Price then consolidated within the bands from 23:00 UTC onward, closing near the upper band at $6.32. The recent expansion suggests traders are bracing for further price action, though the upper band remains a key near-term resistance.

Daily Fibonacci levels from a recent peak at $6.38 to a trough at $6.06 identified key support at $6.22 and resistance at $6.35, with the closing price near the 78.6% level.
Backtest Hypothesis
Given the recent RSI divergence and the formation of a bullish engulfing candle, a potential backtesting strategy could involve entering long positions when RSI exits oversold territory and is confirmed by volume surges, as seen near 06:00 UTC. A stop-loss could be placed just below $6.18, with a take-profit targeting $6.35. This approach aligns with the observed mean-reversion and trend-following signals.
