RSI reached overbought territory at 72 around 11:30 AM and remained above 65 for most of the final 4 hours, suggesting possible exhaustion.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci retracements applied to the 15-minute swing from $0.02271 (low at 16:15 ET) to $0.02295 (high at 19:00 ET) showed the price testing the 61.8% level at $0.02279 and bouncing off it. On the daily chart, the 38.2% level at $0.02262 held briefly before the price pushed through the 61.8% level at $0.02279, confirming bullish momentum. The 78.6% level at $0.02285 acted as a short-term resistance, and the price closed above it, indicating a potential extension phase beyond $0.02292 in the next 24 hours.

Backtest Hypothesis

The described backtesting strategy relies on a 15-minute RSI crossover combined with volume confirmation. Specifically, when RSI dips below 30 and then crosses above 50 on a green candle with increasing volume, it is considered a buy signal. During the bearish phase of this 24-hour period, such a RSI crossover occurred at 04:15 ET, with volume increasing from 2.2 million to 4.1 million VET in the following 15-minute candle. The price then proceeded to rise by 1.8% in the next 2 hours, validating the entry. This pattern could be optimized for early morning entries, particularly during consolidation periods. A trailing stop-loss could be applied at 1.5% below the entry point, with a take-profit target at 61.8% and 78.6% Fibonacci levels. Given the recent volatility, the strategy shows potential for short-term gains in a trending environment.
