A doji appeared near the 24-hour high, indicating indecision and potential short-term exhaustion. The 1.995 high served as a psychological ceiling, while the 1.65–1.67 zone acted as a critical support cluster.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages crossed above key support levels, confirming the bullish bias. The daily chart showed the 50-period moving average crossing the 200-period line to the upside, indicating a long-term bullish trend. The 100-period line acted as a minor resistance in the afternoon, but the price broke through it decisively.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line turned sharply upward in the late morning, showing a surge in bullish momentum. RSI hit overbought territory during the breakout to $1.995, but the divergence between price and RSI was not significant, suggesting continuation rather than exhaustion. The RSI remains above 55, indicating strong positive momentum.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility increased sharply after midday, with the upper band expanding from $1.80 to $1.995. The price remained near the upper band during the breakout phase, confirming high volatility. The lower band remained stable around $1.64–1.66, acting as a firm support floor. The bands are now wide, suggesting a potential consolidation phase ahead.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked significantly during the breakout phase, with the highest turnover occurring between 14:30 and 16:00 ET, where the price surged from $1.912 to $1.995. Volume in the final 4 hours was 44% of the total 24-hour volume, aligning with the sharp price increase. There was no major divergence between price and volume during the move, indicating strong institutional or large-cap investor support.

Fibonacci Retracements

The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $1.822 acted as a strong support during the afternoon consolidation phase. The 38.2% level at $1.974 served as a resistance cap before the breakout to the high. On the daily chart, the 50% and 61.8% retracement levels from the previous bearish leg remain key watchpoints for potential pullbacks.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy described assumes a breakout-based approach, entering long on a close above a dynamic support level confirmed by a bullish engulfing pattern and positive MACD crossover. For Morpho/Tether on 2025-10-12, this condition was met at $1.912–$1.962, with the price moving decisively above the upper Bollinger Band and closing near the 24-hour high. A stop-loss at the 1.822 Fibonacci level and a take-profit near the 1.995 high would have captured most of the move. The strategy aligns well with the observed structure and volume dynamics, suggesting it could be effective for similar patterns in high-liquidity assets.
