The structure of the last 24 hours reveals a key bullish pattern: a large engulfing candle on 2025-10-17 at 17:15 ET, where price surged from $0.000766 to $0.000807. This is a strong reversal signal on the daily chart. Resistance levels appear at $0.000728 and $0.000807, with the latter being a recent high. Support levels are at $0.000690 and $0.000675, with the former acting as a short-term floor for now. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart are converging upward, suggesting continued bullish bias.

MACD turned positive around 17:15 ET, with a histogram expansion suggesting increasing bullish momentum. RSI, at 58, shows rising strength but not overbought conditions. Bollinger Bands have expanded significantly in the last 6 hours, indicating a period of high volatility. Price has been trading near the upper band in the last 4 hours, which could either indicate continuation or exhaustion. The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent swing from $0.000655 to $0.000807 is at $0.000734, and price appears to be consolidating near this area with some bearish rejection at $0.000728.

Volume spiked at $0.000707 (17:45 ET) and again at $0.000692 (20:30 ET), confirming key support levels. However, volume has decreased slightly in the last 2 hours, which could indicate short-term consolidation. Notional turnover aligns with volume in the breakout phase, suggesting strong buyer participation. Divergences between price and volume have not been observed, so the current trend appears to be well-supported. The next 24 hours will likely test the $0.000807 level as a key resistance. If volume picks up again, this could signal a breakout, but a pullback to the 50-period MA at $0.000695 is also possible.

The backtest hypothesis described involves identifying and acting on Bullish Engulfing patterns for HOTUSDT since 2022. While historical daily data for this pair is currently unavailable, the 24-hour OHLCV data provides a strong candidate pattern in the form of the 17:15 ET engulfing candle on 2025-10-17. This formation aligns with the criteria for a Bullish Engulfing pattern (large bullish candle following a bearish one), and the subsequent price action has confirmed it. If this pattern can be systematically identified using daily data, it could form the basis of a rules-based strategy using entry at the close of the engulfing candle, a target at the 61.8% Fibonacci level, and a stop-loss at the prior swing low.

Given the technical indicators—MACD and RSI—suggesting rising momentum and the structure indicating strong support—this pattern may have historically yielded positive outcomes in similar conditions. However, a comprehensive backtest is required to assess performance over multiple cycles. Should daily data for HOTUSDT become available, a full backtest could be run with this strategy.
