GMT/Tether (GMTUSDT) opened at $0.02465 at 12:00 ET-1 and closed at $0.02542 at 12:00 ET, trading between $0.02411 and $0.02568. The pair recorded a total volume of ~48.15 million units and a turnover of $12.33 million over the 24-hour period. Price action featured a sharp upward move after 09:00 ET, breaking above prior resistance levels.

On the 15-minute chart, a bullish breakout was confirmed as price closed above the 30-day resistance high near $0.0248, supported by strong volume during the final hours. A Bullish Engulfing pattern formed near $0.0248, aligning with a breakout signal. While the 20- and 50-period moving averages are trending upward, the 200-period MA is still bearish, suggesting a potential tug of war between short- and long-term sentiment. MACD remains in positive territory, reinforcing the momentum behind the breakout.

Bollinger Bands are widening, reflecting heightened volatility, with price closing near the upper band, a sign of strong bullish conviction. RSI is at ~58, indicating moderate momentum but not overbought conditions. Fibonacci retracements show that the price has now surpassed the 61.8% level of the recent downward swing, suggesting the breakout is gaining structural significance.

A key support level lies at $0.02434, the 20-period MA, which must hold to confirm the bullish breakout. A break below this level could invalidate the near-term trend. On the upside, $0.02551 represents the next major resistance from Bollinger Bands, followed by $0.02568, the high of the breakout session. Given the current structure and momentum, GMTUSDT may test this upper range in the next 24 hours, but traders should remain cautious of a short-term pullback if volume declines and RSI moves toward overbought territory.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting framework uses a dual confirmation system, combining a Bullish Engulfing candlestick pattern with a confirmed breakout above the 30-day high to signal a long entry. This strategy is designed to capture high-probability breakout setups while incorporating a balanced risk-reward profile (10% stop-loss and 20% take-profit). The logic assumes that a Bullish Engulfing pattern provides a short-term reversal signal, while the breakout confirms broader trend support. In this 24-hour window, both conditions nearly aligned near $0.0248, but the pattern only formed after the breakout had already begun, preventing a confirmed buy. Traders may want to use this as a template for future entries if the pattern occurs ahead of a confirmed breakout.
