SOLMXN opened at 3990 MXN (12:00 ET–1) and reached a high of 4146 MXN before closing at 4148 MXN (12:00 ET) today. The 24-hour period saw a total volume of 38.218 SOL and a notional turnover of approximately 155,669.12 MXN. Price action featured a sharp rally and a bearish reversal at session highs, with low volume preceding key price moves.

Structure & Formations

Price action on the 15-minute chart revealed a bearish reversal candle at the session high, confirming 4146 MXN as a short-term resistance. The prior bullish thrust was followed by a consolidation phase with multiple doji and small bodies, indicating indecision. A key support level appears to have formed near 4090 MXN, where price briefly found a floor after the morning rally.

Moving Averages

The 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart are converging from above, suggesting a potential slowdown in bullish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA remains below the 200-period MA, indicating a mixed outlook. The 50/200 crossover on a daily basis would need to occur for a broader reversal to gain strength.

MACD & RSI

The RSI closed near 68, signaling overbought conditions and suggesting a potential pullback. The MACD line remained above the signal line, indicating residual bullish momentum, but its divergence from price suggests weakening momentum as the session progressed. The histogram showed a slight contraction, implying a possible shift in market sentiment.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands experienced a moderate expansion during the final hours of trading, coinciding with the price break above 4100 MXN. Price closed near the upper band, a sign of heightened volatility and a potential overextension of the rally. A retest of the lower band at ~4090 MXN could confirm short-term stability.

Volume & Turnover

Turnover remained subdued for the first 10 hours of the session, with volume hovering near zero in most intervals. A spike in volume occurred around 1500 ET, coinciding with the bearish reversal candle and the 4146 MXN high. However, the large volume did not sustain the move higher, and price reversed lower, indicating possible profit-taking or short-term profit realization.

Fibonacci Retracements

A 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent bullish leg from 3980 MXN to 4146 MXN aligns closely with the 4090 MXN level, where price found support. A 38.2% retracement aligns with 4110 MXN, a potential resistance on any near-term rebound. These levels may offer key decision points for short-term traders.

Backtest Hypothesis

The provided backtesting strategy focuses on detecting sharp 15-minute spikes in price and volume, which could signal short-term directional bias or reversals. Given the 15-minute chart’s behavior today—particularly the rapid rally and bearish reversal at 4146 MXN—such a strategy would have captured the key move and flagged the subsequent consolidation. A potential refinement might include confirming the reversal with RSI divergence and volume contraction, as seen in the 154500 candle, which reversed lower on weak volume. Testing this approach over multiple cycles could help assess its consistency across varying volatility regimes.
