Vana/USDC opened at $2.823 (12:00 ET - 1) and traded between $2.674 and $2.874 over the 24-hour period, closing at $2.778 (12:00 ET). The total volume was approximately 16,825.57, with a notional turnover of roughly $45,933. The asset appears to be consolidating near a key support level after a sharp correction early in the session.

The 15-minute chart shows a bearish breakdown attempt from $2.80 into the $2.75–$2.70 range, but price bounced off this zone with confirmation via a bullish reversal candle around $2.755. A 20-period SMA has crossed below the 50-period SMA, suggesting short-term bearish momentum, while the daily 50/100/200 SMA alignment remains neutral-to-unclear. Price appears to be in a transitional phase as it tests lower time-frame support levels.

The RSI reached oversold territory (around 30) during the early-morning low but has since risen, indicating possible short-term exhaustion of the downward move. MACD remains below zero with a narrowing histogram, suggesting that bear momentum is weakening. Bollinger Bands have expanded with the morning selloff, and price is currently trading near the lower band, hinting at potential for a bounce or a continuation of the downward trend.

Fibonacci retracement levels from the $2.674 to $2.874 swing suggest that $2.777 (61.8%) is a key psychological and mathematical support zone. Given the recent volume divergence and price action, traders may watch for a potential bounce or consolidation near this level. The next 24 hours could offer clarity on whether the bearish move has run its course or if further downside is in play.

The backtesting strategy described focuses on the “Bullish Engulfing” candlestick pattern, which is a strong reversal signal in a downtrend. While the pattern itself has not yet been identified in the current dataset, the recent price action suggests that the conditions for such a formation may be emerging. The strategy assumes that the correct symbol—likely "VANA-USDC" on a major exchange like Binance or OKX—will be provided for backtesting. Once the symbol is confirmed, historical data can be retrieved to identify past occurrences of the pattern, enabling a backtest of a 24-hour holding strategy from January 2022 to today. This approach aligns with the current analysis, where a consolidation near Fibonacci and Bollinger support levels could signal a potential setup for a bullish reversal.
