Structure & Formations

The candlestick structure shows a bullish breakout above the 0.0781–0.0783 resistance level from 18:45–19:00 ET, followed by a pullback to test key support at $0.0778 and $0.0776. A bearish doji formed at 22:45 ET, indicating indecision, while a bullish engulfing pattern emerged at 00:45–01:00 ET on the following day, signaling a potential continuation of upward momentum. The price action suggests that the 0.0772–0.0776 range is now a dynamic support cluster, and any break below could trigger a test of the 0.0760–0.0765 level.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages crossed into a bullish alignment during the rally from 18:00–19:00 ET, confirming the upward thrust. The daily chart shows the 50-period MA crossing above the 100-period MA, a “Golden Cross” that signals a longer-term bullish shift. The 200-period MA remains below the current price, indicating that the trend may still have room to run if the 0.0778 level holds.

MACD & RSI

The 15-minute MACD showed a bullish crossover and positive divergence from 18:45–01:00 ET, aligning with the price action. The RSI peaked above 65 during the rally, entering overbought territory but remained above 50 for most of the session, suggesting continued bullish pressure. However, the RSI did show a bearish divergence at 02:30–04:00 ET, which may have contributed to the pullback toward 0.0775. Overall, the momentum remains mixed but leans slightly bullish.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly between 18:45–22:45 ET, with the price breaking out of the upper band and subsequently retracing to the mid-band for consolidation. The current price is positioned near the lower band, indicating a possible oversold condition. A retest of the upper band could confirm the continuation of the recent bullish phase, while a break below the lower band would suggest a deeper pullback is in play.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the key bullish moves, particularly at 17:45–18:30 ET and again at 23:45–00:45 ET, with notional turnover reaching $4,120.55 during the 18:45–19:00 ET period. This suggests strong participation from larger players. A divergence between rising prices and declining volume after 02:45 ET may have foreshadowed the pullback, but the subsequent rally was confirmed by a sharp increase in volume at 00:45–01:00 ET.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci retracement levels drawn from the key swing high at $0.0786 and low at $0.0760 indicate critical levels: 61.8% at $0.0779 and 38.2% at $0.0772. The price has spent much of the day testing these levels, with a strong reaction observed at the 61.8% and 38.2% retracements. A close above the 0.0779 level could validate a continuation of the bullish trend, while a break below 0.0772 may signal a bearish correction.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy focuses on short-term mean reversion and trend continuation signals based on 15-minute RSI overbought/oversold conditions, combined with volume confirmation and Fibonacci level retests. For example, a long entry at the 38.2% Fibonacci level ($0.0772) during the 18:45–19:00 ET breakout was supported by bullish divergence in the RSI and MACD. A short entry could be triggered if the price closes below the 0.0768–0.0770 support with bearish divergence in the RSI. The strategy assumes a 3:1 risk-reward setup and utilizes tight stop-loss levels within the daily range for risk management.
