Further, the price extended upwards through 0.2742, 0.28, and 0.2863, with each step confirming bullish momentum. Support levels at 0.2567 and 0.272 appeared to hold during consolidation phases.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart show a sharp cross above the 50-period line, with the 20-period MA acting as a dynamic support. The daily chart confirms this with the price above the 50, 100, and 200-day MA, indicating a strong bullish trend in the medium to long term. MACD (12, 26, 9) has shown a positive divergence, with the histogram expanding after the breakout. RSI is currently at overbought levels (~80), indicating that a pullback may be near, but not yet signaling exhaustion.

Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the recent 15-minute swing (0.2567 to 0.2863) show key levels at 0.273 (38.2%) and 0.2804 (61.8%). Price action has confirmed the 61.8% level and now appears to be testing the upper boundary. The Bollinger Bands are widening, indicating an increase in volatility that often precedes a directional move. Volume has remained consistent with price, showing no divergence, which suggests the trend is likely to continue unless a bearish reversal pattern forms.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy involves entering long positions on LISTAUSDT when the price breaks above the 50-period moving average on the 15-minute chart, and exits when the RSI exceeds 70 or when the price closes below the 20-period MA. Based on the current price action, this strategy would have triggered an entry around 0.2642 with a clear stop-loss at 0.2567. The recent move above the 0.28 level has provided a favorable risk/reward profile, with potential for further gains if the 0.2863 high is retested and confirmed. The strategy could be refined by incorporating Fibonacci levels and volume confirmation to better time entries and exits.
