MACD turned positive around 08:00 ET and remained so until the 16:00 ET high, confirming the rally. However, RSI peaked at 70, signaling overbought conditions. Price later drifted back to the 20SMA, which currently sits at 0.0690, suggesting a potential test of key support. Bollinger Bands expanded as volatility rose, with price closing near the lower band at 0.0684–0.0686.

Fibonacci levels from the 0.0668–0.0728 swing show 38.2% at 0.0694 and 61.8% at 0.0683, with current price aligning near the 61.8% retracement level. Volume surged in the final 90 minutes, peaking at 1.03M during the 15:00–15:30 ET candle, but price failed to hold above 0.0709. This divergence suggests caution in the near-term.

Backtest Hypothesis
A backtest could be designed around a breakout-bounce strategy using the 20SMA and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. The approach would enter longs when price breaks above the 20SMA and confirms above the 38.2% level, with a stop-loss placed below a recent swing low (0.0684). Given today’s price behavior, a breakout at 0.0694–0.0696 could signal a potential short-term bullish setup, but the overbought RSI and hanging man pattern suggest caution. A test of the 61.8% level (~0.0683) may offer a key support area for confirmation or reversal.
