Structure & Formations

Convex Finance (CVXUSDC) displayed a strong bullish reversal in the final 4.5 hours of the 24-hour period, breaking above key psychological and Fibonacci resistance levels. A long upper wick in the 15:45–16:00 candle confirmed a test of the 4.08 level, which acted as a cap before a decisive breakout. A bullish engulfing pattern emerged around the 07:45–08:00 window, followed by a series of higher highs and higher lows, indicating strengthening near-term demand. Notable support levels were identified at 3.885, 3.85, and 3.752, while resistance shifted from 4.00 to the new upper Bollinger Band of 4.08–4.09.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, price closed above the 20-period and 50-period moving averages, with the 20-period MA now above the 50-period MA, forming a bullish crossover. Daily moving averages (50, 100, 200) are not provided, but the 15-minute crossover and sustained momentum above the 50-period MA suggest a short-term uptrend is in place.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed above the signal line during the 07:45–08:00 window and remained in positive territory, aligning with the bullish price action. The RSI reached overbought conditions, peaking at ~67–68 during the 15:30–16:00 ET rally. While not extreme overbought (70+), this suggests that further momentum is likely to slow or consolidate in the near term. A pullback could see the RSI fall toward neutral or oversold levels (~40–30) if bearish pressure reemerges.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly during the final hours, with the upper Bollinger Band reaching 4.09 and the lower at 3.93. Price closed just below the upper band at 4.021, indicating strong momentum but also a potential overextension. A break of the upper band could signal a new near-term high, but a close below the 20-period MA may indicate a possible pullback toward the mid-band or lower.

Volume & Turnover

Trading volume and turnover surged during the 15:30–16:00 ET window, with over 3,178.493 units traded at ~$12,825.65, confirming the strength of the breakout. Earlier in the day, a volume spike at 08:30–08:45 ET (1,286.58 units, $4,323.37) helped push price above 3.923. The final hour’s volume and turnover were in line with confirmation of a breakout rather than a trap, suggesting genuine buying pressure.

Fibonacci Retracements

A key 15-minute swing from 3.806 (2025-08-20 06:30) to 4.091 (2025-08-20 15:45) was identified, with the 61.8% retracement level at ~4.00. Price broke through this level and closed at 4.021, indicating a possible extension into the 4.09–4.10 range. A pullback may test the 38.2% level (~3.95) as support, with the 50% level (~3.95) also serving as potential resistance in a reversal scenario.

Convex Finance appears to be entering a strong short-term bullish phase, supported by volume, momentum, and structure. The next 24 hours could see a consolidation or a test of 4.09–4.10, but a reversal below the 3.93–3.95 range may trigger a retest of 3.85–3.88. Investors should monitor for divergence in RSI and volume during any pullback.
