Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, price closed above both the 20 (0.02563) and 50 (0.02559) SMAs, indicating a bullish bias. The 50 SMA is now acting as dynamic support. On the daily chart, price is above the 50 (0.02558) and 100 (0.02547) SMAs, but the 200 SMA at 0.02534 remains a critical long-term support level.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed above the signal line (0.000035) with positive divergence, confirming bullish momentum. RSI stands at 56, indicating moderate strength but not overbought conditions. The oscillator shows a 30-point RSI increase in the last 6 hours, suggesting a potential for further consolidation before a breakout attempt.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly in the early hours of October 3, with the upper band reaching 0.02605 and the lower band at 0.02532. Price tested the upper band at 0.02605 twice and pulled back, but held above the 0.02580 level. The mid-band currently sits at 0.02569, and price remains above it, indicating strong bullish bias.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked to 1,040,840.20 USDT at 00:15 on October 3 and remained above average throughout the day. Notional turnover increased by 22% in the final 6 hours, confirming price action. However, a divergence appeared between price and volume during the 02:00–04:00 window, where price declined but volume increased, suggesting possible accumulation by large players.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the swing high (0.02605) and low (0.02532), key levels to watch are 38.2% at 0.02575 and 61.8% at 0.02559. Price has tested and held above both levels, suggesting a potential for a push toward 0.02590 in the short term. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement is at 0.02568, with the 61.8% at 0.02553.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtest strategy involves using a 50-period EMA crossover with RSI above 50 as entry signals, and stop-loss placement below key Fibonacci support levels. Given the current setup—price above the 50 SMA, RSI rising, and volume confirming bullish action—this strategy may capture short-term upside while managing risk on a pullback. Testing this over the past 30 days could confirm its effectiveness in low-volatility environments like the one observed.
