Structure & Formations

Price broke through key support at 4.320 during the early evening session, followed by a sharp decline to 4.310–4.311. A bearish engulfing pattern formed between 22:15 and 22:30 ET, confirming downward pressure. A doji appeared at 08:30 ET, suggesting indecision after a brief rebound attempt. Key resistance levels now include 4.320–4.322 and 4.327, while support is seen at 4.313–4.315 and potentially 4.310.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA (15-min) dropped below the 50-period MA, signaling bearish crossover. The 50-period MA crossed under the 100-period MA on the daily chart, suggesting ongoing bearish bias. Price remains below all major moving averages, reinforcing a downtrend structure.

MACD & RSI

MACD turned negative and crossed below the signal line, with bearish divergence in the final hours. RSI reached oversold territory near 30–32 by 09:00 ET, offering a potential short-term bounce scenario. However, bearish momentum dominated the session, especially during the late-ET and overnight hours.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands contracted during mid-session, with price near the middle band, before expanding dramatically in the final 6 hours. Price closed near the lower band, indicating potential exhaustion in the downtrend or a short-term bounce. A break below 4.310 would suggest further bearish expansion.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked dramatically in the late-ET session, with the 23:30 and 23:45 ET candles showing volumes of 181,679 and 170,948, respectively. However, turnover lagged in the final hours, with price falling to 4.310–4.311 despite declining trade volume, suggesting weak conviction in the bearish move.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, price found temporary support at the 61.8% retracement level of the 4.334–4.310 swing. Daily Fibonacci levels also showed price near the 38.2% retracement of the recent major bearish leg. A test of the 4.313 support may trigger a 50% retracement bounce back toward 4.316–4.317.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy for USDCRON could involve a bearish breakout trigger on a 15-minute chart when price closes below the 20-period MA and volume exceeds the previous hour’s 3-period volume average. Stops could be placed above the 50-period MA, with targets at the 61.8% Fibonacci level and beyond. Given today’s behavior, such a strategy would have been triggered late in the 23:30 candle and exited at 09:00 as price approached oversold territory. This approach could be refined for use in high-volume bearish environments like today’s.
