On the 15-minute chart, the 20SMA and 50SMA crossed twice in the afternoon, indicating shifting momentum. The 20SMA briefly crossed above the 50SMA as price approached 1.223, forming a bullish signal, before reversing. RSI bottomed at 28 near 1.174, suggesting oversold conditions, but failed to close above 50 even after the rebound. The MACD crossed into negative territory before flipping to positive on the 1.21–1.23 rally, confirming the reversal but showing weak momentum.

Bollinger Bands & Volatility

Volatility expanded during the 1.174–1.249 move, with Bollinger Bands widening from ~1.190–1.220 to ~1.165–1.265. Price spent much of the session within the band, with a brief touch of the upper band at 1.246. A contraction was observed between 1.200–1.205, suggesting a potential reversal zone, but failed to trigger a breakout. The 1.225–1.227 doji appeared inside the band, indicating consolidation rather than a breakout attempt.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged during the 1.174–1.215 rebound, with a sharp increase in notional turnover during the 09:30–12:00 ET period. A divergence appeared between volume and price during the 1.227–1.235 consolidation phase, where volume declined despite price holding above 1.220. The largest single 15-minute volume spike occurred at 1.234–1.238, coinciding with the 1.235–1.240 resistance cluster.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci retracements on the 1.174–1.249 swing identified 38.2% at 1.213 and 61.8% at 1.235. Price held above the 1.213 level for most of the session but failed to break the 1.235–1.240 cluster. On the daily chart, a 1.175–1.249 move saw 38.2% at 1.212 and 61.8% at 1.233, closely aligning with key resistance.

Backtest Hypothesis

The provided backtest strategy involves entering long positions on bullish engulfing or inside bar patterns forming on the 15-minute chart, with stops placed below the pattern's low and targets at the 38.2% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels of the preceding bearish leg. Given the recent inside bar and engulfing patterns on 2025-09-10, and the alignment of Fibonacci levels with key resistance at 1.235–1.240, the setup suggests a potential trade entry around 1.225–1.227, with a stop below 1.218 and a target at 1.235. This strategy relies on volatility expansion and RSI divergence as confirmation signals, aligning well with the current market structure.
