Bollinger Bands

Price traded near the lower Bollinger Band for much of the session, with a noticeable expansion in volatility during the decline to 1.305. This expansion may indicate a possible bounce, but bearish continuation is also a valid outcome.

On the 15-minute chart, price found support at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level (1.309), indicating a potential short-term floor. On the daily chart, the 38.2% level (1.325) acted as resistance earlier in the day before giving way.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy described utilizes a combination of RSI divergence and bearish engulfing patterns on the 15-minute chart to trigger sell entries. Given the recent bearish engulfing pattern and RSI nearing oversold levels, this setup could provide a high-probability entry for a short trade near 1.313. A stop-loss could be placed above 1.322, with a target near 1.305. The recent volume and turnover dynamics also support this setup, indicating strong conviction in the downward move.
