Offcial-trump (TRUMPUSD) opened at $8.47 (12:00 ET − 1) and surged to a 24-hour high of $9.16 before closing at $9.07 at 12:00 ET. Total volume traded was 552.237 units, and notional turnover reached $4,920.95. The price displayed sharp bullish momentum, followed by consolidation and a partial pullback.
Structure & Formations
The 24-hour chart shows a distinct V-shaped recovery from $8.43 to $9.16, with the first 6 hours (0500–1100 ET) witnessing aggressive bullish action. A bearish engulfing pattern at $9.03–$9.07 emerged at 1030–1045 ET, followed by a doji at $8.96, signaling a potential shift in sentiment. The price found temporary support at $8.51, coinciding with a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the earlier rally.
Moving Averages
Short-term averages (20/50-period 15-min) closely followed the price action, with the 50-period line acting as a dynamic support during the consolidation phase. Daily moving averages (50/100/200) show a bullish setup, with the 50-day line trending upward and the 200-day lagging but trending higher.
Backtest Hypothesis
A backtest strategy could involve entering long positions when the 15-minute 20SMA crosses above 50SMA, confirming momentum from above the 50-day MA, and RSI remains above 50. Exits would be triggered on bearish engulfing patterns and RSI overbought levels (>70). Given the high volatility and clear support/resistance levels, this could be a viable short-term approach for traders with a directional bias.
MACD & RSI
The MACD histogram showed a strong positive divergence in the 0600–0800 ET window, confirming the bullish breakout. However, the RSI spiked above 75, signaling overbought conditions by 0800 ET. A sharp RSI decline followed the bearish engulfing pattern at 1030 ET, reinforcing the short-term bearish shift. Momentum remains mixed, with strong short-term bullish energy followed by immediate bearish correction.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility expanded significantly during the 0645–0815 ET window, with price reaching the upper band at $9.16 before a pullback. By 1100 ET, the bands had contracted again, suggesting potential consolidation. Price has since hovered near the mid-band, indicating indecision.
Volume & Turnover
Volume surged in two key waves: a massive 155.705 units at 0730–0745 ET (closing at $8.94), and another 456.522 units at 1445 ET, which coincided with a close at $8.51. Notional turnover was highest during the bullish breakout, but volume diverged from price during the 1030–1100 ET correction. This suggests some profit-taking and cautious sentiment.
Fibonacci Retracements
The key 38.2% retracement level at $8.72 and the 61.8% at $8.51 played critical roles. The price tested $8.72 twice and found support at $8.51, suggesting that these levels are becoming psychological barriers. A breakdown below $8.51 could extend the next Fibonacci target to $8.35.
Looking ahead, the next 24 hours could see a test of the $9.16 high with continued bullish momentum or a pullback toward the $8.72 level. Traders should watch for a potential retest of key support and resistance levels, with overbought RSI levels and bearish candlestick formations signaling caution. As always, high volatility brings high reward but also increased risk.
