Structure & Candlestick Patterns
Price action in the 5-minute chart showed a strong bullish engulfing pattern at 1,591,406 MXN, followed by a sharp rally to 1,610,000 MXN. This was confirmed by a follow-through move past 1,620,000 MXN. A long upper shadow appeared in the early morning session, suggesting rejection of higher prices, but the overall formation remained bullish.
Technical Indicators
The 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 5-minute chart crossed to the upside, confirming the short-term uptrend. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA was above the 200-period MA, reinforcing the bullish bias. The RSI reached 27 early in the session, signaling oversold conditions, before surging toward overbought territory (75) during the breakout. The MACD crossed above the signal line, supporting the move higher.
Volatility and Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands widened after 00:00 ET as volatility surged, with price pushing above the upper band and staying there through most of the day. The narrowing of bands earlier in the session suggested a consolidation period, followed by a decisive break. The move above the upper band may indicate continued bullish momentum, though a retest of the lower band could be expected.
Volume and Turnover
Volume remained subdued until the final 2 hours of the session, when it spiked to over 0.667 BTC, confirming the breakout. Notional turnover increased in line with the price surge, indicating strong buying pressure. The divergence in early volume levels versus price action suggested indecision, but the final 2 hours brought clear conviction.
Fibonacci Retracements
On the 5-minute chart, price found support at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the 1,591,406–1,610,000 MXN move before surging higher. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement of the previous 24-hour swing provided support in the early hours of 2025-12-22, reinforcing the bullish trend.
Price appears to have broken out of a key range with strong volume, suggesting that BTCMXN could continue upward into the next 24 hours. However, traders should remain cautious of a pullback to the 1,610,000 MXN level for confirmation. Volatility may persist as the market digests the recent move.
