The 24-hour volume reached 308.7 million USDT, with a total notional turnover of $42.8 million. Price action suggests a potential shift in sentiment as buyers pushed the pair through a key psychological level before facing profit-taking pressure.

The structure of the past 24 hours shows a clear multi-phase rally, starting with a breakout above $0.1300 on 17:15 ET, followed by a continuation above $0.1390 and a strong close near $0.1427. Key support appears to be forming around $0.1370–$0.1390, while resistance is now at $0.1450–$0.1470. A doji formed near the high of $0.1501 at 17:15 ET, indicating a brief stalemate between buyers and sellers before price pulled back. A bullish engulfing pattern at that time preceded the breakout, reinforcing the validity of the move.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart suggest price is above both the 20-period and 50-period lines, indicating a short-term bullish bias. On the daily chart, the 50-day EMA is approaching the 100-day SMA from below, which could signal a potential trend reversal if the former crosses above the latter in the coming days. The Bollinger Bands expanded during the breakout phase and have since narrowed, suggesting a period of consolidation could follow.

Rising RSI levels, now above 65, and overbought conditions suggest near-term profit-taking or a pullback could be imminent. MACD remains positive but with a narrowing histogram, hinting at fading momentum. Volume was highest during the breakout, with a 17:15 ET candle printing 119.6 million USDT—over twice the average volume. This suggests strong conviction behind the rally but also sets a benchmark for continuation.

Fibonacci retracements drawn from the 17:15 ET swing (0.1311–0.1501) show price currently testing the 61.8% level at $0.1427. A break above this could target the 78.6% at $0.1468, while a drop below the 38.2% at $0.1400 would signal a retest of prior support. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement from the previous month’s high (not provided in this data) would serve as a critical level to watch.

Backtest Hypothesis

To evaluate potential trading opportunities using historical MACD signal data, a backtesting strategy could be based on identifying golden-cross events (i.e., when the MACD line crosses above the signal line). These moments often indicate a shift in momentum and could serve as buy signals, particularly when aligned with bullish candlestick patterns and strong volume. With access to accurate MACD data for WLFIUSDT, this strategy could be tested from 2022-01-01 to the present. Once the exact exchange ticker symbol or signal dates are provided, the backtesting can be implemented to assess its performance and refine entry/exit rules.
