Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart showed a strong bullish impulse wave forming from 03:00–05:30 ET, where price pushed above 0.570 with multiple strong white candles and confirmed resistance. A bearish engulfing pattern formed at 07:45 ET, signaling potential short-term exhaustion. Additionally, a long-legged doji at 03:45 ET suggests indecision around 0.567–0.569, a critical psychological level.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period SMA (0.567) acted as dynamic resistance in the afternoon, while the 50-period SMA (0.565) held as a key support. The daily chart revealed a longer-term bearish bias with the 50-period SMA at 0.573 and the 200-period SMA at 0.577, both above the current close.

MACD & RSI

The 15-minute MACD showed a bearish crossover at 08:00 ET, aligning with the doji and suggesting momentum has flipped. RSI hovered near overbought levels (75) at 05:30 ET but declined sharply toward 45 by 08:00 ET, reinforcing the bearish momentum. A weak close at 0.558 indicates fading bullish conviction.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands contracted significantly after 18:00 ET, signaling a period of consolidation likely before a breakout. The low volatility period was followed by a sharp move toward the upper band at 0.575, which held briefly before price reversed. Price closed below the lower band at 0.558, suggesting a potential oversold condition, though it's not yet extreme.

Volume & Turnover

Volume peaked at 52,049.60 at 07:45 ET during the bearish engulfing pattern, aligning with a 1.1% drop in price. Turnover was highest between 03:00–05:30 ET as the price surged above 0.570, indicating strong institutional involvement. Divergence between volume and price in the late session suggests potential exhaustion on the short side.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci levels applied to the 0.560–0.575 swing showed price testing 61.8% at 0.568 twice, once on the way up and once on the retrace. The 50% level at 0.567 acted as a pivot point. Daily retracements from the 0.565–0.575 move also showed 38.2% at 0.568 and 61.8% at 0.562, which held temporarily as support before price broke lower.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the current structure and momentum indicators, a viable backtest hypothesis could be a breakout-based strategy targeting the 0.560–0.575 consolidation range. A long bias could be triggered on a close above 0.571, with stop-loss below 0.564 and a target at 0.575–0.580. Conversely, a short setup could be activated on a break below 0.562, with a stop above 0.565. This approach aligns with the RSI divergence, MACD bearish flip, and volume behavior observed in the final 6 hours of trading.
