FLOKIUSDT opened the 24-hour period at $0.00010317 on 2025-10-05 16:00 ET, surged to a high of $0.00010595 by midday on 2025-10-06, and closed at $0.00010484. Total volume reached 149.94 billion tokens, with notional turnover exceeding $281.5 billion. The price action featured a sharp 15-minute breakout but failed to sustain above key resistance levels.

The 15-minute chart revealed a bullish breakout pattern with a subsequent pullback. A large bullish candle at 14:15 ET (amounting to $19.98 billion in turnover) drove price above a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from earlier declines. However, this failed to hold, and price retraced slightly. Notable bearish divergence emerged in the latter half of the session, with volume failing to support the rally. Key support appears near $0.00010350, with resistance at $0.00010550 forming a consolidation barrier.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart show the 20-period MA crossing above the 50-period MA mid-session, suggesting short-term bullish momentum. However, the 50-period MA began to lag behind price in the late afternoon, signaling weakening momentum. Daily MAs (50/100/200) remain aligned in a bullish bias, though bearish divergence in the short-term indicators suggests caution for traders.

The RSI on the 15-minute chart reached overbought levels (above 70) during the morning breakout but failed to confirm a strong reversal. A bearish crossover in the MACD at 16:00 ET suggested weakening bullish momentum. Bollinger Bands expanded sharply during the breakout but have since retracted, with price currently hovering near the upper band. This suggests potential for a near-term pullback to test the mid-band or lower-bound support.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the observed short-term overbought conditions and bearish MACD crossover, a potential backtesting strategy could involve entering short positions at the close of the 16:00 ET candle (price: $0.00010484) with a stop-loss just above the upper Bollinger Band at $0.00010595 and a target near the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.00010378. This approach would rely on mean reversion principles and RSI divergence. Historical data would be required to validate the strategy’s effectiveness, but the current setup aligns well with such an approach.
