Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart displayed a key resistance zone at $0.01466–0.01470, where price repeatedly found rejection before pushing through. A bullish engulfing pattern formed around 18:15–18:30 ET at $0.01472–0.01473, signaling potential short-term continuation. The price also formed a bullish flag pattern during consolidation between 19:30–20:30 ET at $0.01464–0.01469. Key support was identified at $0.01458 and $0.01452, with price bouncing off these levels twice within the last 6 hours.

Moving Averages

A 20-period and 50-period moving average on the 15-minute chart showed price above both lines since the early evening, indicating a moderate uptrend. Daily 50, 100, and 200-period MA lines also showed price above the 50 and 100 lines, with a slight bearish slope on the 200 MA suggesting potential long-term consolidation. This suggests that while the short-term trend is bullish, caution is warranted on longer-term positioning.

MACD & RSI

MACD crossed above the signal line around 17:30–18:00 ET, confirming a bullish crossover with expanding histogram bars. RSI remained in the 50–60 range for much of the session, indicating strong but not overbought momentum. A minor divergence between RSI and price appeared at 22:00–22:30 ET, where price continued higher while RSI flattened, hinting at a possible near-term pause.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded during the 17:00–19:00 ET session, pushing price to the upper Bollinger Band. This expansion was confirmed by a 40% increase in volume during the same period. Price has since consolidated near the mid-Bollinger Band, suggesting a potential mean reversion scenario. A contraction in volatility is observed between 22:00–00:00 ET, possibly indicating a period of consolidation ahead.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked above average levels between 17:30–19:00 ET, peaking at over 11.7 million units. This increase was matched by a rise in notional turnover, confirming the strength of the move. Between 21:30–23:45 ET, volume dipped below average while price continued to rise, indicating potential divergence and a risk of a pullback. The final hour saw a reacceleration in volume and price, confirming the closing push above $0.01466.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the key swing from $0.01434 (2025-09-26 16:00) to $0.01484 (2025-09-26 18:30), the 38.2% retrace level at $0.01461 and 61.8% at $0.01446 were both tested. Price found support at 38.2% and pushed higher, suggesting that the move above $0.01466 could hold. On a daily chart, retracement levels from a key bearish swing (not in this data set) may provide additional context for potential reversals.

Backtest Hypothesis

Based on the observed patterns and indicators, a potential backtesting strategy could involve entering long positions on a bullish engulfing pattern or a break above the 20-period moving average, confirmed by a MACD crossover and rising volume. A stop loss could be placed just below the most recent support at $0.01458, with a take profit targeting the next resistance level at $0.01470. This setup would allow for a favorable risk-reward ratio in a market showing moderate bullish momentum and strong volume confirmation.
