A doji was observed at the 9:00 AM ET print near 0.0291, signaling indecision. Key support levels include 0.02898 and 0.02890, while resistance is forming at 0.0293 and 0.0294.

Moving Averages and Momentum

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA is trending upward, crossing above the 50-period MA in a golden cross pattern, indicating short-term bullish momentum. The 50/100/200-day MA structure on the daily chart remains bullish, with SOPHUSDT trading above all. RSI hovers near 55, showing moderate momentum, while MACD suggests a bullish crossover occurred but may be diverging as price stalls.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Volatility has been moderate to high, with SOPHUSDT fluctuating within the Bollinger Bands between 0.0294 (upper) and 0.0288 (lower). A recent narrowing of the bands suggests a period of consolidation, which could precede a breakout. The current price is comfortably within the band and appears to be testing the 20-period MA as dynamic support.

Fibonacci Retracements and Turnover Divergences

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the recent swing high (0.0294) and swing low (0.0288), key levels include 38.2% at 0.0291 and 61.8% at 0.02897. Price has tested both levels with mixed results, indicating a potential accumulation phase. A large volume spike at 7:00 AM ET coincided with a price rejection from the 0.0291 level, indicating a short-term overbought condition.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy involves entering a long position on SOPHUSDT when the 20-period MA crosses above the 50-period MA, confirmed by a bullish engulfing pattern on the 15-minute chart, and closing the position when RSI exceeds 65 or when price falls below the 38.2% Fibonacci level. Stops would be placed below the 61.8% Fib level, with targets near the 50-period MA on the daily chart. Given the current setup, this strategy would have entered a long near 0.0291 and exited at 0.0293–0.0294, resulting in a positive return in the short term, though risks remain if the 0.02898 level breaks.
