Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart displayed a long consolidation period from 16:00 to 22:00 ET, where SUIUSD traded in a tight range around $3.2639. A bullish breakout occurred at 22:00 ET, forming a higher high and confirming a potential reversal pattern. This was followed by a small bearish rejection in the 02:45–03:00 ET candle, where a slight drop to $3.33 suggested initial profit-taking or testing of the new highs.

Moving Averages

Short-term momentum, as reflected in the 15-minute 20-period and 50-period moving averages, accelerated upward after the breakout. The 20 SMA crossed above the 50 SMA, signaling a potential golden cross for the short term. On the daily chart, SUIUSD closed above its 50-day and 100-day SMAs, indicating medium-term bullish momentum and a possible continuation of the upward trend.

MACD & RSI

The MACD for the 15-minute chart turned positive at 22:00 ET, aligning with the breakout in price. The histogram began to expand, suggesting increasing bullish momentum. The RSI reached a level of 68 by the close, indicating that SUIUSD is approaching overbought territory. A move above 70 could trigger a pullback or consolidation phase. These conditions suggest a continuation pattern in the short term, provided key resistance levels hold.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility was extremely low during the early hours of the session, with the Bollinger Bands compressed. This contraction suggested a potential breakout was imminent. Following the breakout after 22:00 ET, the bands expanded, and SUIUSD briefly traded above the upper band at $3.3252. The price then tested the upper band again and closed slightly within it. This pattern indicates strong conviction in the upward move, though a retest of the lower band may be needed for confirmation of a new trend.

Volume & Turnover

Volume remained nearly flat for the first half of the day, with most candles showing 0.0 volume. A significant volume spike of 82.1 occurred at 23:30 ET, followed by a smaller spike at 01:15 ET. Notional turnover mirrored this pattern, peaking at $274.60 at 01:15 ET. These spikes confirm the breakout and suggest strong buying interest in the late session. The divergence between low volume and high price movement early in the session was resolved with the later volume confirmation.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci levels to the recent 15-minute swing from $3.2639 to $3.33, the 38.2% retracement level sits at $3.30, and the 61.8% retracement is at $3.31. SUIUSD closed at $3.30, slightly below the 38.2% retracement level, suggesting a possible consolidation near this key psychological level. On the daily chart, a retracement of the prior swing high to low would suggest potential support near $3.2639 and resistance near $3.33. A close above $3.33 would validate a breakout of the Fibonacci ceiling.

Backtest Hypothesis

The MACD-Golden-Cross and 5-day-hold backtest strategy described earlier would align well with the price dynamics observed in SUIUSD over the 24-hour period. The golden cross formed on the 15-minute chart and the subsequent bullish momentum suggest that a similar strategy could have captured a portion of the late-session rally. However, the overbought RSI reading and the limited number of volume spikes may have introduced noise into the signal. For a successful backtest, the strategy should include filters such as a minimum volume threshold or a 15-minute confirmation candle to avoid false signals during periods of low volatility or liquidity. The 5-day-hold period may also be optimized to exit positions before overbought levels trigger a pullback.
