Structure & Formations

The price formed multiple bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, particularly between 17:30 and 18:45 ET, suggesting indecision in the market. A large-volume candle formed at 17:30 ET, opening at 18.43 and closing at 18.45, but failed to maintain the break above 18.46, indicating rejection. A doji formed near 22:00 ET, signaling a pause in momentum and a potential reversal. Key support levels appear to be forming around 18.43, with resistance consolidating at 18.46 and 18.48.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages were closely aligned, oscillating within a narrow band between 18.43 and 18.45. This suggests a consolidation phase with no clear trend. The daily 50/100/200-period moving averages also showed minimal separation, reinforcing the sideways nature of the market. Price remained within a narrow range of these averages, with no clear breakout above or below.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram showed a low but steady positive momentum during the late evening and night hours, but failed to push further above the zero line, indicating lack of conviction. The RSI remained between 45 and 55 for most of the session, pointing to a neutral market with no overbought or oversold conditions. A brief dip below 45 occurred in the early morning, but the indicator quickly returned to neutral territory without triggering a reversal.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility remained compressed for most of the session, with price staying within the Bollinger Bands and frequently trading near the midline. A mild contraction occurred in the evening hours, followed by a slight expansion as price approached the upper band at 18.48. This suggests a period of quiet buildup, but without a strong breakout. Traders may watch for a potential reversal or continuation if the bands begin to widen further in the next 24 hours.

Volume & Turnover

Volume showed a peak at 17:30 ET with a trade of 162,389 units, but price failed to sustain the move above 18.46, suggesting weakness in the move. Turnover also spiked during this time, but the price action did not confirm the increase, indicating possible distribution or fading of the breakout attempt. Late-night and early morning volumes were relatively low, with a few moderate spikes suggesting retail activity and range trading.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the most recent 15-minute swing from 18.41 to 18.48, key levels of 38.2% (18.44) and 61.8% (18.46) were tested multiple times without a clear break. The 38.2% level currently acts as a support/resistance zone, with price bouncing off it several times during the session. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement of a recent weekly range may offer a critical level for the next potential move.

Backtest Hypothesis

The described backtesting strategy focuses on a momentum-based entry triggered by a breakout of the 15-minute Bollinger Band, confirmed by a closing candle above (or below) the upper (or lower) band with volume above the 20-period average. Given the current conditions, this strategy would have faced challenges over the past 24 hours, as price attempted but failed to break out of the compressed range. A refined approach could include a trailing stop at the 20-period moving average or a wait for a retest of the broken level for confirmation before entering. This aligns with the observed behavior of price failing to confirm volume spikes and retesting key levels before continuing.
