Structure & Formations

Price action showed a clear bullish reversal pattern at the $1.0811 level, where a bullish engulfing pattern formed following a 1.5% decline. This level acted as a strong support, reversing the downward momentum and triggering a 2.65% rally by 12:00 ET. The 15-minute chart revealed a key bearish divergence in RSI during the 03:00–04:15 ET window, indicating waning selling pressure. Later, a strong continuation pattern emerged in the 20:00–21:30 ET window with a series of higher highs and higher lows, confirming bullish momentum.

Key Levels

Notable support levels include $1.0811 and $1.0752, while resistance is forming around $1.106–$1.108. A breakout above $1.108 could target $1.1114, the previous high of the 24-hour period.

Moving Averages & Momentum

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages both crossed above price between 20:00 and 21:00 ET, confirming a bullish trend. On the daily chart, the 50-day MA is currently below the 200-day MA, indicating a longer-term bearish bias. However, the short-term bullish crossover suggests traders may be positioning for a near-term rally.

RSI surged into overbought territory (>70) at 21:30 and 01:45 ET, which may signal short-term profit-taking. MACD showed a positive divergence in the 19:45–20:00 ET window, confirming a bullish shift in momentum.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands widened significantly during the early hours, with price moving from the lower band to near the upper band by 19:30 ET. This widening suggests a period of high volatility and potential trend continuation. By 05:00 ET, the bands began to contract, hinting at a potential reversal or consolidation phase.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged past 220,000 at 20:15 ET, coinciding with a sharp price increase to $1.1073. This confirms strong buying pressure during the breakout. Notional turnover spiked to $1.24 million during the 20:15–20:30 ET window, indicating aggressive accumulation. Later, between 03:00–04:30 ET, volume dropped significantly while price remained elevated, suggesting short-term profit-taking and reduced volatility.

Fibonacci Retracements

Using the recent swing from $1.0811 to $1.1114, the 61.8% Fibonacci retraction level is at $1.0975, and the 38.2% level is at $1.1042. Price has bounced off the 61.8% level twice within the 24-hour period, suggesting it could become a temporary resistance. A break above $1.1042 could target $1.108 and beyond.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy described focuses on short-term trend following using a 20/50 EMA crossover on the 15-minute chart, combined with RSI divergence for confirmation. Given the 2025-09-06 data, a crossover occurred at 20:00 ET, followed by a bullish RSI divergence the following morning at 01:45 ET. A long entry at 20:00 would have captured a 1.8% move by 21:30 ET, with a stop loss below $1.092. The strategy appears well-suited for a volatile pair like VIRTUALUSDT, especially during breakout periods.
