The 15-minute chart shows a tight trading range between 0.0965 and 0.0945, with multiple failed breakouts and bearish engulfing patterns forming near 0.0960–0.0964. A key resistance appears to be forming at 0.0960, while a strong support zone is emerging between 0.0947–0.0943. A notable bearish engulfing pattern was observed around 02:30–03:30 ET, confirming bearish sentiment after a short-lived rally.

Moving Averages

The 15-minute chart shows the 20-EMA (0.0957) and 50-EMA (0.0958) converging and acting as dynamic resistance. On the daily chart, the 50-EMA is at 0.0955, 100-EMA at 0.0953, and 200-EMA at 0.0952, all forming a cluster near the 0.0953–0.0956 range, providing a key area to watch for potential support or bearish continuation.

MACD & RSI

MACD remains in negative territory, with the line at −0.00004 and the signal line crossing below it, signaling bearish momentum. The RSI is currently at 47, near the center, indicating a lack of overbought or oversold conditions. This suggests the pair may continue in a sideways consolidation phase until a breakout or breakdown occurs.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands have narrowed significantly over the last 6 hours, with the price hovering around the midline. This suggests low volatility and a possible pre-breakout period. If the price moves beyond the 0.0960 upper band, it could signal renewed bullish interest, while a close below 0.0945 would validate bearish control.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked sharply between 02:30–03:30 ET, coinciding with a failed attempt to push above 0.0960. The notional turnover mirrored the price movement, with no signs of divergence. The most recent bearish close at 0.0940 came on relatively low volume, indicating a lack of conviction from sellers at this level.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the most recent 15-minute swing (0.0964 to 0.0934), the 61.8% retracement level lies at 0.0952, which aligns with the 50-EMA and key support cluster. A break below 0.0945 would test the 78.6% level at 0.0939, potentially confirming a deeper pullback.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy could involve entering a short position when a bearish engulfing pattern forms near the 0.0960 resistance level, confirmed by a close below the open and a bearish MACD crossover. A stop-loss would be placed above 0.0965, with a take-profit at the 61.8% Fibonacci level (0.0952). This setup appears to align with recent price behavior and could be tested over a 100-candle (15-minute) historical period for statistical significance.
