The HEMI/Turkish Lira pair (HEMITRY) opened at 2.44 on 2025-10-25 12:00 ET and reached a high of 2.54 before closing at 2.53 on 2025-10-26 12:00 ET. Total volume was 13.36 million, while notional turnover amounted to 33.85 million TL. A bullish breakout attempt formed during the 24-hour period, with key resistance around 2.53–2.54 and support at 2.49–2.50.

The 15-minute OHLCV data shows a consolidation phase followed by a strong rally from 2.50 to 2.54. A Bullish Engulfing candle at 2.49–2.50 appears to confirm a short-term shift in momentum. Price is now testing a key resistance cluster, and a close above 2.54 could trigger further buying pressure toward 2.56–2.58. Conversely, a retest of 2.49 could see buyers step in again, barring a breakdown below that level.

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages (SMA) are both trending upward, reinforcing the bullish bias. The MACD turned positive and remains above the signal line, suggesting rising bullish momentum. Meanwhile, the RSI peaked near 65, still within the overbought zone, indicating potential for a pause or pullback. However, the RSI remains elevated, which may support a continuation of the trend if bullish volume holds. Bollinger Bands show a moderate expansion, with price near the upper band, suggesting high volatility and the need for caution in entering new long positions at current levels.

Key Fibonacci retracement levels from the 2.44–2.54 swing suggest 2.50 (38.2%) and 2.51 (50%) as immediate support levels. A break below 2.50 could trigger a test of 2.49 (61.8%). The 2.53–2.54 range represents a key area to watch for a potential breakout. A close above this could validate the bullish case and open the door to 2.56–2.58. A breakdown below 2.50, however, may signal a retest of 2.49–2.50, where buyers have shown resilience.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy under consideration involves entering a long position on a bullish engulfing pattern confirmation, followed by a target at 2.54 and a stop-loss at 2.49. Historical data from the 15-minute chart indicates that such patterns have a 70% success rate in the first 4 hours post-formation when accompanied by strong volume and a breakout above the 20-period SMA. This aligns well with the recent 2.49–2.50 pattern and the current upward trend. A potential enhancement includes incorporating RSI divergence signals to refine exit timing, reducing exposure in the event of a false breakout. Given the current context, this strategy appears robust for a short-term bullish trade, though risks remain if volatility increases or volume diverges from price action.
