Structure & Formations
The 24-hour OHLCV revealed a bullish divergence forming near the 3.15e-6 level, where price hit a low while volume remained elevated—suggesting accumulation. A bullish engulfing pattern was observed between 21:30–22:00 ET, with the candle engulfing the prior bearish body. This pattern, combined with a retracement to the 61.8% Fibonacci level of the earlier 3.33e-6 to 3.15e-6 swing, suggests a potential reversal. A key resistance level is forming at 3.33e-6, while support remains tested at 3.25e-6.
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, price traded above the 20-period and 50-period SMAs, indicating a potential short-term uptrend. The daily chart shows the 50-period SMA at 3.28e-6, with price above the 200-period SMA—suggesting a moderate bullish bias. The 100-period SMA is slightly above the 200-period, hinting at possible consolidation before a directional breakout.
MACD & RSI
The MACD turned positive in the final hours, with the line crossing above the signal line—suggesting a short-term bullish turn in momentum. The RSI reached oversold territory at ~28 before rallying, and is currently at ~52, indicating a neutral to mildly bullish environment. Divergence in RSI during the 3.15e-6 low suggests a potential bounce. Momentum appears to be favoring buyers but lacks strong conviction.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility expanded sharply after 15:00 ET, pushing the upper band to 3.46e-6 and the lower band to 3.15e-6. Price moved above the upper band in the last two hours, indicating overbought conditions and a breakout. The widening of the bands confirms increased market interest and potential continuation of the current trend.
Volume & Turnover
Volume surged in the 21:30–22:00 ET session and again around 15:00–16:00 ET, coinciding with key price levels. Notional turnover increased in line with volume during these periods, confirming the price action. A divergence was observed during the 3.15e-6 low, where price hit a new low but volume did not, suggesting potential capitulation.
Fibonacci Retracements
A 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the 3.33e-6 to 3.15e-6 swing occurred at 3.25e-6, where price found a brief rebound. The 38.2% level (3.29e-6) is also showing signs of support. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement of the prior bearish move aligns with the 3.33e-6 level, which appears to be consolidating as a key turning point.
Backtest Hypothesis
A backtesting strategy based on bullish engulfing patterns and RSI divergence could have captured the rebound from the 3.15e-6 low. For example, a long entry on a close above 3.19e-6, with a stop at 3.15e-6 and a take-profit at 3.33e-6, would align with the observed price behavior. This setup, combined with a 20/50 MA crossover, would have provided a high-probability entry with defined risk. Backtesting this combination over a 30-day period could validate its robustness across different volatility conditions.
