Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart showed a clear bullish structure, with key support at 0.2522–0.2545 and resistance levels at 0.265–0.268 and 0.270–0.272. A notable bullish engulfing pattern formed after the price tested 0.2658 and pushed higher. Additionally, a strong pinocchio-like reversal appeared at the 0.2545 open before the price reversed to the upside. The 0.265–0.268 range appears to be a critical consolidation area with strong buying interest.

Moving Averages

The 15-minute chart saw the price close above the 20 and 50-period moving averages, confirming the short-term bullish trend. The daily chart remains above the 50-period MA but has not yet closed above the 200-period line, indicating a continuation of a medium-term positive bias but caution around long-term trend strength.

MACD & RSI

MACD showed a bullish crossover and expanding positive divergence, confirming the upward move. RSI reached a peak of 58 on the 15-minute chart, indicating moderate momentum and not yet overbought. This suggests the current rally could continue if support levels at 0.265–0.268 hold firm.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly as the price moved from the lower band at 0.2522 to the upper band at 0.2721. The current price of 0.2673 is comfortably inside the bands, indicating that the market remains within a controlled trend. The expansion of the bands signals heightened volatility, which could lead to either a continuation or a consolidation phase.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked sharply after 00:00 ET on 2025-09-18, confirming the bullish breakout above 0.2658. The highest volume was observed in the 00:00–00:30 ET period, which coincided with a breakout to 0.2711. Turnover aligned with the volume spikes, suggesting no major divergence between price and volume. This implies strong conviction among buyers during the rally.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the recent 15-minute swing from 0.2522 to 0.2721, the current price sits near the 38.2% retracement level at 0.2658. A move above 0.2711 could test the 50% retracement at 0.2668 and potentially reach the 61.8% level at 0.2707. These levels could act as dynamic support/resistance during pullbacks.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy described leverages breakout entry points above key Fibonacci levels and volume confirmation. Given the strong volume expansion and price action above the 0.265–0.268 zone, this strategy could be well-suited to capture the continuation of the current bullish trend. A long entry above 0.2711 with a stop below 0.2658 and a target at 0.2707–0.2721 would align with the breakout and Fibonacci structure observed. This approach is consistent with the technical indicators discussed, particularly the MACD and Bollinger Bands, both suggesting ongoing bullish momentum.
