Structure & Formations
The 15-minute chart showed a bullish engulfing pattern forming around $0.0174–$0.0176, confirming a reversal after a prior decline. Key resistance levels at $0.0176 and $0.0178 were tested multiple times, with the price eventually breaking through $0.01784 in the early morning hours. A critical support area emerged at $0.0173–$0.0174, holding firm during two attempted breakouts.
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA (around $0.01745) provided support, while the 50-period MA (around $0.01755) acted as a dynamic resistance. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA (not explicitly provided in data) likely supported a longer-term bullish bias, with the price above the 200-period MA.
MACD & RSI
The MACD showed a bullish crossover in the early morning, aligning with a breakout above $0.01784. RSI climbed into overbought territory (above 70) around 07:30–08:00 ET, suggesting a potential pullback. A subsequent decline in RSI and diverging price action hinted at short-term exhaustion, though
remained positive.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility increased significantly as the price surged from $0.0173 to $0.01801, expanding the Bollinger Bands. The price closed near the upper band ($0.0178) at key breakout points, signaling a continuation of upward momentum, but a retest of the lower band could be expected in the near term.
Volume & Turnover
High-volume surges occurred during key breakouts, particularly between 06:45–08:00 ET and 15:45–16:00 ET, confirming price action. Turnover increased in tandem, with no major divergences between price and volume, indicating strong conviction in the upward move.
Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci levels to the recent swing from $0.01694 to $0.01801, the 61.8% level (~$0.01759) acted as a minor support, while the 78.6% extension (~$0.01808) appears to cap the immediate upside. The 38.2% retracement (~$0.01735) held well during pullbacks.
Backtest Hypothesis
The "Bullish Engulfing + Resistance-Break" strategy, with a 1.71% stop-loss, aligns with today's VETUSDT pattern. A bullish engulfing candle formed near the 20-period high, followed by a clear break of $0.01784 resistance. This strategy would have triggered an entry near $0.0176, with a stop-loss at $0.01738 and a target near the next 20-day high. Given today’s execution, such a trade would have captured a significant portion of the upward move. The backtesting module embedded in the strategy description can provide historical performance insights and optimize risk-return parameters for this pattern.
