Structure & Formations

A bearish breakdown was attempted at $4.536, but a strong bullish reversal followed in the form of a strong green candle on 2025-10-31 19:15:00, closing at $4.467. This was followed by a series of higher lows and higher highs from 19:30:00 onward, culminating in a key bullish engulfing pattern at 04:15:00 on 2025-10-31, with a close of $4.722. The formation at this level appears to have reversed the bearish momentum. Key support levels are identified at $4.534 and $4.57, with resistance forming around $4.61, $4.69, and the 24-hour high of $4.749. A doji at 05:00:00 on 2025-10-31 suggests short-term indecision.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20- and 50-period moving averages crossed from below to above the price around 21:45:00, indicating a bullish crossover. The 50-period MA crossed above the 20-period MA, confirming the bullish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA is currently at $4.69, just below the 200-period MA at $4.73. This suggests a neutral-to-bullish bias, with price consolidating around the 50-period MA.

Momentum and Volatility Indicators

The RSI reached overbought levels of 70 at 15:00:00 and 17:15:00, suggesting a potential pullback. However, the strong continuation of higher prices suggests that buyers are in control. MACD crossed above the signal line at 20:15:00, forming a bullish crossover with a strong positive histogram. Bollinger Bands have expanded significantly during the rebound, indicating rising volatility. Price is currently sitting near the upper band, suggesting a potential consolidation or pullback in the near term.

Volume and Turnover Dynamics

Volume surged during the rebound phase, particularly from 19:15:00 to 12:00:00, confirming the strength of the bullish move. Notional turnover increased in line with price, with no significant divergence observed. The largest single-candle volume spike occurred at 15:00:00 (23,149.74 units), aligning with the price surge to $4.749. This volume pattern appears to confirm a strong reversal and could indicate a shift in market sentiment.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the intraday swing from $4.467 to $4.749, key levels at 38.2% ($4.61) and 61.8% ($4.59) appear to have acted as support. The daily move from $4.467 to $4.749 shows a similar pattern, with the 61.8% retracement at $4.608 aligning with a key support level. These levels appear to have been respected by price action, indicating strong structural support.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest results from 2022-01-01 to 2025-10-31 provide a data-driven lens through which to interpret this price action. With a total return of +59.75% and an annualized return of 10.39%, the strategy appears to have generated consistent gains. The use of confirmed hammer patterns and forced one-day exits aligns with the recent behavior of LPTUSDT, where sharp rebounds occurred after bearish breakdown attempts. The 4.61–4.74 cluster of levels, as identified through Fibonacci and candlestick patterns, may reflect high-probability trade entry points. The relatively low Sharpe ratio of 0.51 and maximum drawdown of -23.39% suggest the need for risk management, particularly given the elevated RSI and Bollinger Band positioning.
