The price action indicates a volatile and mixed session driven by both bullish and bearish momentum.

Structure & Formations

The session saw a sharp upward thrust from $0.1658 to $0.1709 in the early hours, followed by a significant pullback. A key resistance level appears at $0.1709, while $0.1658–$0.1665 acted as a support cluster. A bearish engulfing candle formed near the high of the session, signaling a potential reversal. A long lower shadow at the $0.1606 level also suggests short-term support, with the potential for a rebound from this area.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages crossed in a bullish direction during the early part of the session, but later crossed back in a bearish direction as the price fell. On a daily time frame, the 200-day MA remains above the 50-day and 100-day MAs, suggesting longer-term bearish bias despite short-term fluctuations.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed above the signal line early in the session, supporting the initial bullish move, but later crossed back below, aligning with the pullback. The RSI peaked near 70, indicating overbought conditions and a possible reversal. It has since dropped to mid-50s, suggesting equilibrium and potential for further correction or consolidation.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands widened significantly during the late evening and early night hours, matching the price surge. The move above the upper band suggests a potential short-term overextension, while the retracement has brought the price back near the middle band. A period of consolidation may be expected before the next directional move.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the rally to $0.1709, with a peak of 50,994.8 in the 22:15 candle. This was followed by a sharp drop in volume during the downward correction, suggesting a lack of follow-through buying pressure. Notional turnover mirrored this pattern, with the highest turnover occurring during the peak of the rally. The divergence between price and volume during the pullback suggests weakening bullish momentum.

Fibonacci Retracements

Key Fibonacci levels from the recent $0.1606 low to the $0.1709 high include 38.2% at $0.1651 and 61.8% at $0.1686. The price found resistance near the 61.8% level and retreated sharply, confirming a bearish reaction. A breakdown below the 38.2% level may indicate further downside toward the $0.1606 area.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the RSI overbought condition observed at the session high, a potential backtest strategy could involve shorting or closing long positions when RSI crosses above 70 and entering long positions when RSI drops below 30. A stop-loss could be placed 2% below entry, and take-profit at 5%. Using the 14-period RSI and a daily time frame, this strategy could be tested from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-09.
