Price action showed a bearish reversal pattern as the asset gave up key resistance levels following a morning rally.

Key support levels emerged around $169.20 and $166.50, with a large bearish engulfing pattern forming in the final 15-minute candle. Resistance appeared at $171.10, $172.30, and $174.10, where volume and price momentum spiked before the pullback. A morning rally saw price test the 20-period EMA positively, but by midday, it dropped below both 20 and 50-period lines, indicating weakening bullish momentum. The 50-period EMA now sits just above $170.00, suggesting potential for a consolidation phase.

MACD turned negative after 15:00 ET, reflecting bearish sentiment, while the RSI overbought at 82 by midday before plunging to oversold territory near 35, signaling a potential bounce from lower levels. Bollinger Bands expanded during the midday breakout but began to contract after the pullback, pointing to a possible consolidation or range-bound phase ahead. Volatility appears to have peaked, with price action settling within the band’s lower half.

Volume increased sharply during the morning push but declined after the 15:00 ET bearish crossover. Notional turnover followed suit, confirming the shift in sentiment. Divergence between price and volume in the afternoon suggests caution for near-term buyers. On the Fibonacci scale, the 38.2% and 61.8% retracement levels at $170.20 and $166.80 could act as pivotal thresholds for further support or bearish follow-through.

Backtest Hypothesis

The provided backtest strategy leverages MACD crossovers, RSI thresholds, and Bollinger Band breakouts to generate signals. Given the observed bearish MACD crossover and RSI divergence during the afternoon, this strategy would have triggered a short signal near $173.00 with a stop loss near $174.20 and a target near $166.10. The recent pullback and volume contraction align with the hypothesis’s emphasis on momentum divergence and volatility-based triggers. While not a perfect match, the setup offers a high-probability trade if the Fibonacci support at $166.80 holds.
