Technical Indicators

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages (15-minute) remained bearishly aligned, with price below both. RSI hit an oversold level of 26, suggesting potential for a short-term bounce, while MACD showed bearish divergence in early hours. Bollinger Bands expanded significantly, reflecting heightened volatility. Momentum appears to be weakening, as evidenced by a slowing MACD histogram and flattening RSI trajectory.

Volume & Turnover Insights

A divergence appeared between price and turnover between $142.60 and $138.14, suggesting potential short-term exhaustion. Volume during the final 6 hours remained steady, with no clear accumulation or distribution patterns emerging.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the recent 15-minute move from $148.33 to $136.54, key retracement levels include 23.6% at $144.0, 38.2% at $142.60 (broken), 50% at $142.42, and 61.8% at $141.35. The $137.07 level is a critical psychological floor that could trigger a short-covering rally if breached.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy involves entering short positions on bearish engulfing patterns confirmed by a close below 20-period moving average and RSI below 30. Stop-loss could be placed at 23.6% Fibonacci level ($144.0), with take-profit near $136.54. The strategy would target intraday momentum and volatility-based retracements, aligning with today’s price behavior.
