Structure & Formations

The price action formed a strong bearish trend with multiple rejection points at 0.36–0.37, highlighting key resistance. A long bearish candle at 0.36–0.3622 around 08:15 ET confirmed a breakdown of the short-term support. A 21-candle bearish trendline formed from 0.385 (19:45 ET) to 0.366 (04:15 ET), which was decisively broken at 08:15 ET. The 0.3550–0.3562 level appears to be the next critical support. A potential bullish reversal pattern may form if the price consolidates at this level without breaking it.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20SMA and 50SMA crossed below the price during the sell-off starting at 03:00 ET. The 50SMA is currently at 0.3712, and the 100SMA at 0.3783, indicating the trend is strongly bearish. If the price breaks below 0.3550, the 200SMA at 0.3815 will become a long-term resistance level.

MACD & RSI

The RSI dropped sharply into oversold territory (~25) at 09:15 ET, signaling a potential near-term bottom or reversal, though bearish momentum remains intact. The MACD line turned negative and crossed below the signal line during the sell-off, confirming bearish momentum. A bullish divergence in RSI could signal a near-term rebound if the price holds above 0.3550.

The price appears to be in a consolidation phase after the sharp sell-off, with the RSI suggesting potential for a short-term bounce. However, the bearish bias remains intact unless a strong reversal candle closes above 0.3662. Watch for a bullish engulfing pattern at 0.3550–0.3562 as a potential buy signal.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands have tightened between 0.3645 and 0.3675 from 02:45–04:45 ET, indicating a period of low volatility that preceded the sharp sell-off. After 08:00 ET, the price dropped below the lower band, confirming the bearish breakout. If the price holds below 0.3562, the bands may widen again, reflecting increased bearish volatility.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked significantly during the sell-off between 08:15–09:15 ET, with the largest single candle (08:15 ET) recording 213,946.58 in volume and 79,110.59 in turnover. This volume suggests a high conviction move to the downside. However, volume has since decreased, suggesting potential exhaustion or consolidation at the lower end. A rise in volume would be needed to confirm a further move below 0.3550.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, the recent swing from 0.3901 (05:30 ET) to 0.3510 (16:00 ET) shows key retracement levels. The 38.2% level is at 0.3735, 50% at 0.3706, and 61.8% at 0.3676. The price has consolidated near the 61.8% level for much of the day, suggesting potential support. If the price breaks below 0.3550, the 61.8% retracement of the 0.385–0.3510 swing (0.3649) could become a new key level.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy could involve entering a long position if the price closes above the 61.8% retracement level at 0.3676 with a closing volume above the 20-period average. A stop-loss could be placed just below the recent swing low at 0.3550, while a take-profit target would be the 50% retracement at 0.3706. This setup aligns with the current consolidation near key Fibonacci levels and the oversold RSI, offering a balanced risk-reward profile. The trigger event is a bullish candle with a strong close and increasing volume, suggesting renewed buyer interest.
