MACD showed a bullish crossover just after 20:00 ET, aligning with the price breakout from consolidation. Bollinger Bands expanded during the afternoon surge, reflecting increased volatility. The price closed near the upper band at 0.0271 for a brief period, but pulled back toward the middle band by the end of the session.

Volume spiked during the 19:30–20:00 ET rally, confirming the strength of the breakout. However, subsequent volume declined as the price consolidated, suggesting limited follow-through. Turnover diverged slightly during the late-night consolidation phase, hinting at potential exhaustion. A 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level aligned closely with the 0.0268–0.0269 range, which held during pullbacks.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy proposes entering a long position on FLMUSDT when the 20-period MA crosses above the 50-period MA (golden cross) and price breaks above the upper Bollinger Band, with a stop-loss placed below the nearest support level (0.0268). A target is set at the next Fibonacci resistance (0.0270–0.0272). During the 20:00–20:15 ET period, this setup occurred with confirmation from both the MA crossover and the breakout. A hypothetical trade based on this strategy would have captured part of the 0.0269 to 0.0271 move. However, the subsequent consolidation suggests the strategy may need a trailing stop or tighter exit criteria to optimize risk-reward for volatile altcoins like Flamingo.
