A key bullish engulfing pattern formed at 14:30 ET on October 13, confirming a breakout above the prior resistance. Price then extended to 0.00034332, forming a new swing high. This suggests buyers regained control after a prolonged consolidation.

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages both rose during the session, supporting the upward move. Price crossed above the 50SMA with volume, a positive sign for near-term momentum. On the daily chart, the 50- and 200-period SMAs remain in a tight alignment, with no clear trend yet established.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram turned positive during the breakout at 14:30 ET, with a rising trend line suggesting strengthening momentum. RSI moved into overbought territory (65–70 range) near 0.00034332 but has not yet shown signs of divergence. This suggests that buyers remain in control, although a pullback could be imminent.

Volatility expanded during the final hours of the session, with price approaching the upper Bollinger Band at 0.00034332. The band width increased from 0.000003 to 0.000014, reflecting rising uncertainty and activity. A retest of the lower band near 0.00033164 could offer a potential entry point for longs.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the swing from 0.00032972 to 0.00034332, the 23.6% retrace is at 0.0003383 and 38.2% at 0.0003358. Price has already tested the 23.6% level but failed to hold it, suggesting that the 38.2% retracement could act as a short-term support.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy focused on the "Bullish-Engulfing" pattern observed at 14:30 ET. This pattern was extracted from a technical-pattern file and used as a buy signal. The holding period was fixed at 3 trading days, with no stop-loss or take-profit levels specified. While the volume confirmed the breakout, the performance of this pattern will depend on how well it holds in subsequent sessions. The lack of trailing stops or profit targets increases exposure to volatility and whipsaws. Investors considering this pattern should backtest it with additional risk controls and consider using a 1–2% stop-loss to manage downside risk.
