A bullish engulfing pattern appeared at 22:15 ET when CELOUSDT surged from 0.1336 to 0.1362.

Moving Averages and Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands widened significantly during the 22:00–04:00 ET window, indicating heightened volatility. CELOUSDT closed above the 20-period MA at 0.1344, suggesting possible continuation of the upward momentum.
Momentum and Volatility
The RSI reached overbought levels above 70 during the sharp rally in late trading hours, indicating a potential pullback. MACD remained positive for most of the session, with a peak of 0.0029 at 22:15 ET. Volatility expanded after 22:00 ET, as seen in the large 5-minute candles, with a high of 0.1377 and low of 0.1357 within one hour.
Volume and Turnover
Trading volume spiked to 755,409.3 CELO at 12:30 ET, aligning with the price pullback from 0.1345 to 0.1325. Turnover increased in tandem with price spikes, especially during the 22:15–04:00 ET window, confirming the strength of both bullish and bearish moves. However, volume dipped below average after 12:30 ET, suggesting waning conviction in the downward move.
Key Fibonacci Levels and Retracements
The 0.1334 level acted as a key Fibonacci retracement at 38.2% during the rally from 0.1315 to 0.1377. A 61.8% retracement at 0.1346 became relevant during the afternoon, as price approached and briefly tested it before consolidating.
CELOUSDT appears to be in a consolidative phase following the recent rally, with the 0.1315–0.1365 range defining the immediate price action. If the 0.1346 level holds, a retest of 0.1377 could follow. However, a break below 0.1315 may trigger a retest of 0.1295. Investors should remain cautious about overbought RSI levels and watch for volume confirmation on any new directional move.
