Structure & Formations

Price formed a bullish flag pattern between 18:00–22:00 ET and later broke out toward $0.164–0.165 before a bearish inside bar at 14:00 ET signaled potential exhaustion. A key bearish engulfing pattern appeared at 04:30–05:00 ET, which reversed the upward trend. Notable support levels include $0.1615–0.162 and $0.1585–0.1595, with resistance at $0.1635–0.164 and $0.1655–0.166.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, price has spent much of the session above the 20 and 50-period moving averages, suggesting a short-term bullish bias. However, the 50SMA is now trending lower, indicating a potential correction. On the daily chart, the 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages are not fully defined due to limited data, but the current 24-hour close appears to be above the 50-day MA, assuming recent prior days held similar gains.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed into bearish territory in the last 4 hours, forming a bearish divergence with price. RSI peaked above 70 in the early session, signaling overbought conditions, and has since corrected to neutral levels. This suggests the upward move may be nearing exhaustion, with a potential pullback into the $0.162–0.163 range likely.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly as the price broke out of the upper band in the early morning, peaking at $0.1659. The bands have since widened, indicating an active trading phase. Price currently sits just below the upper band, suggesting continued momentum, though a reversal back into the channel could signal a short-term consolidation.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged in early trading, peaking at 671,591 RESOLV around 04:45 ET, and again in late ET with a 1.08M RESOLV print at 14:00 ET. Notional turnover mirrored volume with two distinct peaks. However, price failed to hold key resistance at $0.164–0.165, suggesting bearish accumulation. Divergence between volume and price near 05:30 ET supports a bearish view for the next 24 hours.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, key retracement levels were tested in the $0.163 (38.2%), $0.1625 (50%), and $0.1618 (61.8%) ranges. The price bounced off the 61.8% level in late trading, indicating potential support. On the daily chart, Fibonacci levels suggest a key support at $0.1595–0.1605 (61.8% retracement of the recent rally), with further bearish potential if that level breaks.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy focuses on capturing short-term reversals using RSI divergence and volume confirmation. For instance, the bearish divergence in RSI after 04:30 ET coincided with a large-volume bar and a bearish engulfing pattern—both strong sell signals. A potential buy signal could be triggered when price retests the $0.1615–0.162 support with a bullish engulfing pattern and strong volume. The strategy assumes a holding period of 4–6 hours with a stop-loss set 1–2% below the entry level and a take-profit at the nearest Fibonacci or trendline resistance. This approach has shown historical success in volatile altcoin pairs during early to mid-session trading in liquid markets.
