Opening and Price Action Summary

At 12:00 ET on 2025-09-18, BNB/Argentine Peso (BNBARS) opened at 1,487,028 ARS, after closing at 1,487,028 ARS at 12:00 ET the previous day. The pair surged throughout the session, peaking at 1,517,318 ARS, and settled at 1,516,979 ARS by the end of the reporting window. Over the 24-hour period, total volume was approximately 17.31 BNB, with a notional turnover of ~25.86 billion ARS.

Structure & Formations

Price moved in a strong bullish trend throughout the session, with a series of higher highs and higher lows forming an uptrend channel. A key breakout above the prior high of 1,492,952 ARS occurred around 08:15 ET, followed by a continuation into the upper range. A strong bearish reversal candle at 10:45 ET (1485982 ARS) was quickly retraced, showing strong buying interest. A potential bearish divergence appeared near the session high, which could signal a short-term pullback.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are currently in a bullish alignment, with the 20 SMA sitting well above the 50 SMA. The price is trading above both, indicating strong upward momentum. On a daily basis, longer-term moving averages (100/200) would need to be analyzed for confirmation of trend strength, but based on the 15-minute data alone, the pair is in a strong bullish phase.

MACD & RSI

The 15-minute MACD has crossed above the zero line and shows a positive divergence, confirming bullish momentum. The RSI reached overbought territory (75–80) by mid-session, suggesting that the rally may have overextended and could see a near-term correction. A pullback could test the 1,492,952 ARS level, which may act as a key support if the trend remains intact.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the rally, with price frequently touching the upper band. This expansion reflects increased volatility and investor participation. By the late part of the session, price was trading just below the upper band, indicating a strong continuation in place. A break below the middle band could signal a short-term reversal.

Volume & Turnover

Volume was relatively moderate throughout most of the session but spiked at key breakout levels, particularly during the midday rally. The notional turnover increased in lockstep with price, supporting the legitimacy of the rally. A divergence between volume and price action emerged in the final hours, with price rising despite lower volume—this could indicate a potential near-term topping pattern.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the 15-minute swing from 1,418,794 ARS to 1,517,318 ARS, key levels include:- 61.8% retracement at ~1,468,000 ARS- 50% at ~1,468,061 ARS- 38.2% at ~1,484,561 ARS

Price appears to be testing the 50% and 61.8% levels after the peak, suggesting these may act as potential support zones in the event of a pullback.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy involves a combination of RSI divergence and Bollinger Band width expansion. Specifically, the strategy triggers a long entry when RSI falls below 30 (oversold) and the Bollinger Band width contracts to its 20-period minimum, suggesting a potential reversal. It exits when RSI crosses above 50 or after a 15% profit target is hit. Given the recent overbought RSI and wide Bollinger Bands, the strategy would not trigger a new long entry at this time but may signal a short entry if RSI diverges and volatility contracts—scenarios currently not visible. For BNBARS, this strategy would have captured most of the 24-hour rally if triggered earlier, but its performance in the next phase will depend on whether a pullback occurs.
