Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart shows a bullish reversal pattern forming after a sharp bearish decline at $236.10. A gravity reversal candle occurred at $236.10 to $237.10, followed by a series of higher highs and higher lows, suggesting a clear shift in sentiment. Resistance levels at $240, $245, and $247.80 were broken with confirmation from volume. A bullish engulfing pattern at $245.79 to $247.12 further supported the upward bias. Key support levels at $243.47 and $241.12 were tested but held.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20SMA and 50SMA crossed above $240, confirming the bullish trend. The 50EMA is currently at $244.33, and the 100EMA and 200EMA are at $240.22 and $238.99, respectively, showing that the 200-period average is lagging but aligning with the 100EMA. This supports a continuation of the upward trend, with the 200EMA potentially acting as a dynamic support zone in the near term.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed above the signal line around $245, confirming a momentum surge in the final 6 hours. The RSI moved into the 68–70 range, indicating overbought conditions, though not extreme. This suggests buyers are still in control, but caution is warranted if the RSI exceeds 75 without a clear move above $248. A RSI divergence has not yet appeared, which is a positive sign for the trend.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded as price moved above the $240 level, with the upper band at $247.50 and the lower band at $239.75. Price has been trading close to the upper band, suggesting high volatility and bullish pressure. A contraction in the bands is expected if the trend consolidates around $246–$248, which could precede a breakout or pullback.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked above $100M in notional turnover between 02:00 and 03:00 ET, confirming the $245–248 breakout. This was supported by a large volume bar at $247.81, showing institutional participation. A positive volume divergence is observed as price and volume both advanced in the final 8 hours. The turnover-to-volume ratio increased as price rose above $245, a sign of liquidity absorption by large participants.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci levels on the $235.73 to $247.81 swing are key:
- 38.2% = $243.25
- 50% = $241.77
- 61.8% = $240.29

Price tested and held above the 61.8% level, with a 61.8% retest at $240.29 failing as buyers re-entered. The next Fibonacci extension target is $249.70.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtest strategy involves entering long on a confirmed breakout above the 20SMA with a close above the upper Bollinger Band and a bullish engulfing pattern, with a stop below the 50SMA. A take-profit target could be the next Fibonacci extension at $249.70, or a 1:1 risk-to-reward from the 2025-09-14 02:00 ET breakout. This approach leverages confluence of multiple bullish signals and has shown historical success in high-volatility environments.
