Moving Averages

The 15-minute chart shows the price closing above both the 20 and 50 EMA lines, reinforcing a bullish bias. On the daily chart, the 50 EMA has been trending upwards and is currently near 0.02825, while the 200 EMA is at 0.02800. The price is above both, supporting a long-term bullish outlook, though a pullback to the 50 EMA may offer a reentry point.

MACD & RSI

MACD turned positive in the last 4 hours, with the signal line crossing above the histogram, confirming a bullish momentum shift. The RSI reached 68, indicating overbought conditions, which may precede a pullback. Traders should watch for a RSI dip below 58 to confirm bearish momentum or a continuation above 62 for further bullish conviction.

Bollinger Bands

The price remained within a tight Bollinger Band contraction for most of the 24-hour period, reaching a 15-minute standard deviation low of 0.8 before breaking out. This contraction suggested low volatility, followed by a breakout above the upper band at 0.02899, signaling a potential continuation of the bullish trend.

Volume & Turnover

Volume increased significantly during the final 6 hours, aligning with the breakout above 0.02845 and the RSI overbought signal. Notional turnover also increased, confirming price strength. A divergence between price and volume occurred at 01:45 ET when the price made a new high but volume did not confirm the move. However, this was followed by a strong volume rally in the final hours.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the recent 15-minute swing from 0.02780 to 0.02899, the 38.2% level sits at 0.02840 and the 61.8% level at 0.02875. Price tested the 61.8% level before closing near it, suggesting a possible consolidation or pullback to the 38.2% level. Daily Fibonacci levels also suggest a potential retest of the 0.02830 (38.2%) and 0.02860 (61.8%) levels.

Backtest Hypothesis

The described backtesting strategy involves entering long positions when the price breaks above the 50 EMA on the 15-minute chart, with a stop loss placed below the previous swing low. If applied to the current SOPHUSDT action, this would have triggered a long entry at 0.02830 on October 7, with a stop at 0.02810. The strategy would have captured the 0.02896 close on October 8, yielding a 2.4% return. This aligns with the observed bullish engulfing pattern and volume surge, suggesting the strategy may work well in trending conditions but carry risk in sideways markets.
