Structure & Formations

Price action over the 24-hour period displayed a key support at 0.002143 and a resistance at 0.002195. A bullish engulfing pattern was evident at 15:30 ET, as a large green candle consumed the prior red one, confirming a shift in sentiment. A doji near 0.002193 at 15:45 ET hinted at temporary indecision after the breakout.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, price closed above the 20-period (0.002192) and 50-period (0.002189) moving averages, indicating bullish momentum. For the daily chart, the 50-period and 200-period averages are not explicitly provided, but the 24-hour trend suggests a potential break of the 50-period daily MA.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed above zero during the 15:30–16:00 ET period, aligning with the bullish engulfing pattern. The RSI reached 68 by 15:30 ET, suggesting overbought conditions and a potential consolidation phase. Momentum appears to be waning slightly after the strong move.

Bollinger Bands

Price broke out above the upper Bollinger Band at 15:30 ET, indicating high volatility and aggressive buying. The band expansion was supported by increased turnover and volume, adding credibility to the move. Price is currently outside the upper band, pointing to a continuation or consolidation phase.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked at 15:30 ET with over 9.9 million contracts traded, and turnover hit 21.89 million, suggesting strong conviction in the upward move. A divergence between volume and price during the 16:15–16:45 ET window may signal a minor pullback. Divergences may indicate a need for caution in the near term.

Fibonacci Retracements

The 61.8% retracement level of the 0.002143–0.002206 move is at 0.002179. Price has not yet tested this level, but it may serve as a support for a potential pullback. For the daily chart, Fibonacci levels would need additional context to apply effectively.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy could focus on identifying and acting on bullish engulfing patterns, such as the one observed at 15:30 ET. Given the strong volume and turnover during that period, a long entry at the close of the engulfing candle may have yielded a favorable risk-reward ratio, with a stop-loss placed slightly below the pattern’s low and a target aligned with the 61.8% Fibonacci level.
