XTZ post-capitulation play: buying the dip for a mean-reversion run into 0.66

Comprehensive multi-timeframe technical analysis for XTZ/USD (Last price: 0.636697)

Regime shift: A sharp capitulation on 2025-10-10 (low ≈ 0.4587, close ≈ 0.5619) broke the late-September range (≈ 0.70–0.80). Since then, a two-day rebound has lifted price to ≈ 0.6367.
Structure: After the flush, the last 48 hours show a classic V-reversal and early accumulation: higher highs and higher lows on the hourly chart, with intraday resistance currently near 0.640–0.641 and support building at 0.625–0.630 and deeper at 0.579–0.583.
Overhead supply: Significant supply expected at 0.657–0.675 (late-Sept pivot cluster and 20-day mean) and heavier at 0.70–0.72 (prior value area).

20D SMA ≈ 0.675 (computed from last 20 closes). Price = 0.6367, sitting 5.7% below the 20D mean; implies mean-reversion tailwind if bounce continues.
50D SMA (approx) above 0.70 given September tape; price well below the medium-term trend, confirming a broader downtrend despite near-term rebound.
Short-term (1H/4H EMAs): Price has reclaimed intraday moving averages, consistent with the higher-high/higher-low cadence; favors continuation toward first daily resistance if 0.640–0.641 breaks.

Daily RSI(14) ≈ 45 (post-bounce). Not oversold anymore; still sub-50, typical of bear-market rallies but with room to push to neutral (50–55) over 24h.
Hourly RSI: Rising into mid-to-high 60s during the push to 0.64; minor intraday overbought was worked off via small pullbacks, not trend-ending.
Stochastics (inferred): Turning up from oversold on daily; on hourly, oscillating near upper bounds—supports shallow-dip-bid behavior.

Daily MACD remains below zero (trend damage), but histogram has contracted meaningfully since the crash, signaling bearish momentum fade and the potential for a short-term bullish cross on 4H. This typically supports a 1–3 session mean-reversion attempt.

ATR expanded sharply on 10/10; daily range compressed somewhat over the last two sessions but remains elevated. Elevated ATR aids travel to nearby resistance pockets.
Bollinger Bands(20,2): Midline ≈ 0.675, estimated lower band ≈ 0.597. Price bounced from sub-band extreme (hammer on 10/10) and is now in the lower half of the envelope—typical path is gravitation toward the midline (≈ 0.675) if momentum holds.

Tenkan (9-period mid) ≈ (recent 9H+9L)/2 ~ near 0.595–0.605 after the extreme low; Kijun (26-period mid) ≈ (0.8269 high + 0.4587 low)/2 ≈ 0.6428.
Price (0.6367) is slightly below Kijun; a reclaim above ≈ 0.643 would be a constructive trigger. The cloud remains overhead (>0.70), so any bounce is counter-trend on the daily until cloud/MA structure turns.

Using 10/09 close ≈ 0.6782 to 10/10 low ≈ 0.4587 (Δ ≈ 0.2195):
- 38.2% ≈ 0.5425 (cleared)
- 50% ≈ 0.5685 (cleared)
- 61.8% ≈ 0.5944 (cleared)
- 78.6% ≈ 0.6318 (now hovering just above)
- 100% ≈ 0.6782 (pre-crash close)
Current price near the 78.6% retracement often pauses; a clean hourly close above 0.641 would likely open 0.657–0.666.

10/10 volume surge (capitulation) followed by reduced but still-elevated rebound volume on 10/11–10/12. This is a healthy sequence: panic, absorption, controlled recovery.
Hourly volume during the 0.62–0.64 advance shows consistent participation; slight tapering near 0.64 suggests short-term supply but not aggressive distribution.

Sequence: 0.573 → 0.589 → 0.595 → 0.602 → 0.611 → 0.621 → 0.630 → 0.635–0.641 attempts: higher highs/lows.
Supports: 0.629–0.631 (intraday shelf), 0.620–0.622 (prior breakout base), 0.579–0.583 (daily pivot and 10/11 body).
Resistances: 0.640–0.641 (hourly supply), 0.657 (9/25 close), 0.670–0.675 (cluster + 20D SMA), 0.700–0.705 (psych + prior value area).

10/10 daily hammer-like candle with long lower shadow: capitulation and demand response.
Follow-through days (10/11, 10/12) confirm a morning-star-like recovery pattern, strengthening the case for a 1–2 more sessions of upside unless 0.620 fails decisively.

While exact session VWAP not provided, the stepwise rally suggests a VWAP reclaim and hold. Liquidity pocket between 0.64 and 0.67 is relatively thin (few daily closes in that band recently), implying faster moves if 0.641 breaks.

Base case (≈60%): Brief dip to 0.629–0.632, then breakout over 0.641, extension to 0.655–0.666 with momentum fading near the 20D SMA zone. Close near 0.65–0.66.
Pullback case (≈25%): Rejection at 0.641 leads to retest of 0.620–0.622. If bid holds, range 0.62–0.64 persists; upside deferred 12–24h.
Bear shock (≈15%): Loss of 0.620 triggers stop cascades toward 0.597–0.600 (BB lower band neighborhood) and possibly a spike test back to 0.579–0.583. Given capitulation already occurred, deeper follow-through is less likely without a fresh catalyst.

Bias: Tactical long for mean reversion into 0.657–0.675 resistance band.
Optimal entry: Buy-the-dip into 0.629 (near 78.6% fib retest and intraday shelf).
Validation: Hourly close above 0.641 increases odds of reaching 0.657–0.666 quickly.
Suggested stop (not requested but prudent): 0.598–0.602 (below BB lower neighborhood and below 0.620 breakdown zone), targeting ≈ 1:1.2–1:1.6 R:R vs 0.662 take-profit.

Multiple tools align for a short-term continuation higher: post-capitulation pattern, hourly uptrend, RSI normalization, MACD histogram improvement, BB mean-reversion target at ~0.675, and a nearby trigger at 0.641. Primary caveat is overhead supply near 0.657–0.675; hence profit target just below this cluster is optimal.

Forecast (24h): Expect a dip-bid around 0.629–0.632 followed by a push toward 0.655–0.665. Probability-weighted closing zone: 0.648–0.660.

Decision: Buy (Long) with a limit near 0.629 and take-profit at 0.662 (just ahead of the 0.665–0.675 supply and 20D SMA).
