The price action reflects strong institutional buying after midnight, with a total traded volume of 18,946.5 units and a notional turnover of approximately $60,252 (at average $3.18). The 24-hour candle shows a long upper wick and tight consolidation near key resistance levels, suggesting a potential pause in momentum.

The 15-minute chart reveals a clear bullish trend, with price consistently above the 20-period and 50-period moving averages. Notable candlestick formations include a bullish engulfing pattern at $2.698–$2.761, followed by a sharp rise and a continuation with high-volume support after $2.900. The 20-period EMA is currently at $3.13, and the 50-period EMA at $3.105, with price comfortably above both. Key support levels to watch are $3.101 and $3.002, both of which held during pullbacks.

MACD is in positive territory with a strong histogram, indicating sustained buying pressure, while RSI has pushed into overbought conditions at 75. Bollinger Bands show a widening volatility pattern, with price sitting just above the upper band at $3.206. This suggests that the rally may have more upside but with increasing likelihood of a retracement to the mid-band around $3.04. Fibonacci retracement levels for the recent $2.698–$3.436 move highlight 61.8% at $3.11 and 38.2% at $3.06 as potential zones for near-term consolidation.

The volume profile shows a distinct increase from $2.900 onward, with the largest trade spike at 00:0000 when 1894.65 units were traded. Notional turnover also spiked at this time, suggesting a large buy order or institutional accumulation. The price action and volume data are in alignment, indicating strong conviction in the bullish move. However, traders should watch for any divergence in volume during pullbacks, which may signal exhaustion.

Backtest Hypothesis
A potential backtesting strategy could focus on RSI-based sell signals for VANAUSDC. If historical data were available, one might test for RSI overbought levels (above 70) as sell triggers and oversold levels (below 30) as buy triggers. Given the current RSI at 75, this could be a natural entry point for a sell signal backtest, especially if paired with a closing below the 50-period EMA. A full backtest from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-01 could validate whether such a strategy would have been profitable for this asset. However, without confirmed historical data, the robustness of the strategy remains unverified.
