Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart shows a bullish engulfing pattern forming around 953.0 following a bearish retracement from 961.3. A key support level appears to have held at 946.0, with a potential bearish reversal forming at 961.3. A long upper shadow at 961.3 indicates rejection of higher prices, suggesting resistance ahead. Meanwhile, the 970.9–953.0 range reflects a period of high volatility, with the price testing the lower boundary multiple times.

Moving Averages

Short-term moving averages (20/50) on the 15-minute chart crossed above the 953.0 level during the final hours of the session, signaling a potential upward bias. Daily 50/100/200-period averages suggest the price may be consolidating near a long-term support area around 946.0, with no clear trend forming over the broader time horizon.

MACD & RSI

The 15-minute MACD showed a bullish crossover near 953.0, confirming the upward move. The RSI reached 55–60 during the consolidation phase and briefly pushed toward 65 during the 953.0–961.3 rally, hinting at overbought conditions. However, the RSI did not enter extreme overbought territory, suggesting the rally may still have room to extend, at least in the near term.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly during the 970.9–946.0 range, with the price breaking below the lower band at 946.0. A subsequent retest saw the price rebound and close near the mid-band at 953.0, suggesting a potential base is forming. If the price can hold above 953.0, the upper band could offer a target near 961.3.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the 946.0–953.0 consolidation, with a sharp increase as the price rebounded. Notional turnover followed in line, confirming the strength of the reversal. However, turnover declined during the 953.0–961.3 push, suggesting limited buyer commitment at higher levels.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the 970.9–946.0 move, the 38.2% level at ~960.3 and 61.8% at ~953.4 were tested during the consolidation phase. The price found temporary support at the 61.8% level and is currently consolidating near the 50% retracement at ~958.5. A break above the 38.2% level could confirm a bullish reversal.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy leverages a short-term breakout approach using a 15-minute timeframe. It triggers a long entry when the price closes above the 50-period moving average and the RSI crosses above 55, with a stop loss placed below the 20-period moving average. A take profit is set at the nearest Fibonacci level (61.8% or 78.6%). Given the recent consolidation near the 953.0 level and the positive divergence in momentum, this strategy could have captured the 953.0–961.3 move, particularly if executed with a strict risk-to-reward ratio of 1:2.
