Market Action and Structure

THENA/Turkish Lira (THETRY) opened at 11.53 on October 21 at 12:00 ET, and over the next 24 hours, it dropped to a low of 10.518 before closing at 10.735 at 12:00 ET the following day. The session featured sharp bearish momentum starting around 5:00 PM ET, marked by a bearish engulfing pattern and a strong volume spike.

Indicators and Momentum

The 15-minute MACD turned bearish during the downward leg, with the histogram shrinking to indicate weakening momentum. RSI fell below 30 at 10:00 AM ET, signaling potential oversold conditions, though a rebound may still be some time away. Volatility, as measured by Bollinger Bands, expanded significantly during the move down, with price lingering near the lower band. The 20-period EMA dipped below the 50-period EMA, reinforcing the bearish bias on shorter timeframes.

Volume and Turnover Insights

Volume and notional turnover increased sharply during the critical 10:00 AM ET bar, where price fell from 10.556 to 10.546. This move coincided with a high-volume candle and the largest turnover of the day at $97.5 million, suggesting institutional selling pressure. However, volume declined during the subsequent rebound, indicating possible distribution. A divergence between price and volume may suggest caution for further downside.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the strong bearish momentum and RSI entering oversold territory (RSI < 30), a potential backtest strategy could be based on entering short positions when RSI(14) falls below 30 and price closes below the 20-period EMA. The 14-day holding period would aim to capture the continuation of the downtrend. A stop-loss could be placed above the most recent swing high (10.879), while the target could be based on the 61.8% Fibonacci level at 10.518. This setup aligns with today’s price action and could be refined using the correct symbol—such as “THETA-TRY” if the ticker “THETRY” was incorrect.
