The Optimism/Tether (OPUSDT) pair opened at $0.7151 on 2025-10-02 at 12:00 ET and reached a high of $0.7478, before closing at $0.7465 on 2025-10-03 at 12:00 ET. Total volume for the 24-hour period was 28,592,420.13, with a notional turnover of $21,432,415.87. The price action reflected strong bullish momentum through the day, with key resistance levels holding and volume increasing in key bullish phases.

Over the past 24 hours, OPUSDT displayed several key support and resistance levels. The 0.725–0.730 cluster acted as initial support, while resistance formed around the 0.740–0.745 range. On the 15-minute chart, bullish engulfing patterns appeared at key entry points, especially around 03:15 and 05:45 ET. A notable doji formed at 12:45 ET, indicating indecision ahead of a potential breakout. These patterns suggest that the bullish trend could continue if the 0.7478 high is broken decisively with increased volume.

Moving averages showed a strong bullish bias. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart remained below the price, supporting a continuation of the uptrend. On the daily chart, the 50/100/200 MA structure showed the 50-day line cutting above the 100-day line, reinforcing a medium-term bullish bias. The price remains above the 200-day MA, suggesting a strong foundation for further gains. However, a close below the 50-day MA could trigger a short-term pullback.

MACD lines remained above the signal line for much of the session, reflecting sustained positive momentum. RSI briefly entered overbought territory multiple times, especially after the 0.7478 high was reached, indicating potential for a correction or consolidation. Bollinger Bands reflected an expansion in volatility during the afternoon and evening hours, with price staying within the upper band for most of the session. The final 15-minute candle closed near the lower band, suggesting a possible reversal or continuation depending on volume confirmation.

Bollinger Band volatility expansion coincided with key bullish volume spikes, particularly between 15:00 and 19:00 ET. The notional turnover increased by over 30% in this period, confirming the price movement. A divergence appeared between the final 15-minute candle and the RSI, which closed near overbought levels while price closed lower. This could indicate a short-term profit-taking move. However, the overall volume profile remains bullish, with no significant bearish divergence across the 24-hour period.

Fibonacci retracement levels were applied to the recent 15-minute swing from 0.7151 to 0.7478. The 0.735–0.736 zone corresponded to the 38.2% retracement level and acted as strong support. The 61.8% retracement level is near 0.732–0.733, which appears to be a key area for potential consolidation. Daily Fibonacci levels also showed the 0.740–0.742 zone as a critical area for continuation or reversal, depending on volume behavior.

Backtest Hypothesis

Using the technical indicators and patterns identified in this report—namely the bullish engulfing formations, RSI overbought signals, and the 20/50 EMA crossover—a backtest strategy could be designed to enter long positions on a close above key resistance levels (0.740 and 0.745) with a stop-loss below the 0.732 Fibonacci level. A take-profit target could be placed at the 1.272 extension level near 0.755–0.760, using the 0.7151–0.7478 swing as a reference. The MACD and RSI would be used to confirm momentum and entry timing, while Bollinger Band breakouts would serve as volatility triggers for trade activation. This strategy would aim to capture continuation moves in a strong bullish trend with defined risk and reward parameters.
