MDTUSDT experienced a sharp rally beginning at 00:30 ET with a large bullish candle that extended the high to $0.02209. This move, however, appeared to lack follow-through, as subsequent candles showed indecision, pulling back to a 24-hour low of $0.02142. The price action resembles a classic false breakout, with volume peaking at the high but failing to sustain the move. Key support levels are forming around the $0.02142–$0.02150 range, which has been tested multiple times. A potential resistance zone is developing near $0.02170–$0.02175, where the price struggled to maintain a rally.

The 15-minute 20SMA and 50SMA crossed over during the early hours, indicating a short-term bearish shift. By the morning, the 50SMA had pulled back, forming a minor support line. The 20SMA now lies slightly above the 50SMA, suggesting a potential bearish divergence. MACD flattened after the initial move, with the histogram indicating a loss of momentum. RSI is hovering near 50, signaling a neutral zone, but with no clear overbought or oversold conditions. Bollinger Bands show a recent contraction, indicating a period of consolidation, with the price currently sitting slightly above the 20-period middle band.

Fibonacci retracement levels from the recent swing high ($0.02209) to the swing low ($0.02142) highlight key levels at 38.2% ($0.02176) and 61.8% ($0.02160). The current price is aligning with the 61.8% level, suggesting a potential pause. A break below $0.02142 could trigger a test of the next support at $0.02136–$0.02132. Volume remains unevenly distributed, with spikes during the breakout and consolidation phases, but no clear correlation with price direction. This divergence raises concerns about the reliability of volume as a confirmation signal.

Backtest Hypothesis

The proposed backtesting strategy suggests entering long positions when RSI drops below 30 and price breaks above the 20-period SMA on the 15-minute chart, with an initial stop loss placed below the most recent swing low. Conversely, short positions are triggered when RSI rises above 70 and price closes below the 20-period SMA, with a stop loss above the most recent swing high. Given today’s price behavior, the strategy would have triggered a long signal around $0.02142–$0.02145 due to RSI dipping below 30 and a minor close above the 20SMA during the morning. However, the lack of sustained follow-through and volume divergence may have limited the effectiveness of such a signal. Future tests should consider including a filter for volume confirmation and a broader time frame for trend alignment.
