Structure & Formations
The 15-minute chart revealed a strong bullish reversal pattern after a key breakdown attempt at ~13.94. A bullish engulfing pattern formed at 21:45 ET, followed by a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at ~14.30 acting as a pivot point. A strong breakout above 14.40 occurred during the 08:00–09:00 ET period, with price forming a strong green candle that closed at 14.49, the highest of the day.
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA crossed above the 50-period MA, confirming a short-term bullish bias. For the daily chart (using 1-hour OHLCV), the 50-period MA is above the 100 and 200-period MAs, suggesting a continuation of the upward trend into the next 24 hours.
MACD & RSI
The 15-minute MACD turned positive and showed bullish divergence in the late hours of 2025-09-05, with the histogram expanding from ~0.12 to ~0.28. RSI reached 70+ levels by 08:00 ET, indicating overbought conditions. The RSI then corrected to ~58 by 15:00 ET, showing signs of a potential pullback.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility expanded during the 08:00–10:00 ET period, pushing prices outside the upper band. This expansion coincided with a sharp increase in volume and price. Price re-entered the band by 15:00 ET, with a contraction forming by 16:00 ET, suggesting a potential consolidation phase.
Volume & Turnover
Volume surged at key price levels during the 08:00–10:00 ET period, with a total volume spike of ~250 units around the 14.49 high. Notional turnover confirmed the price action during the breakout, but a divergence appeared after the 14:30 ET peak, as price continued upward while turnover remained flat. This may indicate a possible exhaustion in the rally.
Fibonacci Retracements
The 38.2% and 61.8% levels between 13.86 and 14.49 acted as both support and resistance during consolidation. Price found support at 61.8% (~14.30) during the 14:00–15:00 ET period and then pushed back above 14.40, confirming the pattern’s validity.
Backtest Hypothesis
A potential backtesting strategy could involve entering a long position on a bullish engulfing pattern confirmation and setting a stop loss just below the 13.94 support level, with a target at the 61.8% Fibonacci extension (~14.50). This would align with the momentum seen in the MACD and RSI readings during the 08:00–10:00 ET period, which suggest strong conviction in the rally. The
Band contraction following the breakout adds a layer of confirmation to the trade setup.
