Structure & Formations

Price action showed a clear bullish shift starting around 19:30 ET on 2025-10-09, with a bullish engulfing pattern forming above a key resistance level of 0.1518. A strong bullish trend followed, with the pair pushing past 0.1540 into the early hours of October 10. A notable bearish reversal candle formed at 06:45 ET, suggesting some profit-taking, but this was quickly absorbed by buyers. A long lower shadow at 08:00 ET signaled renewed buying pressure, with price finding support near 0.1532.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA acted as dynamic support, rising through the session as price climbed. The 50-period MA lagged but crossed above 0.1500 by 06:00 ET, reinforcing a bullish bias. On the daily chart, the 50- and 100-period MAs crossed in a “golden cross” setup earlier in the month, now acting as a key bullish backdrop. The 200-period MA remains below current levels, suggesting the trend remains intact.

MACD & RSI

MACD remained positive throughout the morning of October 10, with the histogram expanding during the breakout phase. RSI peaked at 62 during the afternoon, indicating moderate bullish momentum. However, a bearish divergence formed between the price and RSI after 15:00 ET, hinting at possible overbought conditions. MACD flattened by 16:00 ET, signaling a potential near-term pause in the rally.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly in the morning as price moved beyond the upper band, peaking at 0.1591. The lower band sat near 0.1498, where the pair found support multiple times. Price closed near the upper band of the Bollinger Bands, suggesting the upward move could continue but with a risk of pullback.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged during the breakout, with a large 15-minute candle at 04:45 ET contributing $33,991.49 in turnover. Turnover peaked at $98,463.68 at 16:00 ET, confirming strong institutional participation. Volume declined in the final hours, suggesting consolidation rather than a reversal. Divergence between rising price and declining volume after 15:00 ET may point to a pause in the bullish momentum.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the key swing low at 0.1494 and swing high at 0.1591, the 61.8% level is at 0.1554, and the 38.2% level is at 0.1539. Price has already broken above the 38.2% level and is approaching the 61.8% area, which could provide near-term resistance. On the daily chart, a retracement from a monthly swing high to a recent low places 0.1530–0.1535 as a key area to watch for support.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy involves entering a long position at the close of a bullish engulfing pattern forming above a key resistance level, such as 0.1518 observed on October 9 at 19:30 ET. A stop-loss is placed below the most recent swing low, and a take-profit is set at the 38.2% Fibonacci level or the upper Bollinger Band. This setup aligns with the observed price behavior, where the pair successfully broke above key levels with strong volume confirmation. The strategy would aim to capture a retracement within a bullish trend, with the RSI and MACD providing early signs of strength and divergence as a cautionary signal.
