Structure & Formations

Price action on the 15-minute chart revealed several key levels of support and resistance. A notable bearish engulfing pattern formed at 0.02502, followed by a bullish hammer near 0.02505 that reversed the downward trend. The 0.02499 level emerged as a critical support, with the price bouncing off it multiple times. On the upside, resistance clustered around 0.02528 and 0.02535, where several candles showed indecision, including a long-legged doji at 0.02525 and a high-volume rejection at 0.02532. These patterns suggest that traders are closely monitoring these levels for potential breakouts or breakdowns.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute timeframe, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages crossed into bullish territory after 20:00 ET on 2025-09-22. By 05:00 ET on 2025-09-23, the 50SMA had crossed above the 20SMA, signaling a potential short-term bullish bias. However, this was quickly challenged by a bearish crossover later in the session, particularly after a volume spike at 0.0249. The daily chart showed the 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages in a more neutral configuration, with no clear trend direction emerging from the longer time frame.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram showed a bearish divergence at 0.0249, where price made a new low but MACD did not. This suggested bearish exhaustion. By 07:00 ET, the MACD turned bullish as the price surged from 0.0249 to 0.02533, with the histogram expanding rapidly, reflecting strong buying pressure. The RSI confirmed overbought conditions in the 70–75 range during the late morning, signaling a potential pullback. However, the RSI did not enter oversold territory during the low at 0.02476, indicating that sellers had limited conviction.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed a marked expansion from 20:00 to 02:00 ET on 2025-09-23, with the price oscillating between the upper and lower bands. This indicated rising volatility during the rebound phase. A sharp contraction was observed around 06:30 ET, suggesting a period of consolidation ahead of a breakout attempt. The price closed just above the 20-period moving average, near the mid-band, indicating a balance between buyers and sellers.

Volume & Turnover

The highest volume spike occurred at 20:00 ET, when the price dropped to 0.0248, with over 1.3 million USDT traded. Despite the large volume, price did not continue lower, suggesting a short-covering rally. A later surge in turnover at 08:45 ET pushed the price to 0.02533, confirming the bullish momentum. A divergence between price and volume was observed at 02:00 ET, when the price broke above 0.02502 but with relatively low volume, signaling weak conviction behind the move.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the 15-minute swing from 0.02476 to 0.02544, the 0.382 level at 0.02516 and the 0.618 at 0.02530 coincided with multiple candle closures and reversal patterns. The price bounced off the 0.618 level at 0.02530 on two occasions, suggesting it may be a temporary ceiling before a potential test of 0.02544. On the daily chart, the 0.50 level at 0.02515 also acted as a pivot point for the past few days, with the current close at 0.02533 above it.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy described focuses on capturing short-term momentum using the combination of RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Band breakouts. Given the recent overbought conditions and strong MACD signals, a buy signal would have been triggered at 0.02515 with a stop loss below 0.02499 and a take profit target at 0.02530–0.02535. This aligns with the current Fibonacci structure and Bollinger Band expansion, suggesting that the setup has reasonable probabilistic support. However, a bearish reversal could occur if the price fails to hold above 0.02525 or if the RSI diverges again into oversold territory.
