Structure & Formations
Price action formed a bullish reversal pattern after a strong bearish leg from $5.81 into oversold RSI territory (~25). A bearish engulfing pattern followed by a bullish morning star near $5.50–5.56 suggests potential consolidation. Key support levels include $5.56 (tested twice), $5.47 (Fib 61.8%), and $5.40 (lower Bollinger Band). Resistance clusters at $5.62–5.65 (50-period SMA) and $5.68–5.70 (recent highs).
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, LPTUSDT closed below the 20 and 50-period SMAs at ~$5.62 and $5.56 respectively, but remains above the 50-period daily SMA (~$5.58). The 100-period SMA (~$5.54) now appears to be acting as dynamic support. The 200-period SMA (~$5.50) could be a critical psychological level if the pullback continues.
MACD & RSI
RSI bottomed near 25, signaling a potential oversold bounce. The MACD line crossed above the signal line during a pullback near $5.52, suggesting a short-term bullish
reversal. However, the histogram remains bearish, indicating bearish continuation pressure is still present in the near term.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility expanded as price moved from the upper to the lower Bollinger Band over the 24-hour period. Current price (~$5.41) sits near the lower band at ~$5.36–5.48, indicating a high volatility environment. A retest of the upper band at ~$5.65 could confirm a mean-reversion trade.
Volume & Turnover
Volume and turnover spiked during the $5.81 high and again during the $5.40 low. A divergence in turnover (declining as price declined) suggests potential capitulation. The $5.50–5.62 range saw consistent volume, suggesting it is a key area to watch for continuation or reversal.
Fibonacci Retracements
Fibonacci levels derived from the recent $5.38–5.70 swing highlight key 5.47 (61.8%), 5.56 (50%), and 5.63 (38.2%) levels. Price is currently consolidating near 61.8% Fib, which may act as a pivot point for the next 48 hours.
Backtest Hypothesis
The current technical setup resembles a potential bullish continuation pattern, especially with the RSI bottoming and volume confirming the recent support. A simple backtesting hypothesis would be to enter a long position on a close above $5.56 (50-period SMA), with a stop-loss below $5.47 and a target at $5.68 (prior high and 38.2% Fib). This aligns with the morning star and bullish reversal structure observed. The challenge will be whether volume and momentum can sustain the move above key resistance.
