The 15-minute chart reveals a series of key support and resistance levels forming over the last 24 hours. A critical support zone was identified between 0.0205–0.0206, where price found repeated bids after midday corrections. Resistance levels appeared to congregate near 0.0210 and 0.0212, particularly during the midday and early evening window. A bullish engulfing pattern formed at 10:45 AM ET, as price closed above the prior candle’s high and opened below its low, signaling strong buyer control. A doji at 4:45 AM ET reflected indecision during the early morning consolidation phase.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart crossed during the midday rally, with the shorter-term MA moving above the longer-term MA, indicating a potential trend reversal to the upside. The 50-period MA (0.02084) and 100-period MA (0.02082) were closely aligned, suggesting a period of consolidation was likely nearing its end. The 200-period MA remained below the current price, indicating a longer-term bullish bias.

MACD (12, 26, 9) for the 15-minute chart showed a bullish crossover during the midday rally, with the MACD line (0.00002) crossing above the signal line (0.00001). RSI rose to 68, approaching overbought levels and suggesting the pair may be due for a pullback. Bollinger Bands expanded significantly overnight, particularly between 3:00–6:00 AM ET, with price fluctuating near the lower band. This contraction and expansion pattern often precedes a breakout or reversal.

Volume and turnover spiked at 10:45 AM ET and again at 10:30 PM ET, coinciding with major price swings. Notional turnover reached a 24-hour high of $6,686.26 at 10:45 AM ET, as price surged past 0.0210. The volume–price divergence was minimal, with price and turnover generally aligning during key swings. However, a moderate divergence appeared at 3:15 AM ET, where price fell but volume remained high, hinting at increasing bearish pressure.

Fibonacci retracement levels for the major 15-minute swing (0.01972–0.02133) identified 61.8% retracement at 0.02056 and 38.2% at 0.02096. Price held above the 61.8% level during the overnight correction and bounced off it in the early morning. The daily chart showed a 61.8% retracement at 0.02090 and a 38.2% at 0.02138, which will likely be key watchpoints for the next 24 hours.

Looking ahead, the next 24 hours may see a test of the 0.0212 resistance level, with a potential pullback to the 0.0208–0.0210 consolidation range if the overbought RSI level triggers a profit-taking sell-off. Traders should monitor volume divergence and key Fibonacci levels for early signs of reversal. A break below 0.0205 could reignite bearish momentum, particularly in the absence of strong volume confirmation.

Backtest Hypothesis
The MACD crossover strategy outlined in the provided text relies on identifying golden-cross events in the MACD series to generate buy signals, followed by a 7-day hold. While we were unable to fetch the MACD data for IDEX/USDT in real time, the current 15-minute chart shows a recent MACD crossover at 10:45 AM ET. If this were part of a backtest, it could have been used as a potential long entry point. Given the current alignment of MACD, RSI, and volume, a similar golden-cross event might present a compelling signal for future entries—provided it aligns with broader trend and Fibonacci levels.
