Structure & Formations

TIAUSDT displayed a notable bullish breakout from the 1.05–1.06 range between 22:15 ET and 05:30 ET, forming a strong ascending channel. A key resistance level was identified near 1.082, where the price tested but failed to close above. Meanwhile, 1.054 acted as a strong support level, successfully holding during several attempted breaks. A morning doji at 1.076 and a bearish engulfing pattern at 1.081 indicate growing bearish sentiment after the breakout.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA briefly crossed above the 50-period MA, confirming short-term bullish momentum. However, the 50-period MA has since turned downward, suggesting a loss of steam. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA remains below the 200-period MA, which may indicate a longer-term bearish bias despite recent short-term gains.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed above the zero line early in the 24-hour period, indicating short-term bullish momentum. However, by the end of the session, it had crossed back below, signaling a weakening trend. The RSI moved into overbought territory during the breakout phase, but has since declined toward neutral levels, indicating a potential pullback. A bearish divergence appears between the price and RSI in the last 4 hours, suggesting a possible reversal or consolidation phase.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly as the price broke out of the 1.05–1.06 range, with the upper band reaching 1.084 and the lower band dropping to 1.049. During this period, the price traded near or above the upper band, indicating strong bullish momentum. However, as the price declined in the latter half of the session, it drifted back toward the middle band, suggesting reduced volatility and potential consolidation ahead.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the breakout phase, peaking at 495,903.38 units when the price moved from 1.056 to 1.074. This volume surge confirmed the strength of the upward move. However, volume has since declined, with the last few hours showing a noticeable drop in notional turnover. This divergence between price and volume suggests reduced conviction in the current trend, and potentially a period of range-bound trading.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci levels to the 1.05–1.084 swing, the key retracement levels are as follows:
- 23.6% at 1.067
- 38.2% at 1.064
- 50% at 1.067
- 61.8% at 1.060

The current price is hovering near the 61.8% retracement level at 1.060, which may serve as a potential support or resistance depending on the direction of the next move. If the price continues to decline, 1.054 could represent the next key level to watch.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the current price behavior and indicator signals, a backtest hypothesis could be structured around a mean-reversion strategy with RSI and MACD as triggers. The RSI crossing into overbought territory and then diverging from the price could be used as a sell signal. Similarly, a bearish MACD crossover (from above to below zero) could confirm a short position. A stop-loss could be placed just above the 1.067 level to manage downside risk, while the 1.054 level could serve as a target for a potential rebound. To implement this, access to full MACD and RSI data would be required.
