bullish bodies and a key 15-minute bullish engulfing pattern forming after the 20:30 ET dip. Price tested support at 0.3313–0.3315 twice and rebounded strongly. A doji formed around 00:00 ET, indicating indecision, but the price continued higher. The intraday swing low at 0.3255 appears to have acted as a short-term floor, with the market showing reluctance to break below that level.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period SMAs both trended upward during the final 8–10 hours of the session, providing further bullish confirmation. On the daily timeframe, the 50-period SMA crossed above the 100-period SMA, while the 200-period SMA remained below, suggesting a potential continuation of the bullish momentum, albeit with a medium-term sideways bias likely if the 0.334–0.336 range is rejected.

MACD & RSI

MACD showed a bullish crossover at 19:00 ET, followed by a strong positive divergence as price consolidated. The RSI peaked above 65 during the final hours of the session, suggesting overbought conditions and a possible pullback. However, the RSI’s strength during the final 6 hours indicates sustained buying pressure, which may continue unless bearish divergence emerges.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed a moderate expansion, with price hovering near the upper band for much of the session. The midband remained in a steady upward drift, supporting the bullish bias. Price traded within a healthy range of the bands, with the lower band acting as a dynamic support near 0.330–0.332 and the upper band offering resistance above 0.335.

Volume & Turnover

Trading volume surged after 20:00 ET, peaking at 150,710.76 at 08:30 ET, with high turnover confirming the price action. Notional turnover also increased sharply during this period, suggesting strong institutional or large-cap participation. However, a divergence appeared in the last two hours, with volume decreasing while price continued to climb—this could signal a potential near-term top if not followed by further volume confirmation.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the recent intraday swing low (0.3255) and high (0.3364), key levels at 0.3321 (38.2%), 0.3343 (50%), and 0.3358 (61.8%) were either tested or held. The price found support at 0.3321 before bouncing, suggesting that buyers are active in this zone. The 0.3343 and 0.3358 levels may now act as dynamic resistance in the near term.

Backtest Hypothesis

The provided backtest strategy hinges on RSI data—specifically, a signal to enter long positions when RSI exceeds 70, with a one-day holding period. While this approach seeks to exploit overbought conditions, the current RSI behavior of DYDXUSDT shows mixed signals. During the 24-hour period, RSI moved above 65 twice but lacked confirmation via volume spikes or price continuation. A backtest using the RSI > 70 trigger may result in frequent false positives for DYDXUSDT due to the asset’s high volatility and short-term overbought readings. For a more effective strategy, one could consider combining RSI with volume confirmation or a price-based breakout filter. If applied with caution and filtering, the strategy may yield reasonable results, but it would require additional refinement to account for the asset’s fast-moving nature.
