Structure & Formations

Price tested and held key support levels at 0.7115 and 0.7093 multiple times, indicating strong buying interest in these zones. A bullish engulfing pattern appeared around 15:45–16:00 ET after a sharp decline, suggesting a potential short-term reversal. A morning doji formed at 05:45–06:00 ET, signaling indecision during a pullback phase. The daily structure showed a defined base and rally, with resistance at 0.7229 and 0.7267 being tested multiple times.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages crossed multiple times during the day, with price frequently sitting above the 20-period MA during the rally. The 50-period MA remained a key support level in the morning and acted as a resistance in the afternoon. On the daily chart, the 50, 100, and 200-period MAs are closely aligned, with price hovering near the 50- and 100-period lines, suggesting a potential consolidation period following the recent move.

MACD & RSI

The MACD showed a positive divergence during the rally, confirming the bullish momentum, but the histogram began to flatten after 16:00 ET, suggesting exhaustion. RSI reached overbought territory multiple times (above 70), but price failed to sustain above 0.7267, indicating a lack of follow-through buying. RSI also showed a bearish divergence during the early morning pullback, suggesting potential for a short-term reversal. The momentum remains mixed, with bullish divergence in the afternoon but bearish signals in the early morning.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly during the midday rally, with price moving above the upper band at one point. A contraction occurred during the evening hours, suggesting a potential pause in price action. Price currently sits near the upper band once again, with the 20-period Bollinger Band structure showing that volatility is still elevated compared to earlier in the day. The next test of the upper band at 0.7267–0.7300 could determine the near-term direction.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the 15:00–16:00 ET rally and again at 15:15–16:00 ET during consolidation, with the latter showing a bearish price-volume divergence. Turnover spiked in line with volume during these periods, confirming the strength of the rally and the pullback. A divergence between volume and price is evident in the final hours, with volume declining despite a sideways price action, suggesting that buyers may be running out of steam.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the recent swing low at 0.6875 and high at 0.7295, key levels to watch include the 61.8% retracement at 0.7175 and the 38.2% at 0.7083. Price has held above both levels in the past 24 hours, with the 61.8% acting as a critical support. On the 15-minute chart, the 61.8% retracement at 0.7238 coincided with the 12:00 ET close, reinforcing its significance. A break below 0.7115 could target the 78.6% level at 0.7138.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy described focuses on short-term countertrend trades triggered by overbought RSI levels and bullish engulfing patterns. Given today’s action, a trade entry at 0.7238 (the 61.8% Fibonacci level and 12:00 ET close) would have been valid under the strategy, with a target at 0.7300 and stop-loss at 0.7175. This aligns well with the observed structure and momentum, making the strategy relevant for the DIAUSDT pair. The volume divergence in the afternoon also suggests the strategy could benefit from incorporating volume confirmation to avoid false signals.
