Structure and Key Levels

The 0.870–0.880 range has emerged as a critical horizontal zone, with resistance forming around 0.883 and support at 0.870. A notable bearish engulfing pattern occurred at 0.860, suggesting short-term bearish bias before a bullish reversal at 0.870. No strong doji or reversal patterns were observed, though price has failed to close above 0.8864 multiple times, indicating possible overhead pressure.

Moving Averages and Momentum

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA remains above the 50-period MA, suggesting short-term bearish momentum. For the daily chart, the 50-period MA appears to be flattening just above the 0.860 level, while the 200-period MA provides long-term support. RSI oscillates between 45 and 55, showing no overbought or oversold signals, and MACD lines appear to be flattening, suggesting waning momentum.

Volatility and Fibonacci Zones

Bollinger Bands expanded during the late-night rebound, indicating increased volatility as price approached the upper band. Fibonacci retracement levels drawn from the swing low at 0.8454 to the high at 0.8864 show key levels at 0.865 (38.2%), 0.873 (50%), and 0.881 (61.8%). Price has stalled near the 61.8% level multiple times, suggesting potential consolidation ahead.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy relies on MACD crossovers for LDOUSDT, with Golden Cross (bullish) and Death Cross (bearish) signals triggering entries and exits. However, due to a server-side issue with the MACD data endpoint, we are unable to validate recent crossover events. If we assume a Golden Cross occurred near the 0.870 level and a prior Death Cross at 0.860, the strategy may have captured a short-term bounce. The next test for this approach would be whether LDOUSDT breaks above 0.8864 or collapses below 0.870, confirming the trend’s direction.

Short-Term Outlook

LDOUSDT appears poised for a test of the 0.8864 resistance level, with the 0.870 support acting as a critical floor. If volume remains strong above 100k per 15 minutes and price stays above 0.870, the bullish bias could continue. However, traders should remain cautious of a potential pullback if RSI fails to cross 60 or if volume wanes despite price advances.
