Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are closely aligned, both sloping upward in the latter half of the session, indicating a strong short-term bullish trend. The 50-period MA crossed above the 100-period on the daily chart, confirming a positive bias. The 200-period MA remains below current price levels, suggesting long-term momentum remains intact.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed above the signal line just before 19:00 ET, confirming bullish momentum as price surged. RSI reached the 61.8% Fibonacci level and moved into overbought territory, reaching 68 at 03:30 ET. This suggests a possible near-term pullback. A bearish divergence appears after 06:00 ET, where RSI peaked at 68 while price continued to rise, indicating weakening momentum.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly from 19:00 ET onward as volatility increased. Price traded near the upper band until 03:30 ET, when it hit the 0.005545 high and pulled back. By 06:00 ET, price settled within the channel between the middle and lower bands, suggesting a temporary consolidation phase.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked dramatically during the breakout at 19:00 ET, with over 959,451 units traded in a single 15-minute interval. A second volume spike occurred at 03:30 ET, but price reversed, indicating possible profit-taking. Turnover remained elevated through the session, though some divergence appeared as price rose but volume declined in the latter half of the day.

Fibonacci Retracements

Key Fibonacci retracement levels from the 0.005274 to 0.005545 swing include 0.005413 (38.2%), 0.005458 (50%), and 0.005488 (61.8%). Price stalled near 0.005488 twice and reversed sharply, indicating strong resistance. A potential retracement target for a pullback could be 0.00538–0.005410, where prior support now acts as a likely consolidation zone.

Backtest Hypothesis

The proposed backtest strategy involves entering a long position when price crosses above both the 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart, with a stop-loss placed below the nearest support level and a take-profit target at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. The analysis above shows that such a signal occurred at 19:00 ET, where price broke out and remained above key moving averages. The strategy could be validated by tracking performance over multiple breakout events in historical data, focusing on volatility patterns and RSI divergence as early reversal signals.
