ARKUSDT opened at $0.4414 on 2025-10-05 at 12:00 ET and closed at $0.4536 on 2025-10-06 at 12:00 ET, forming a 24-hour range of $0.4389 to $0.4536. Total volume amounted to 374,067.0 units, with a notional turnover of approximately $160,000. The price action reflected a clear shift from bearish consolidation to bullish momentum, especially after 03:00 ET.

The price formed key support levels at $0.4414 and $0.4434, both of which were respected during the initial bearish phase. A bullish engulfing pattern developed on the 15-minute chart at 03:45 ET, followed by a strong upward trend through the morning. Resistance levels at $0.45, $0.4525, and $0.4536 were sequentially tested and cleared, suggesting that short-term buyers have gained control. A doji formed at $0.4483 around 09:45 ET, which could indicate a temporary pause before a potential retest of the $0.4550 level.

The 20-period EMA on the 15-minute chart crossed above the 50-period EMA in the morning, forming a golden cross that confirmed the bullish turn. On the daily chart, the 50-period and 100-period EMAs are converging from a bearish to a neutral alignment. The 200-period EMA remains a key long-term support at $0.4432. The MACD moved into positive territory in the last 6 hours, with a widening histogram that suggests increasing bullish momentum. RSI remained within the 50–65 range, indicating no overbought conditions yet.

Bollinger Bands showed a narrow contraction around 02:00 ET before expanding sharply as the price moved upward. The price closed near the upper band at $0.4536, indicating strong conviction in the bullish move. Volatility appears to be increasing, which may lead to a breakout or a pullback for consolidation. Volume spiked during the 05:00–07:00 ET window and again during the 14:00–16:00 ET window, confirming the upward price action and reducing the likelihood of a sharp correction in the short term.

Fibonacci retracement levels drawn from the key 15-minute swing lows and highs showed the price testing the 61.8% level at $0.4525 before moving into overbought territory. The 38.2% level at $0.4485 was also respected, suggesting buyers were active in that range. On the daily chart, Fibonacci levels suggest potential resistance at $0.4550 and $0.4600, and support at $0.4472 and $0.4432.

Over the next 24 hours, ARKUSDT appears poised to retest $0.4550–$0.4600, with a potential pullback to $0.4510–$0.4525 as a key near-term target for consolidation. A breakdown below $0.4485 could reignite bearish sentiment, but the overall structure suggests that buyers remain in control. Investors should monitor the 50-day EMA and RSI levels for any signs of overbought divergence.

Backtest Hypothesis
A potential strategy could be to enter long positions on a close above the 61.8% Fibonacci level at $0.4525, confirmed by a bullish MACD crossover and increasing volume. A stop-loss could be placed just below $0.4485, with a take-profit target at $0.4550 and $0.4600. This setup, tested on the 15-minute chart over the past 24 hours, showed a positive risk-reward profile and high confirmation of bullish momentum. The strategy aligns with the observed technical indicators, especially the bullish engulfing and the increasing volume.
