Structure and formations over the 24-hour window show price consolidating between $0.00443 and $0.00451 in the second half of the session. A small bearish engulfing pattern formed around 19:45 ET, which was later negated by a bullish recovery. A key support level at $0.00443 appears to have held on multiple occasions, while resistance at $0.00451 was tested but not decisively broken. A doji formed near $0.00452 at 22:45 ET, suggesting indecision and potential reversal signals.

Over the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages (SMA) converged around $0.00446 in the final hours, indicating a possible equilibrium point. The 50-period MA acted as dynamic support in the late hours, while the 20-period MA moved slightly above it, signaling cautious bullish momentum.

MACD showed a narrowing histogram and a near-zero crossover during the final hours, suggesting slowing momentum. RSI remained in the mid-40s to low-50s range, indicating neither overbought nor oversold conditions. Bollinger Bands widened in the midday session due to increased volatility, before contracting into a narrower range in the final 6 hours, signaling a potential consolidation phase.

Volume and notional turnover spiked around 19:30 ET, with a total of 5.55 million TLM transacted during the candle at that time. However, price failed to move decisively after the spike, suggesting a lack of follow-through. Turnover and volume were largely in alignment, with no clear divergence detected in the final 6 hours. The highest hourly turnover occurred between 19:30 and 20:00 ET, while the lowest was recorded in the early morning hours.

Fibonacci retracement levels drawn from the recent swing high of $0.00459 and swing low of $0.00443 show 61.8% at $0.00450 and 38.2% at $0.00448. Price tested both levels in the late afternoon and evening before retreating back toward the 50-period MA. A test of the 61.8% level could signal a possible short-term reversal if followed by volume confirmation.

Backtest Hypothesis:
The proposed backtesting strategy involves entering a long position when price closes above the 50-period SMA and RSI crosses above 50, with a stop-loss placed at the 20-period SMA. This approach was evaluated over the 24-hour period and showed potential during the midday surge but failed during the late afternoon pullback. The strategy may benefit from incorporating volume filtering to confirm bullish signals and reduce false entries during choppy conditions.
