Price Movement and Key Levels

NKNUSDT opened at $0.0156 on 2025-11-06 12:00 ET and closed at $0.0165 at 12:00 ET on 2025-11-07, with an intraday high of $0.0166 and low of $0.0154. The pair moved into a bullish breakout from a tight consolidation range forming near $0.016, supported by increased volume in early morning trading hours. The price appears to be testing key resistance at $0.0165–$0.0166 and may retest this level for confirmation.

Key support levels are emerging around $0.0159–$0.0160, where several candlestick patterns formed with bearish and bullish reversals. Notably, a Bullish Engulfing pattern appeared at $0.016–$0.0161, suggesting short-term bullish momentum. A potential Doji Star at $0.0161–$0.0162 may signal indecision, but given the overall context, a continuation to the upside seems likely.

Volume and Turnover

Total 24-hour volume amounted to 8,659,478.0 units, translating to a turnover of approximately $138,551. Volume was most active from 00:00 to 05:45 ET, particularly around the $0.0163–$0.0165 range. This suggests strong buying interest as the price moved past the $0.0161 level. No major divergence between price and volume was observed, indicating that the rally is being supported by accumulation.

Momentum and Volatility

RSI on the 15-minute chart reached a high of 59, indicating moderate bullish momentum but not overbought territory. MACD showed a positive crossover and a rising histogram, suggesting that bullish momentum is accelerating. Volatility expanded during the breakout, with price moving beyond the upper Bollinger Band at $0.0165. The 20-period Bollinger Band width increased from 0.00016 to 0.00021, reinforcing the idea that the market is entering a more dynamic phase.

Fibonacci retracements drawn on the recent swing from $0.0154 to $0.0166 show 38.2% and 61.8% levels at $0.0160 and $0.0163, respectively. Price currently resides near 61.8%, and a close above $0.0166 could trigger an extension beyond $0.0168–$0.0170.

Backtest Hypothesis

To refine strategy design, we need to clarify whether “NKN” refers to the cryptocurrency NKN, typically traded as NKN-USD or NKN-USDT, or if it is a stock ticker. If it is the crypto version, a preferred data source (e.g., Binance, Kraken, or Coinbase) is required to ensure accurate historical candlestick data.

Assuming NKN-USDT is the correct instrument, the backtest strategy involves identifying bullish reversal patterns such as Bullish Engulfing and Doji Stars on the 15-minute chart, followed by a 3-day holding period starting from the close of the pattern. This hypothesis aligns with today’s observed Bullish Engulfing pattern at $0.0161 and could serve as a short-term long signal for the next 72 hours.
