A series of bullish engulfing patterns appeared between 02:00 and 03:00 ET, confirming renewed buying interest.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute timeframe, price closed above both the 20SMA and 50SMA, signaling short-term bullish momentum. The 50SMA is currently at $13.25 and trending upward, with the 200SMA acting as a critical support level near $12.30. On the daily chart, the 50DMA is at $13.50 and appears to be acting as a dynamic support.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed above the signal line at around 06:00 ET, confirming a bullish signal. The histogram has remained positive for the last 8 hours, suggesting sustained buying pressure. The RSI stands at ~78, indicating overbought conditions and a potential short-term pullback. A RSI drop below 60 could signal a temporary pause in the upward move.

Bollinger Bands

Price has tested and briefly touched the upper Bollinger Band at $14.32, indicating a period of high volatility. The bands have been expanding since 09:00 ET, suggesting a continuation of the trend. If price breaks below the lower band at $12.50, it could trigger a retest of key support levels.

Volume & Turnover

Volume has surged in the last 6 hours, with a notable spike in the final hour before 12:00 ET. Notional turnover also spiked above $300,000 between 16:00 and 17:00 ET, aligning with the sharp price rise. The volume-to-price divergence observed in the last 20 minutes suggests a possible short-term pullback ahead.

Fibonacci Retracements

Recent 15-minute swings show price at ~78.6% of the Fibonacci retracement level from the $12.31 low to the $14.32 high. Daily-level retracements suggest potential support at $13.70 (38.2%) and $13.45 (61.8%). A move below $13.45 could target $13.0 as the next Fibonacci level.

Backtest Hypothesis

To validate the technical signals identified in this report, a MACD-based backtest strategy is proposed. Using the MACD golden and death cross events (when the MACD line crosses above or below the signal line), the strategy would enter long positions on a golden cross and close or reverse on a death cross. Given the recent bullish divergence and strong volume, this strategy could be tested from 2022-01-01 to present using the ENSUSDT price series.
