Structure & Formations

Price action showed a clear breakdown from a consolidation range that had formed between 0.2420 and 0.2480 over the earlier part of the 24-hour period. A long bearish candle at 2025-10-03 17:15 ET (high 0.2461 to low 0.2420) marked a potential key breakdown bar, followed by a cluster of bearish continuation patterns. By the morning of 2025-10-04, price settled into a downward channel, with key support levels identified at 0.2345 and 0.2320–0.2330. The low of 0.2315 marked a short-term floor that may act as a psychological barrier in the next 24 hours.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are both bearishly positioned, with price settling well below both. On the daily chart, the 50- and 200-period moving averages have been in bearish alignment for some time, suggesting a continuation of the downward trend remains likely. However, the 50-period line appears to be flattening, which may signal a short-term pause in the decline.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed into negative territory during the early hours of 2025-10-04 and has remained bearish with declining histogram bars, indicating sustained bearish momentum. The RSI has dropped below 30, entering oversold territory, but has not yet shown a strong reversal signal such as a bullish divergence or a sharp rebound. This suggests that while the move lower appears exhausted, a reversal is not yet confirmed.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Band volatility expanded significantly during the drop from 0.2460 to 0.2345 between 03:00 and 06:00 ET. Price closed below the lower band at 0.2322, indicating strong bearish pressure. The band width remains elevated, suggesting that the market is still in a volatile phase and may consolidate temporarily within the lower half of the expanded range.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the key breakdown at 17:15 ET and again during the early morning hours, particularly between 03:00 and 06:00 ET, as price accelerated lower. However, the most recent leg down has occurred on moderate volume, suggesting that the bearish impulse may be losing steam. Notional turnover has shown a slight divergence during the last leg down, which could be a sign of capitulation or early accumulation at these levels.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the key 15-minute swing from 0.2442 to 0.2484 and the larger daily move from 0.2442 to 0.2315, price has found temporary support at the 0.2345 (38.2% retrace) and 0.2320 (61.8% retrace). A break below 0.2320 could see price testing the 78.6% level at 0.2280. The next 24 hours may see a test of the 0.2345 level for a potential rebound or continuation lower.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy for this market involves a short-biased system that triggers on a breakdown of the 15-minute Fibonacci 61.8% level during a bearish trend, with a stop just above the nearest resistance or the high of the breakdown bar. The 20-period moving average can act as a trailing filter, with exits placed when price reclaims the 20-period MA or when RSI moves back into overbought territory. This setup would aim to capture the continuation of the recent bearish move while avoiding false breakouts by incorporating a trailing stop. Given the current setup, such a strategy appears to have a high probability of success over the next 48–72 hours.
