Opening Narrative

Structure & Formations
Price action revealed key support around $2.95–$2.96 and resistance near $3.00–$3.08. A notable bullish engulfing pattern occurred on the 15-minute chart between 00:30–00:45 ET, followed by a strong bullish reversal at $2.972. A key 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $3.015 was retested and held before a breakout past $3.084 in the early afternoon.
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA crossed above the 50-period MA late in the session, signaling a potential short-term bullish bias. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA sits above the 200-period MA, reflecting a longer-term bullish trend, though the 100-period MA has been flattening, suggesting some near-term consolidation may occur.
MACD & RSI
The MACD crossed into positive territory after 05:00 ET and showed a broadening histogram toward the close, indicating strengthening bullish momentum. RSI rose from 58 to 68 during the session, suggesting moderate overbought conditions, with potential for a pullback or consolidation. No strong divergence was observed between price and momentum indicators.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility expanded significantly during the session, with the 20-period Bollinger Bands widening from ~$0.02 to ~$0.12. Price closed near the upper band at $3.084, signaling a breakout attempt. A contraction in volatility earlier in the session (before 05:00 ET) preceded the surge, which may indicate a potential continuation of the bullish trend.
Volume & Turnover
Volume showed a sharp increase in the last four hours, with over 2,100 units traded at $3.084. The largest single 15-minute volume spike occurred at 14:00 ET with 821.46 units, coinciding with a breakout above $3.084. Notional turnover also spiked during this period, confirming the strength of the price move.
Fibonacci Retracements
Recent 15-minute swings showed retests of the 61.8% Fibonacci level at $3.015–$3.022, which was cleared decisively in the final hours. On the daily chart, the 38.2% Fibonacci level at $2.98–$2.99 acted as support during the early consolidation phase. A retest of the $3.03–$3.05 zone could confirm a new bullish bias.
Backtest Hypothesis
The backtest strategy involves trading Vana/USDC using a “Bullish Engulfing” candlestick pattern as an entry signal, with a fixed 3-day holding period. During the 24-hour period, several bullish engulfing patterns were observed, notably at 00:30–00:45 ET and 09:30–09:45 ET. The latter led to a strong move to $3.036, aligning with the backtest's logic of holding for three trading days to capture trend continuation. This aligns with the observed 15-minute chart action, where bullish momentum persisted after pattern confirmation. While the 3-day hold rule would have captured a 3.4% gain from the 09:30 ET signal, shorter-term traders should be mindful of the volatility and potential pullbacks.
Forward-Looking View
Vana/USDC appears to be entering a phase of bullish momentum, with key resistance now at $3.084–$3.10. If this level holds, further upside toward $3.15 may follow. However, a retest of the $3.015–$3.022 zone could trigger a consolidation phase. Investors should monitor volume and RSI for signs of overbought conditions and potential pullbacks. As always, volatility remains a key risk factor for short-term traders.
