Structure & Formations

The candlestick pattern shows a mixed bias, with a notable long lower shadow at 20:30 ET and a large bullish engulfing pattern at 18:15 ET, which failed to confirm a reversal. A bearish harami forms at 07:00 ET, indicating a potential pullback. Key support levels appear near $4.86e-6 and $4.7e-6, while resistance clusters around $5.03e-6 and $5.13e-6. A potential bearish breakdown appears to be forming as prices struggle to break above 5.13e-6.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are converging downward, with price hovering below the 50 MA, suggesting a bearish tone. On the daily chart, the 200 MA appears to act as a strong support at $4.75e-6, and the 50 MA is currently at $4.95e-6, aligning with recent price consolidations. Price appears to be testing the 100 MA as resistance, with mixed outcomes.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram shows a mixed signal with some divergence in the lower end of the price range, indicating potential exhaustion in the bearish momentum. RSI remains in the 30–50 range, suggesting moderate bearish pressure without entering oversold territory. While RSI shows no overbought signals, it also lacks a strong bullish bias, indicating a lack of conviction on either side.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands show a moderate expansion during the session, especially around 18:15 ET and 20:30 ET, reflecting increased volatility. Price remains below the mid-band for most of the session, suggesting a bearish tilt. A contraction of the bands is observed near the end of the session, potentially hinting at a period of consolidation.

Volume & Turnover

Volume is concentrated in the 18:15 ET to 20:30 ET window, with a peak of $15,822.3 units at 18:15 ET. This aligns with the price testing the $5.13e-6 resistance. However, volume declines sharply after 20:30 ET, which could signal weakening bullish conviction. Turnover aligns with volume spikes but remains below average in the final 6 hours, indicating reduced participation from large players.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci levels drawn on the 15-minute swing from $4.7e-6 to $5.21e-6 show a 38.2% retrace at $4.98e-6 and a 61.8% retrace at $4.87e-6. Price tested both levels with mixed success, suggesting a possible retracement phase. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retrace level sits near $4.84e-6, which was briefly tested and rejected during the session.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy could involve a mean-reversion approach using 50-period moving averages and RSI levels below 40 as entry triggers. Given the recent volatility and price hovering near key Fibonacci retracements, a short-term entry on a break below the 61.8% level at $4.87e-6 could be considered with a stop-loss above $4.95e-6. This strategy may align with the observed RSI and volume divergence, enhancing the probability of a bearish outcome in the next 24–48 hours.
