Structure & Formations

Price found significant support at the 0.1033 (61.8% Fib) level during the overnight session and formed a bullish reversal candle on the 15-minute chart at 18:00 ET. A large bullish engulfing pattern formed between 18:00 and 18:15 ET, signaling a short-covering rally after a morning downtrend. A doji at 02:15 ET and another at 06:45 ET indicated indecision during key price pulls. The 0.1048–0.1055 range appears to be a new psychological resistance zone.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, price closed above the 20-period and 50-period EMA lines, both of which trended higher in the final 6 hours. The 50 EMA is currently at 0.1047, slightly below the close. On the daily chart, the 50-period and 200-period EMAs are converging, with the 50 EMA above the 200 EMA, suggesting a potential continuation of the bullish trend.

MACD & RSI

The RSI climbed above 70 in the last 2 hours of the session, suggesting overbought conditions, but no immediate reversal followed. The MACD crossed above the signal line at 19:00 ET, confirming the strength of the upward move. Positive momentum remains intact despite the overbought level, which may delay a pullback. Divergence between price and RSI at 01:30–02:30 ET hinted at a short-term reversal that was confirmed by the subsequent rebound.

Bollinger Bands & Volatility

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly after 18:00 ET, with price moving near the upper band for three consecutive 15-minute candles. Volatility increased as a result of the large-volume breakout above 0.1062. The narrow band contraction between 14:00 and 16:00 ET preceded this breakout and served as a signal for potential momentum. Price appears to be entering a phase of higher volatility and extended range.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked at 18:00 and 21:30 ET, both aligning with key price levels. The highest notional turnover occurred between 00:15 and 00:30 ET, coinciding with the 0.1071–0.1076 high. Turnover diverged slightly at 04:15 and 06:30 ET, where volume was high but price movement was minimal, hinting at possible order book imbalances or accumulation/distribution activity. No major divergence was observed in the final 4 hours of the session.

Fibonacci Retracements

The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at 0.1033 held during the overnight dip, preventing further downside. Price later retested this level and broke out to the upside, confirming its importance. On the daily chart, the 50% retracement of the previous month’s range is at 0.1045, which appears to be a key pivot level for near-term direction.

Backtest Hypothesis

The RSI overbought strategy outlined can be effectively applied to ONTUSDT, using daily bars for position entries and exits. A 14-period RSI with an overbought threshold at 70 aligns with the recent price action, where RSI crossed into overbought territory without immediate reversal. For exit rules, the “next support level” can be defined as the most recent 20-day swing low, which in this case would be 0.1033. Position management can be set to equal weight per trade to maintain consistency in testing. A backtest from 2022-01-01 to today would help evaluate the performance of this strategy in both trending and ranging environments.
