Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period SMAs moved in tandem with price after the breakout, showing strong alignment. The 50-period SMA crossed above the 20-period line, forming a bullish crossover. On the daily chart, the 50-period SMA is rising at ~1.238 and the 200-period SMA is at ~1.194, indicating a long-term bullish bias. Price is currently above all three key moving averages.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed above the zero line and showed a sharp positive divergence after the overnight breakout, confirming bullish momentum. The RSI reached 74 during the peak at 1.3728, signaling overbought conditions, but failed to trigger a sharp reversal. Instead, the RSI dipped to 58 during consolidation, suggesting that the bullish trend could continue for a short period.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded dramatically during the breakout at 1.265–1.3134, indicating increased volatility. Price has since traded within a slightly contracting band, currently sitting just above the upper band at 1.3005. The band width has stabilized, suggesting a potential pause in volatility, though the price remains above the midline, indicating sustained momentum.

Volume & Turnover

The largest single candle in terms of volume occurred at 14:45 ET, with 19,210,992.0 units traded and a high of 1.3728. This was followed by a pullback, though volume remained elevated above the 4.5 million average. Notional turnover also spiked at this point, confirming the strength of the breakout. No significant price-volume divergences were observed, suggesting continued conviction in the move higher.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci levels played a key role in the 24-hour action. The 61.8% level at 1.2921 became a strong support zone, while the 38.2% at 1.2760 provided a temporary floor during pullbacks. The 1.3134 high represents a 78.6% retracement from the 1.1842–1.3728 range and may serve as a short-term ceiling or pivot point.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy described involves entering long positions on a confirmed bullish engulfing pattern when it occurs above a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, with a stop loss below the engulfing pattern’s low and a target at 1.3134 (78.6% Fib). The overnight pattern at 1.2985–1.3101 aligns with these criteria, and a trade triggered at 1.2985 with a target at 1.3134 would have yielded a 1.45% gain within 45 minutes. This pattern is repeatable and suggests that LINEATRY may continue to trade within a structured Fibonacci channel.
