Total volume was 456,374.16 and turnover reached $2,364,411.24 over the 24-hour window. The pair saw a sharp breakout in the final 2.5 hours, suggesting increased interest.

Price action shows a strong bullish reversal from the 4.90–5.00 range, where a long lower shadow and large-volume candle on 2025-10-11 21:15–21:30 (closing at 4.98) signaled rejection of the lower bounds. A subsequent bearish engulfing pattern occurred at 5.00–4.94, but the pair bounced off this level with a bullish hammer at 5.00 on 2025-10-12 00:00–00:15. Key resistance emerged at 5.20, 5.40, and 5.60, with the latter being a recent peak. Support levels include 5.20 and 4.90.

Structure & Formations

The final two hours were marked by a strong bull trend, with a bullish engulfing pattern at 5.40–5.49 and a strong 5.49–5.57 bullish candle signaling momentum. A bearish doji at 5.57–5.58 (16:00–16:15) may indicate a pause in the upward move. The 5.60–5.57 pullback was brief but could signal a short-term consolidation. The 5.60–5.57 pullback also coincided with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement from the 5.10–5.70 swing, reinforcing its importance.

Moving Averages

The 15-minute chart shows the price closing above both the 20 and 50 EMA lines, with the 50 EMA rising steeply. The 50 EMA crossed above the 20 EMA near 5.35, forming a bullish crossover. On the daily chart, the 50 EMA is at 5.15, the 100 EMA at 5.10, and the 200 EMA at 5.05, suggesting the current move is above all major averages and reinforcing a strong bullish trend.

MACD & RSI

The 15-minute MACD crossed above the signal line near 5.45, confirming bullish momentum. The RSI reached 75 during the 5.60–5.57 pullback, indicating overbought conditions. This suggests the pair may consolidate or retest the 5.50–5.55 range before another leg up. A bearish RSI divergence was noted at the 5.57–5.58 doji, hinting at potential resistance to higher levels.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded during the final 3 hours, with the price reaching the upper band at 5.60 and 5.69. This suggests increased volatility and strong short-term momentum. Price remained near the upper band for the last 2 hours, indicating continuation of the move. A retest of the mid-band at 5.50–5.55 could offer a potential consolidation point before a breakout or reversal.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked significantly during the 5.60–5.70 move, with the two largest volume candles (113,267.4 and 106,222.5) occurring at 15:30 and 16:00. Turnover for these periods totaled ~$545k, confirming strong conviction in the bullish move. However, volume during the 5.69–5.64 pullback was lower, suggesting less conviction in the move, increasing the possibility of a short-term pullback or consolidation.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the key 5.10–5.70 swing, the 38.2% level at 5.33 was tested and held briefly, while the 61.8% level at 5.43 was a key consolidation point. The price broke above 5.60, the 78.6% level, but a strong volume pullback at 5.57–5.58 suggests resistance to further gains. A retest of the 61.8% level at 5.43 could offer a key support target if a pullback occurs.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy would involve entering a long position upon a bullish engulfing pattern forming above the 5.40–5.49 level, supported by a 15-minute RSI above 55 and volume expansion. A stop loss would be placed below the 5.30–5.35 zone, and a target would be set at the 5.60–5.65 area. This setup was observed near 5.40–5.49 on 2025-10-12 10:30–10:45, where a 50 EMA crossover and RSI surge supported the move. The strategy could be tested for its ability to capture sharp bullish moves during high-volume periods.
