Structure & Formations

POLUSDT showed a strong bullish trend early in the session, breaking above key resistance levels around $0.2231 and $0.2239. A strong white candle at $0.2239 and a bullish engulfing pattern confirmed the move. A minor pullback after 10:30 ET saw POLUSDT test the $0.2226 support level, where it found buying interest. A bearish doji near $0.2235 suggests short-term indecision. Key support levels to watch include $0.2218 and $0.2202, while resistance is likely to retest $0.2249.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20- and 50-period moving averages are rising, supporting the bullish trend. The 50-period line is currently at $0.2227, and the 20-period at $0.2233, indicating continued short-term strength. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA is near $0.2205 and the 200-period at $0.2197, suggesting the uptrend remains intact with limited bearish pressure from long-term indicators.

MACD & RSI

The MACD turned bullish early in the session, with the signal line crossing above the MACD line and maintaining positive territory. RSI peaked at 72, entering overbought territory, suggesting possible pullbacks. However, divergence between RSI and price action was not observed, indicating strength in the rally. Momentum remains favorable for further gains in the near term.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly during the breakout phase, with the upper band reaching $0.2249. Price action remained well above the 20-period moving average and within the upper band, indicating strong bullish momentum. A narrowing of the bands after 10:30 ET suggests a consolidation phase. If the $0.2218 level holds, the lower band may become support, potentially setting the stage for a new breakout.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the early hours of the rally, with a peak of 1.6 million units at $0.2222. Turnover also aligned with price action, peaking at $405,592.6 during the rally to $0.2239. No significant divergence between volume and price was observed, suggesting accumulation by longs. A decline in volume during the consolidation phase suggests temporary profit-taking rather than bearish sentiment.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the key swing from $0.2187 to $0.2249, the 38.2% and 61.8% retracement levels are at $0.2228 and $0.2213, respectively. Price has tested the 38.2% level twice and is currently consolidating around that area. A break above $0.2239 could target $0.2249, the prior high, while a drop below $0.2213 would suggest a deeper correction toward $0.2197.

Backtest Hypothesis

The provided backtest strategy focuses on entering long positions on 15-minute candles that form bullish engulfing patterns above key moving averages, with stop-loss placed below the candle’s low and take-profit at the 1:1 risk-reward level. This aligns well with today’s price action, where a bullish engulfing pattern at $0.2239 was followed by a consolidation phase. A backtest over the past 30 days would help assess the robustness of this strategy in varying market conditions. Given the alignment of volume and price action today, this setup appears to be high-probability for traders seeking short-term directional bias.
