Structure & Formations

EPICUSDT established a key support at 1.700–1.705 and a resistance cluster at 1.750–1.760 during the session. A bullish engulfing pattern formed at 03:30–03:45 ET, confirming the reversal from a 24-hour low. A doji at 07:00 ET suggested indecision near the 1.697 level. The price later tested the 1.740–1.750 range multiple times, with the 1.753 high acting as a temporary resistance before a pullback.

Moving Averages

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-min chart indicated a bullish crossover in the early hours of October 1, 2025, at around 08:45 ET. This suggested short-term bullish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA sits at 1.735, with the 100-period at 1.730 and 200-period at 1.724, reinforcing a positive bias for the near term.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed above the signal line in the early hours, indicating bullish momentum, particularly after 08:45 ET. RSI reached overbought territory at 70+ during the 10:00–12:00 ET window but did not break 75. This suggests that while momentum was strong, it was not excessively overbought. A divergence between price and RSI in the morning (price rising while RSI flattened) hinted at a possible consolidation phase.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded as the Bollinger Band width increased after 06:00 ET, particularly during the 10–12 AM ET window. EPICUSDT traded near the upper band from 10:00 to 12:00 ET, indicating a potential overbought condition. This volatility expansion coincided with a sharp move from 1.701 to 1.767 over 6 hours, suggesting strong short-term demand.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked between 07:45–09:00 ET as the price broke above 1.740, with a peak at 1.767 during the 10:00–10:15 ET window. Notional turnover aligned with volume, indicating strong conviction in the upward move. Divergences were minimal, though a slight volume lag was seen in the final hour of the session, suggesting cautious sentiment ahead of the 24-hour close.

Fibonacci Retracements

Key Fibonacci levels based on the 1.683–1.767 swing included 1.730 (38.2%), 1.741 (50%), and 1.753 (61.8%). Price consolidated at 1.741–1.753 for much of the session, aligning with the 50–61.8% retracement levels. This consolidation may signal a potential retest of the 1.700–1.705 support before further upside or a pullback.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy involves entering a long position when the 20-period MA crosses above the 50-period MA on the 15-min chart and exiting when RSI reaches overbought territory (RSI ≥ 70) or when price breaks below the 50-period MA. During the 24-hour period, this condition was met at 08:45 ET, and the trade would have held until RSI neared 70 at 11:45 ET. The strategy appears to align well with the observed price action, particularly the bullish crossover and subsequent consolidation. This approach could be tested over multiple cycles to assess its consistency and profitability in volatile crypto conditions.
