Structure and Formations
The 24-hour chart revealed a textbook bullish breakout from a descending triangle pattern, with the 5,500–5,600 range acting as a significant support-turned-resistance. Key resistance levels appeared at 6,000 and 6,400, both of which were successfully cleared. A long-bodied bullish candle at 05:00 ET indicated a decisive shift in sentiment. The pattern was further confirmed by a strong continuation of price action above the breakout level, suggesting ongoing bullish momentum.

Support and Resistance Levels

Key support levels observed during the session included 5,400 and 5,250, both of which were tested but held. Resistance levels at 6,000 and 6,400 were successfully breached. A potential consolidation zone appears between 6,500 and 6,650, with the 6,700 level acting as a critical psychological barrier.

Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average crossed above the 50-period line, indicating a short-term bullish bias. On the daily chart, the price closed above both the 50 and 200-period moving averages, reinforcing the strength of the uptrend. The 100-period moving average now sits at 6,250, suggesting that the 6,400–6,500 range is now firmly in bull control.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded as volatility increased after the 05:00 ET breakout. The price remained above the upper band for several hours, indicating strong buying pressure. A contraction in the bands occurred before the breakout, acting as a potential precursor to a sharp move. The current wide band structure suggests the market may consolidate in the near term.

MACD & RSI
The MACD histogram showed a positive divergence as price and momentum aligned, with the line crossing above the signal line in the morning. RSI reached 72 by 07:00 ET, entering overbought territory. While overbought conditions may not immediately reverse the trend, they suggest a potential pullback could be in the near future. A bearish divergence in the RSI line was not observed, indicating that bullish momentum remains intact for now.

Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci levels to the 5,388–6,771 move, the 38.2% level at 6,062 and the 61.8% level at 6,381 were both successfully reached. Price currently sits just below the 76.4% extension at 6,683. A pullback to the 50% retracement level at 6,230 could provide a potential entry point for longs.

Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked significantly in the early morning hours following the breakout, confirming the strength of the move. The notional turnover reached $45 million, with volume peaking at 9,241 units during the 05:00–05:15 ET bar. No notable divergence between price and volume was observed, suggesting the move is being supported by genuine buying interest.

Backtest Hypothesis
A potential backtest strategy could focus on capturing the momentum following confirmed bullish breakouts, using the 15-minute chart to identify Golden Crosses between the 20 and 50-period moving averages. Given the sharp upward move observed in this session, identifying all Golden Cross events since 2022-01-01 for GIGGLETRY would provide a foundation for a rules-based momentum strategy. Once confirmed, the strategy could evaluate entry and exit triggers based on RSI overbought conditions and Fibonacci retracement levels.
