Powerledger/Tether (POWRUSDT) opened at 0.0934 (12:00 ET – 1), hit a high of 0.1059, and closed at 0.1053 (12:00 ET). The 24-hour total volume amounted to 3,032,623.0 with a turnover of $306,683. Price action showed a clear upward bias, supported by increasing buying pressure in the final hours of the session.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart were decisively breached to the upside, signaling a short-term bullish trend. Price action displayed a few key candlestick formations, including a bullish engulfing pattern at 0.0952–0.0956 and a continuation of strong body candles after 16:30 ET. No decisive bearish reversal patterns were observed. Resistance levels formed at 0.0960 and 0.1000, while a support level was tested at 0.0985.

MACD crossed into positive territory, with a growing histogram indicating accelerating momentum. RSI hit 72 at one point, signaling overbought conditions. The 14-period RSI trended upward throughout the day, suggesting buyers remain in control. Bollinger Bands widened significantly in the final hours, showing heightened volatility. Price remained near the upper band, indicating a strong continuation bias but also a potential correction risk if buyers pause.

Volume was unevenly distributed, with large spikes near the high of the session (0.1059) and during a consolidation period from 10:00 to 11:00 ET. Notional turnover also spiked during these periods, confirming strong participation. A divergence between price and volume was observed briefly during the 09:30–10:15 ET window, where price dipped slightly while volume remained steady—suggesting a potential short-term pause.

Fibonacci retracement levels of the key 15-minute swing from 0.0963 to 0.1059 highlighted 0.1028 (38.2%) and 0.0994 (61.8%) as critical psychological levels. Price hovered around 0.1021 in the final 15-minute candle, near the 38.2% retracement level, suggesting a possible pause ahead of a test of the 0.1059 high.

For the next 24 hours, buyers will likely test 0.1059–0.1070 for a breakout or continuation. A pullback to the 0.0983–0.0994 range could test the strength of the bullish trend. Investors should watch for a weakening in the RSI and volume for early caution signals.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy described exploits key bullish candlestick patterns (Bullish Engulfing) and RSI as an exit signal, leveraging the observed price and momentum dynamics in this session. During the 24-hour period, a few Bullish Engulfing patterns were visible, most notably at 0.0952–0.0956 and 0.0981–0.0983. These setups could serve as candidate entry points. The RSI reached overbought territory multiple times, including a peak of 72, which aligns with the exit condition of closing the trade when RSI ≥ 70. This strategy would likely have captured the upward surge from 0.0963 to 0.1059 over the 24-hour period. However, it would have also exposed investors to the brief volatility seen during the 09:30–10:15 ET consolidation phase, where the divergence between volume and price suggested a possible pause. Further refinement could include adding a trailing stop or time-based exit rules to manage risk more effectively.
