Structure & Formations

Price formed a bullish engulfing pattern around 18:15 ET as CKBUSDT rallied from $0.004238 to $0.004273. This was followed by a bullish continuation phase until a bearish engulfing pattern emerged at 19:15 ET, leading to a pullback to $0.004299. The formation at $0.004299 appears to indicate a temporary stall in the upward move, with $0.00426–$0.00428 forming a key congestion zone.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA has crossed above the 50-period, confirming a short-term bullish bias. The 50-period MA is currently at $0.004253, while the 200-period MA on the daily chart sits at $0.004242, suggesting the rally remains within a broader bullish trend. Price is above both the 20 and 50 MAs, reinforcing the near-term upside.

MACD & RSI

The MACD turned negative during the afternoon pullback, reflecting reduced bullish momentum. However, the histogram remains above the zero line, indicating that buyers are still in control. RSI has pulled back from 60 to 55, signaling a neutral to overbought consolidation phase. A close above $0.00428 could reignite bullish momentum, while a retest of $0.00424 would trigger caution.

Bollinger Bands

Price has been trading within the Bollinger Bands with a narrowing of the band width following the post-noon high. This volatility contraction suggests a potential breakout or reversal is imminent. If CKBUSDT breaks above the upper band at $0.004287, it could target $0.00432, aligning with the 61.8% Fibonacci level from the morning rally.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged during the morning rally, peaking at 16.95 million USDT at 19:15 ET. However, the post-noon pullback saw a drop in volume, indicating a lack of conviction among sellers. Notional turnover mirrored this pattern, rising to $62,563 at the high before retreating. A sustained volume increase on a new high could confirm a breakout.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the morning swing from $0.004172 to $0.004316, the 38.2% level is at $0.004246 and the 61.8% level is at $0.004284. Price has been consolidating near the 61.8% level, suggesting a potential stall or reversal. If the 61.8% level holds, the next target is $0.00432, a potential psychological round-number level that could attract further buying interest.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy involves entering long positions when price closes above the 20-period MA on the 15-minute chart, with a stop-loss placed below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the most recent bull wave. This approach would have captured the morning rally and would have held through the midday high at $0.004316, with a trailing stop at $0.00429. The strategy appears to align well with CKBUSDT’s current behavior, especially if the price remains above the $0.00426 support and the 50-period MA. Given the current volatility pattern and RSI conditions, this strategy could be considered for the next 48 hours with a target of $0.00432 and a stop-loss at $0.00424.
