Structure & Formations

The price action displayed a key reversal pattern around 4.071, signaling a short-term bottom. A strong bearish engulfing candle formed at 4.44 as a potential top, though it failed to hold. A doji formed near 4.100, indicating indecision, but was followed by a bullish breakout. The 4.100–4.124 range appears to be a pivotal support zone.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages crossed near 4.085, forming a bullish crossover. This supports the recent bullish breakout above 4.100. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA is at 4.04, while the 200-period MA is at 4.00, suggesting the trend may remain positive if the asset stays above 4.100.

MACD & RSI

The MACD turned positive around 4.124, confirming the bullish breakout. RSI peaked at 72, signaling overbought conditions, but remains above 60, indicating ongoing buying pressure. A pullback to RSI ~55–60 may confirm short-term exhaustion or consolidation.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly as price broke above the upper band near 4.44, a sign of strong bullish momentum. The current price of 4.191 is within the upper half of the bands, suggesting continuation potential if volume remains elevated.

Volume & Turnover

The most significant volume spike was at 4.44 with a turnover of $379,237.59, validating the breakout. However, a lower volume at 4.100–4.124 (turnover ~$246,955.53) indicates less conviction at the recent support. Divergence may appear if further advances fail to match this volume profile.

Fibonacci Retracements

A key 61.8% retracement level is at 4.173, which aligns with the 4.173–4.184 pullback. This level could offer support if the upward trend continues. On the larger 15-minute swing from 3.941 to 4.44, the 38.2% level is at 4.255 and could serve as resistance.

Backtest Hypothesis

The breakout at 4.44 could be evaluated using a backtest strategy that identifies close > previous 252-day high by at least 0.5%. This threshold is appropriate for identifying strong breakout events in a high-volatility asset like CTRY. A backtest from 20220101–20251113 could confirm the success rate of such signals, particularly when volume and RSI align with bullish momentum.

The forward outlook suggests CTRY may test key resistance at 4.255–4.261 over the next 24 hours, with a risk of a pullback to 4.100–4.124 if short-term momentum fades. Investors should remain cautious of overbought RSI and divergence in volume, which could trigger consolidation or reversal.
