Structure & Formations

Price action revealed a strong bullish thrust, with a long white candle on the 15-minute chart at 09:00–09:15 ET forming a strong breakout pattern. Resistance levels formed at 190,000 and 195,000, with the latter now acting as support. A potential bearish engulfing pattern emerged at 15:00–15:15 ET as the close moved below the previous candle's open, suggesting short-term exhaustion. No significant doji appeared, but the price may test these levels again in the near future.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average crossed above the 50-period line, confirming short-term bullish momentum. However, the 50-period line is now approaching the current price level of 198,820, potentially limiting further gains. On the daily chart, the 50-period moving average is at 185,000, well below current price, signaling a strong breakout from prior bearish bias.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed into positive territory during the early morning and has maintained bullish momentum, with a histogram widening through the 05:00–08:00 ET period. RSI reached 72 near the session high, indicating overbought conditions that may prompt a pullback. However, the overbought reading has not led to a reversal, suggesting strong conviction in the bullish move.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands widened significantly after 04:00 ET as price surged above the upper band, indicating heightened volatility. Price remained outside the upper band for a sustained period, suggesting continuation of the bullish trend. A contraction in the bands is expected after the current move, potentially leading to a consolidation phase.

Volume & Turnover

Trading volume spiked in the last 6 hours of the session, with the 12:00–15:00 ET window accounting for over 50% of the total volume. Notional turnover mirrored this pattern, with a notable divergence in the last two hours where price dipped slightly while volume remained high—suggesting potential accumulation. This volume behavior may signal a distribution phase if price fails to break above 205,000.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the most recent 15-minute swing (182,698–204,932), key levels at 38.2% (~194,000) and 61.8% (~190,700) have acted as temporary consolidation zones. The 198,820 close sits near the 76.4% retracement level, suggesting further testing of the 88.6% level (~200,200) could follow if the momentum continues.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy described is a breakout-based approach that enters long when price closes above the upper Bollinger Band and exits on a close below the 20-period moving average. This aligns with the current price action, as the breakout has been confirmed by volume and sustained price above the upper band. A long entry signal could have been triggered around 05:00 ET when the breakout was confirmed, and a stop-loss could be placed just below 185,000, the 50-period daily moving average. Given the recent divergence in volume and RSI overbought conditions, a take-profit level at 200,000 could be considered, with caution if the RSI fails to retreat below 60.
