The price action unfolded in a two-phase narrative: a sharp bullish rally in the early hours and a bearish correction later in the day. From 00:00 to 06:00 ET, YGGUSDT moved in a bullish consolidation channel with several small bullish engulfing patterns forming on the 15-minute chart. By 11:45 ET, a massive bullish candle (0.1516–0.1588) broke out of the consolidation, signaling aggressive buying. However, this was followed by a bearish reversal with a large candle at 12:00 ET (0.1590–0.1585), then a steady decline through the afternoon, closing the day in a bearish phase.

Structure & Formations

The market formed a large bullish engulfing pattern just before the 11:45 ET candle, indicating strong conviction in the bull case. However, after hitting a high of $0.1627 at 12:00 ET, price formed a bearish reversal at $0.1585 with a long upper shadow and a declining close, signaling rejection at key resistance. A 15-minute doji formed at 14:00 ET near $0.1571, which may indicate a short-term equilibrium point. Key support levels appear at $0.1565, $0.1555, and $0.1545, while resistance is at $0.1590, $0.1605, and $0.1620.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, price broke above both the 20 and 50-period moving averages in the early morning, reinforcing the bullish momentum. However, after the midday correction, the 50-period MA crossed below the 20-period MA, forming a potential death cross in the short term. On the daily chart, the 50 and 200-day MA are in a bearish alignment, with price currently below both. This suggests that while short-term traders are optimistic, the longer-term trend remains bearish.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line surged above zero during the morning rally, reaching a peak before the 12:00 ET correction. However, the signal line did not follow, leading to a bearish divergence. RSI hit an overbought level of 68 during the rally but failed to maintain it and dropped sharply into neutral territory. Later, it touched 32 near $0.1567, suggesting the market may be oversold. This supports the idea of a potential rebound in the near term, but confirmation is needed.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the morning rally, with price moving from near the lower band to above the upper band within a 6-hour window. This reflects high volatility. However, as the price corrected, the bands began to contract, especially after 04:00 ET, suggesting a period of consolidation. At the end of the 24-hour period, price closed near the middle band, indicating that the market is in transition and may need a new catalyst to break out again.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked dramatically during the midday rally, with the largest 15-minute candle at 11:45 ET showing a turnover of $1,769,648. This was a 44x increase compared to the average volume during the consolidation phase. However, volume dropped significantly after the 12:00 ET bearish reversal, and the subsequent bearish candles had minimal participation. This suggests the initial rally had strong conviction, but the selling pressure later in the day was not supported by equally high volume, which could hint at weak bearish conviction or profit-taking.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement to the 15-minute move from $0.148 to $0.1627, key levels at 61.8% ($0.1565) and 78.6% ($0.1596) were hit during the afternoon correction. Price found support at the 61.8% level but failed to hold the 78.6% level. For the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement of the recent bearish move from $0.1627 to $0.1545 is at $0.1577, where the market closed just below that level, indicating a possible short-term target if the bounce holds.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy focuses on a trend-following system that enters long on a bullish breakout above the 20-period moving average on the 15-minute chart and exits on a bearish close below the 50-period moving average. The strategy also includes a stop-loss at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level and a target at the 61.8% level. Given the morning breakout above the 20-period MA and the afternoon close below the 50-period MA, the system would have entered long in the morning and exited in the afternoon. The trade would have captured the initial rally but exited the correction early, resulting in a mixed performance. Adjusting the strategy to include a trailing stop based on Bollinger Band width may help filter out false signals and improve risk management.

With a strong intraday volatility profile, the coming 24 hours could see a test of the $0.1565 support level or a potential bounce from oversold RSI. Traders may watch for a break above $0.1590 for a short-term bullish case, but the longer-term bearish trend remains intact. As always, volume confirmation and divergences between price and momentum indicators will be key to assessing the market’s next move.
