Structure & Formations

GMTUSDT formed a bullish engulfing pattern in the late morning before encountering a doji at the high of the day, signaling indecision. A subsequent bearish harami and a key support level at $0.0263–$0.0265 held for much of the session. Late-day price action saw a bullish breakout above the 20-period high, with a strong candle forming near $0.0275–$0.0285.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages converged around $0.0270–$0.0272, supporting a short-term bullish trend. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA sat at $0.0265, above the 100- and 200-period lines, suggesting a slightly bullish medium-term outlook.

MACD & RSI

MACD showed a positive crossover in the late afternoon with a growing histogram, supporting momentum. RSI reached overbought territory above 70 briefly, though failed to sustain the level, hinting at potential mean reversion. However, volume remained strong during the breakout, suggesting conviction.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly in the late afternoon, with Bollinger Bands widening and price touching the upper band at $0.0284–$0.0287. This suggests increased buying pressure and potential continuation into the next session, though a pullback toward the middle band could still occur.

Volume & Turnover

Volume was most concentrated in the 15:00–16:00 ET period, coinciding with the strongest price move. Turnover surged during this time, confirming the price breakout. However, divergence appeared in the late evening when price moved higher with lower volume, signaling potential caution.

Fibonacci Retracements

GMTUSDT closed near the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the intra-day range (from $0.0252 to $0.0287), a key psychological level. On the 15-minute chart, the 38.2% and 50% retracement levels acted as dynamic support and resistance during the morning and afternoon trading sessions.

Backtest Hypothesis

The proposed backtest strategy involves entering long positions on a bullish engulfing pattern confirmed by a close above the 20-period moving average, with a stop loss set below the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the pattern. Given today’s 15-minute candle action, a trade entry could have been triggered in the late morning with a target near the 61.8% level. This approach aligns with the observed late-day breakout and validates the strategy’s relevance in current volatility conditions.
