Structure & Formations

BNTUSDT found strong support around 0.7201–0.7212, which was tested twice before a recovery began. A bullish engulfing pattern formed at 0.7205–0.7235 in mid-afternoon ET, followed by a long white candle at 0.7335–0.7388 late in the session. This candle confirmed a breakout above the 0.735 psychological level and hinted at renewed buying interest. Resistance levels to watch now are at 0.7435 and 0.7460, where a prior high and prior peak volume candles lie.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20 EMA crossed above the 50 EMA in early ET morning, forming a bullish crossover. By mid-day, price held well above both lines, confirming a strong short-term trend. The 50-period MA on the daily chart is currently at approximately 0.7295, and the 200-period MA at 0.7355, suggesting that the 0.7355 level may act as a critical support/resistance depending on the direction of the next move.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram turned positive in mid-day and remained bullish through the session, aligning with the upward move. RSI reached overbought territory near 75, peaking around 0.7402–0.7407 in the late session, indicating potential for a pullback. However, the sustained volume during the rally suggests strong conviction from buyers, which could delay a correction.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly as price moved from 0.7212 to 0.7460, indicating increased volatility. Price spent most of the session above the middle band and closed near the upper band. A contraction or retest of the lower band may signal a potential reversal or consolidation phase, especially if the RSI shows signs of exhaustion.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the late ET rebound, particularly between 0.7335–0.7388 and 0.7402–0.7460. The largest single candle, at 14,300 volume, occurred at 0.7416–0.7457 in early afternoon ET. Notional turnover also surged during this phase, confirming the strength of the rally. However, divergence between price and volume could emerge as a bearish signal if the rally fails to hold.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the recent swing from 0.7201 to 0.7460, key levels include 0.7340 (38.2%), 0.7392 (50%), and 0.7432 (61.8%). Price held above the 50% level during most of the session and closed near 0.7407, just below 61.8% retracement. A push above 0.7432 would confirm a continuation of the bullish trend.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy suggests a long entry on a bullish breakout above the 50-period EMA on the 15-minute chart, combined with a RSI reading above 55 and a closing candle above the upper Bollinger Band. Stop-loss is placed at the 20-period EMA, while take-profit targets are set at the next Fibonacci level and 61.8% retracement. Given today’s behavior, this strategy would have captured the afternoon rebound from 0.7335 to 0.7407 with a tight stop and favorable risk/reward. The recent volume confirmation and lack of bearish divergence suggest it may remain viable for the next session.
