Moving Averages

MACD and RSI
MACD turned positive and showed increasing histogram bars during the midday rally, confirming bullish momentum. RSI surged into overbought territory above 70 during the 10:45–11:15 ET window, suggesting potential near-term exhaustion or continuation, depending on volume.

Bollinger Bands tightened before the breakout, indicating a contraction in volatility and potential for a move. After the sharp rally, price closed just below the upper band at 0.0265, suggesting the move remains intact but with some consolidation expected.
Volume and Turnover
Volume peaked at 15.48 million during the breakout phase, with turnover reaching $419,459.96 at 10:45 ET, confirming the strength of the move. A divergence between volume and price could signal a potential pullback, but so far, volume has supported the rally.

Looking ahead, STRAXUSDT appears poised to test 0.0268 resistance over the next 24 hours, with a pullback to 0.0259 as a possible near-term risk. Investors should monitor volume divergence and RSI behavior for early signs of topping.
