Price action was characterized by a sharp dip and partial retracement, suggesting potential turning points.

Structure & Formations

The price action formed a bearish breakdown at 0.2715, confirmed by a bearish engulfing pattern and a lower low. A subsequent bullish reversal in the final 4 hours suggests a test of this level. A key resistance was observed around 0.2745, where multiple candles found difficulty breaking higher. A doji appeared at 0.2717, hinting at indecision and potential reversal. The 0.2715–0.2720 range now serves as a critical support zone, while 0.2755 may act as an initial resistance.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages crossed into bullish territory in the final hours, indicating a possible short-term reversal. The 50-period average on the daily chart remained above the price, reinforcing a bearish bias. A cross above 0.2755 would likely see the 50-day MA act as resistance, but with the 20-period MA showing strength, a retest of the 50-period MA is possible.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed into positive territory in the final 4 hours, suggesting a shift in momentum. However, the histogram showed a slight divergence as price moved higher without a proportional increase in bullish momentum. RSI hit an oversold level of 30 around 0.2701 before sharply rising to 58, signaling exhaustion and a potential rebound. A retest of 0.2701 may trigger RSI oversold conditions again, but a break above 0.2755 could bring RSI into overbought territory.

Bollinger Bands & Volatility

Bollinger Bands contracted between 0.2715 and 0.2720, indicating a period of consolidation before a sharp move. The recent expansion saw the price test the upper band at 0.2774 and the lower band at 0.2701. Price has since re-entered the band, near the upper half, suggesting potential for further upside. The width of the bands increased sharply in the last 4 hours, confirming rising volatility.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked at key turning points: 0.2701 and 0.2755. Notional turnover aligned with these volume surges, indicating strong participation. A divergence appeared at the 0.2701 low, where price dropped sharply, but turnover did not rise proportionally—suggesting possible accumulation. A second volume spike at 0.2755 confirmed the retest, but a bearish divergence may emerge if price rises without matching turnover.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the recent swing from 0.2774 to 0.2701, key levels include 38.2% (0.2731), 50% (0.2737), and 61.8% (0.2743). Price has tested all three in the last 6 hours, with the 61.8% level acting as a strong pivot. The 0.2745–0.2755 range represents a cluster of 61.8% and psychological levels, making it a likely zone for continued consolidation or breakout.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtest strategy could involve entering long on a break above the 61.8% Fibonacci level (0.2743) with a stop-loss at the recent low of 0.2715 and a take-profit at the 0.2774 high. This setup would capitalize on the recent accumulation and short-term bullish reversal signs. Given the volume confirmation and MACD divergence, this strategy could be tested on a rolling 15-minute basis over the last 7 days. The strategy would be invalidated if price closes below 0.2720 within the next 24 hours, signaling a return to bearish control.
