Structure & Formations

Key support levels were tested and rejected around $0.005700 and $0.005750, with a bullish engulfing pattern forming from 18:45 to 19:00 ET, followed by a continuation rally. A bearish doji formed briefly at 22:15 ET but failed to reverse the trend. The price later found resistance at $0.005862 before consolidating. A 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from the swing low to high aligned well with the key breakout level of $0.005800, reinforcing the validity of the rally.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period SMAs crossed to the upside late afternoon, confirming the bullish breakout. For the daily timeframe, the 50-day SMA (approx. $0.005740) is currently supportive, with the 200-day SMA at $0.005650 serving as a critical long-term floor. The 100-day SMA at $0.005715 has also been cleared, supporting a continuation bias.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed above the zero line from 15:00 ET, with a positive histogram suggesting sustained bullish momentum. RSI climbed to 62–65 by 18:45 ET and peaked at 68 by 15:30 ET before retreating, indicating strong buying interest without immediate overbought conditions. Divergence between price and RSI is absent, supporting the continuation of the upward trend.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded sharply after 15:00 ET, with price breaking above the upper band at $0.005862. The lower band hovered near $0.005700, acting as a key support during the morning. Price remained above the 20-period SMA within the band until the breakout. The widening of the bands confirms increased volatility and potential trend extension.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the breakout around $0.005800 with a peak of 2.72 million XVG at 15:15 ET. Turnover also aligned with the price move, showing no divergence. A subsequent pullback saw volume dip to around 750,000 XVG but remained above the 15-minute average, indicating continued participation. Turnover was highest in the 14:45–15:30 ET window, confirming the bullish thesis.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci levels were key in shaping the recent rally. The 61.8% retracement at $0.005790–$0.005800 was cleared with strong volume, while the 38.2% retracement at $0.005760 served as a short-term floor. These levels align with key support and resistance levels identified from the 15-minute and daily charts, reinforcing the structure of the rally.

Backtest Hypothesis

The provided backtesting strategy hinges on a bullish breakout confirmation from a defined support level with concurrent volume expansion. In this 24-hour period, XVG/USDT demonstrated a breakout above the 61.8% Fibonacci level at $0.005800 with strong volume and MACD confirmation. A hypothetical entry at the close of the breakout candle (15:00 ET, $0.005806) with a stop-loss below the 38.2% retracement at $0.005760 would have captured the subsequent rally. This setup aligns closely with the described backtest parameters and would be worth evaluating for future use in a broader systematic approach.
