Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci levels on the 15-minute chart highlighted key retracements at 0.1733 (61.8%) and 0.1703 (38.2%) during the morning rally. Daily retracements reinforced support at 0.1702 and resistance at 0.1764, both of which were tested during the session.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest results from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-10 reveal a total return of -1.76%, with an annualized return of 26.37%. Despite the strong annualized figure, the deep draw-down of -49.83% and low Sharpe ratio of 0.34 indicate high volatility and suboptimal risk-adjusted returns. The strategy's large dispersion between winning and losing trades suggests the need for tighter exit rules and enhanced risk management. Shorter MACD parameters, trend filters, and volatility-based position sizing could enhance performance.

Forward Outlook

The next 24 hours may see continued bullish momentum if the 0.1733 resistance level holds. A breakout above 0.1764 could signal a new leg higher, but investors should remain cautious of potential pullbacks due to overbought RSI and divergences in volume. As always, position sizing and stop-loss placement are key to managing risks in this volatile environment.
