The 15-minute chart shows a notable bullish engulfing pattern forming just below $0.026, where price bounced off a 12-hour support level. This level coincides with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement from the earlier $0.02541 to $0.02654 swing. Bollinger Bands are currently constricting, indicating a potential low-volatility phase ahead. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages remain in a tight alignment, suggesting no immediate trend formation.

MACD continues to hover around the zero line with a small positive divergence, indicating a potential shift in momentum if volume increases in the next 24 hours. RSI remains within the neutral range, with no overbought or oversold signals. A breakout above $0.02635 could trigger the 50-period MA and test the next resistance at $0.02658, while a breakdown below $0.02561 could accelerate the 200-day support line at $0.02547.

The recent price move appears to be consolidating within a descending triangle pattern, with the upper boundary at ~$0.0263 and the lower boundary at ~$0.0256. The 61.8% Fibonacci level at $0.0259 aligns with key support, which could attract buyers if the consolidation fails to break above $0.02635. Given the current structure, a breakout in either direction could be leveraged by directional traders, while sideways movement may favor range-bound strategies.

Backtest Hypothesis
The provided backtesting strategy suggests entering a long position on UTKUSDC when price closes above the 50-period moving average on the 15-minute chart and RSI crosses above 50, with a stop-loss placed at the most recent swing low. Alternatively, a short position is triggered when price closes below the 50-period MA and RSI drops below 50, with a stop-loss at the most recent swing high. Given today’s price behavior, the strategy would have triggered a long entry at ~$0.02593 if volume had confirmed the breakout above $0.02591, which appears to be in progress. A similar setup may offer a viable entry point in the next 24 hours if the consolidation resolves in favor of the bullish pattern.
