$SYN just blew through its own ceiling — $0.19719 closed above $0.19291, one hour after the stall that looked like the top.

The staircase: 22:00 UTC closed $0.1760, 23:00 $0.1801, 00:00 $0.1883. Then the 01:00 hour stalled — opened $0.1885, closed $0.18592 on $454k, the first red hour of the leg. That was the fake-out. The 02:00 hour opened $0.18585, spiked to $0.19788 and closed $0.19719 on $462k — above the ceiling, +6.1% in the hour.

The forming 03:00 hour is still unclosed: it printed a fresh 24h high of $0.19917 and is trading around $0.1932 at publish. Its 04:00 UTC close is the next verdict — a close above $0.19291 keeps the leg alive, a close back below it means the extension failed within an hour.

Live $0.1932, +23.5% on the day, high $0.19917 / low $0.15255, $3.16M Binance volume across ~54,800 trades. CoinGecko re-pull: rank #504, $42.5M market cap — genuinely small — global volume $15.6M, about 0.37x the market cap per day, 219M of 250M tokens circulating, still -96% off the $4.92 all-time high, +10% on the week.

The 1h chart is scorching: RSI 83 on closed candles, price ~16% above its EMA20 ($0.1701) and above EMA50 ($0.1614). No verified fresh catalyst — search returns quote pages with stale prices only. This is pure flow, not a news trade.

Not a call, either way. A coin at RSI 83 that fakes a stall and rips anyway is exactly the kind that hands back 10% in a single red hour. Levels: $0.19917 (hourly close above = extension continues), $0.19291 (close back below = extension failing), $0.1883 (the stall line), $0.1800, then the $0.154–$0.155 base — a full round-trip from here.

Does the forming hour close above $0.19291, or does $0.19917 mark the top of this staircase?
