Price action revealed a structurally balanced session with defined support around 0.00556 and resistance at 0.00572. A bullish engulfing pattern occurred briefly near 0.00563–0.00566 between 06:00–08:00 ET, but it failed to sustain above the key 0.00572 level. On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period SMA hovered above the 50-period line, indicating moderate upward bias.

The 20/50 EMA crossover remained bullish throughout the session, though the signal was not strong enough to push through resistance. MACD displayed a positive but fading trend, with RSI oscillating between 45–55, suggesting no extreme momentum. The price often stayed in the middle third of the Bollinger Bands, signaling low volatility.

Fibonacci retracement levels from the 0.00556–0.00573 range revealed key psychological thresholds at 0.00563 (38.2%) and 0.00567 (61.8%). The price frequently bounced off the 0.00563–0.00567 range, indicating a possible accumulation phase.

Looking ahead, price could attempt a breakout above 0.00572 or test support at 0.00556, but a sideways consolidation is equally likely. Investors should be cautious of low conviction signals and limited volatility.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtest would aim to evaluate the effectiveness of a breakout and reversal-based trading strategy on the PONDUSDT pair using the 15-minute OHLCV data. Resistance and support levels identified in the analysis—0.00572 and 0.00556 respectively—can serve as trigger points for long and short entries. A fixed holding window of 5–10 trading days or a reversal rule (e.g., exiting a long position when price falls back below support) could be tested as exit strategies. A stop-loss at 0.00560 and take-profit at 0.00575 could also be used to manage risk and reward. Given the limited volatility observed in the 24-hour period, a strategy backtest using a 5-day holding rule with stop-loss and take-profit levels seems most appropriate. This approach aligns with the current market structure and allows for a robust statistical evaluation of the system’s performance under recent conditions.
