Moving Averages & Momentum

The 20 and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart showed convergence below the price action, reinforcing the bearish bias. The daily chart indicates that the price closed below the 100 and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish in a longer-term context. The MACD histogram remains below the zero line, indicating sustained bearish momentum. The RSI has moved into oversold territory at 30, suggesting a potential reversal may be near, though confirmation is pending.

Volatility and Volume

The 24-hour range of ~0.1% reflects elevated volatility, supported by the Bollinger Band width expansion. Price remains near the lower band, indicating bearish pressure. The volume distribution was concentrated between 5.3811 and 5.3774, with significant buying and selling activity in that range. Notably, volume spiked during the downward leg, reinforcing the bearish trend. No major divergence between volume and price was observed, but caution is warranted as volume decreased during consolidation near the 24-hour close.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci levels to the recent 15-minute move from 5.3862 to 5.3752, key retracement levels include 5.3819 (38.2%) and 5.3785 (61.8%). Price briefly tested the 38.2% level at 5.3819 before retreating, while the 61.8% level at 5.3785 could act as a potential floor in the next 24 hours. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement level is near 5.3827, which may serve as a key resistance if the price recovers.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the bearish momentum and oversold RSI, a potential backtesting strategy could be designed using the 5.3756 support level as a buy trigger. A holding period of 5 days or until the price rises 2% from entry could be tested. A stop-loss at 5.3752 (1% below entry) and a take-profit at 5.3827 (61.8% retracement) could manage risk. Using this framework, historical price action could be evaluated to determine the effectiveness of this approach from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-02.
