Structure & Formations

The price action displayed several key features including a bearish engulfing pattern around 2.36–2.333, signaling a strong shift in sentiment toward the close of the previous trading session. A key support zone between 2.10–2.14 was tested multiple times with a successful bounce off the 2.12 level. A potential resistance zone formed around the 2.16–2.18 range, with a failed break above it indicating caution in that area. A doji formed near 2.135, suggesting indecision, while a long bearish candle from 2.163 to 2.131 signaled a continuation of the downward trend.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages both showed a downward trend, aligning with the bearish momentum. The 50-period line crossed below the 20-period line in a death cross formation, reinforcing the downtrend. On the daily chart, the 50, 100, and 200-period moving averages remained in a descending order, with the price currently sitting below all of them, suggesting a strong bearish bias. This alignment of moving averages across timeframes may indicate a continuation of the current downtrend in the near term.

MACD & RSI

The MACD moved below the signal line and into negative territory early in the morning, confirming bearish momentum. The histogram expanded during the sharp sell-off from 2.36 to 2.135, reflecting strong bearish divergence. The RSI dipped into oversold territory, reaching as low as 24, which suggests a potential for a short-term bounce or consolidation. However, the slow RSI movement and lack of a clear reversal pattern imply that any rebound may remain limited in scope.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed significant contraction in the early morning hours, particularly between 02:45 and 04:00 ET, indicating low volatility and a potential prelude to a breakout. The price moved above the lower band during the 03:30–04:00 ET period, suggesting a bearish breakout. Following the expansion, the bands have widened, with price currently trading near the middle band, showing neutral positioning but with a bias toward the lower half of the range.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the sharp sell-off between 03:00 and 05:00 ET, reaching a peak of 36,351.75 at 03:30–04:00, coinciding with the breakdown to the 2.135 level. Turnover also increased significantly in these sessions, indicating heightened bearish participation. However, volume has since moderated in the morning hours, suggesting a potential exhaustion of the bearish wave. A divergence between price and volume at the 2.10–2.14 level may signal a reversal or at least a pause in the decline.

Fibonacci Retracements

Using the recent 15-minute swing from 2.375 to 2.071, the 38.2% retrace level is at 2.232 and the 61.8% retrace is at 2.181. The price bounced from near the 61.8% level at 2.181 and continued lower, suggesting this may not hold as a strong support in the short term. On a daily chart, the 50% retrace level of the broader swing is at 2.20, which aligns with the middle band of the Bollinger Bands, indicating potential confluence for a possible bounce.

Backtest Hypothesis

The provided backtest strategy involves identifying bearish engulfing patterns, which were observed in the 2.36–2.333 range. A short entry at the next day's open, following the confirmation of the bearish pattern, aligns with the prevailing bearish sentiment. To evaluate the strategy's viability, a clear exit rule is essential—whether through a same-day close, fixed holding period, or defined stop-loss/take-profit levels. This approach would allow for testing of the pattern’s consistency in a bearish environment and its ability to generate profitable trades during high-volatility sessions.
