Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages were closely aligned, with the price oscillating around them, suggesting a sideways trend. No clear crossover signals were observed during the 24-hour period. On the daily chart, the 50-period moving average was above the 100-period and 200-period moving averages, indicating a slightly bullish medium-term trend. However, the 50-period MA was flat, suggesting that momentum has yet to pick up.

MACD & RSI

The MACD remained near the zero line for most of the session, with no clear divergence or convergence signals. A brief positive divergence was noted around 19:30 ET when the price broke above support but the MACD did not confirm the move. The RSI hovered around 50 for most of the period, indicating neutral momentum. A short-lived overbought condition (RSI > 65) occurred at 21:30 ET, followed by a pullback. No significant oversold readings were observed.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility remained relatively compressed for the first 12 hours, with the price trading within a narrow range inside the Bollinger Bands. A sharp expansion occurred after 19:00 ET, as the price tested the lower band and then rebounded. The price spent most of the session in the upper half of the bands, suggesting a slight bullish bias. A contraction was noted at the end of the session, potentially indicating a period of consolidation.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked sharply during key turning points, such as the 19:30 ET support break and the 21:30 ET overbought condition. However, these surges did not confirm a strong directional bias, as the price failed to close decisively above the 6.32e-06 resistance. Turnover mirrored the volume pattern, with notable increases aligning with price reversals. No clear divergences were observed between price and volume, suggesting that the buying and selling pressure was balanced.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the recent 15-minute swing from 6.23e-06 to 6.32e-06, the 38.2% level at 6.27e-06 and the 61.8% level at 6.25e-06 acted as key support and resistance levels. The price tested the 61.8% level twice during the session, both times bouncing off. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement level of the recent weekly swing aligns with the 6.24e-06 support zone, reinforcing its importance.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy involves a breakout-based approach, triggering long entries when price closes above a 20-period moving average on the 15-minute chart, with a stop-loss placed below the recent low. Short entries are initiated when price closes below the 20-period moving average, with a stop-loss above the recent high. Given the recent sideways action and the absence of a clear trend, this strategy would likely remain on the sidelines until a directional bias emerges. A recent breakout above 6.32e-06 or a breakdown below 6.23e-06 could provide valid entry signals. The strategy appears to have reasonable risk-reward potential in a trending environment but may underperform in a range-bound market.
