Over the 24-hour period, price action on the 15-minute chart demonstrated a clear bullish bias. A key support level was identified around $0.00000085–$0.00000086, while resistance emerged at $0.00000091–$0.00000092. A series of bullish engulfing and piercing patterns occurred around 07:45 ET and 08:15 ET, suggesting strong buying pressure. A large-volume bar at 09:30 ET confirmed a sharp downward correction to $0.00000092, but buyers quickly absorbed the sell-off. The price appears to be consolidating above its 20-period and 50-period moving averages, suggesting continuation bias toward higher levels.

Momentum, as measured by MACD and RSI, shows a steady increase in buying strength. The MACD histogram expanded in the early morning hours, confirming the bullish move. The RSI, currently at 54, remains within healthy levels, avoiding overbought territory. This implies that the move may not yet be exhausted but lacks immediate signs of exhaustion. A potential divergence at 15:30 ET showed a slight flattening of RSI despite a lower close, which may hint at near-term caution.

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the late-night to early morning hours, indicating increased volatility and potential breakout conditions. Price traded above the upper band between 08:00 and 10:00 ET, suggesting a temporary overextension. However, the price remained within the bands for most of the session, showing that volatility was largely directional rather than chaotic. A 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.00000093 may now act as a short-term target, with a potential pullback to the 50-period MA around $0.00000090.

Backtest Hypothesis
The described backtesting strategy aims to identify early bullish reversal patterns during consolidation phases, particularly using bullish engulfing and piercing patterns in conjunction with RSI and volume confirmation. A hypothetical entry could be placed at the close of a confirmed pattern, with a stop loss just below the recent swing low. A take-profit target could be set at the 61.8% Fibonacci level. Given the recent strong buying pressure, the strategy may have performed well in the early morning hours (e.g., 08:15 ET), where volume and candlestick structure aligned favorably. However, caution is warranted if the 50-period MA and key Fibonacci level are not able to hold.
