The PancakeSwap/Tether (CAKEUSDT) pair opened at $3.282 on 2025-10-05 at 12:00 ET and closed at $3.799 by 12:00 ET on 2025-10-06. The 24-hour session saw a high of $3.889 and a low of $3.176. Total traded volume was 13.8 million CAKE, and notional turnover amounted to approximately $51.55 million. Price action was marked by a sharp rally in the overnight session, with a key breakout above the prior range.

Structure and formations suggest a shift in sentiment. A bullish breakout above the descending trendline and a strong 15-minute bullish engulfing pattern at $3.367 signaled a reversal in momentum. A doji at $3.271 also marked a key consolidation point. The price then broke through the prior high of $3.385 with strong volume, forming a valid continuation pattern.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart showed a steep crossover as the trend accelerated. The 50-period daily MA at $3.32 provided support on the way up. The MACD turned positive in the morning session, confirming bullish momentum, while RSI spiked above 70, signaling overbought territory. This suggests a potential pause or pullback could be in order in the near term.

Bollinger Bands reflected increasing volatility, with the price breaking outside the upper band during the morning surge. A contraction was noted in the early part of the session before the breakout, a precursor to increased action. The price settled just below the upper band at the end of the session, indicating a continuation of the trend. Fibonacci retracements highlighted the 61.8% level at $3.56 as a support zone, which held briefly before a strong rebound.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy involves entering a long position when the 20-period moving average crosses above the 50-period moving average on the 15-minute chart, accompanied by a bullish engulfing pattern and confirmation by the RSI above 50. A stop-loss is placed below the most recent swing low, and a take-profit target is set at the nearest Fibonacci 61.8% extension level. Using the 2025-10-05 to 2025-10-06 data, this strategy would have triggered an entry around 12:00 ET at $3.282, with a stop-loss at $3.235 and a target of $3.56. Given the subsequent price action, this approach aligns well with the observed trend, though overbought RSI levels suggest a potential correction could be imminent, making risk management essential.
