Structure & Formations

Price saw a strong bearish breakout from a key resistance cluster near 0.2200–0.2250, followed by a retest and a breakdown below 0.2100. Notable candlestick patterns included a bearish engulfing pattern near 0.2140 and a dark cloud cover at 0.2241. A doji formed at 0.2160, signaling indecision after a short-term rebound. Key support levels to monitor are 0.2050, 0.2030, and 0.2010.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the price closed below both the 20-period (0.2134) and 50-period (0.2155) moving averages, confirming bearish bias. On the daily chart, the price remains below the 50-period (0.2281) and 200-period (0.2336) moving averages, reinforcing a downtrend scenario.

MACD & RSI

The RSI dropped sharply to 28, entering oversold territory, while the MACD line remained below the signal line with a bearish crossover. Momentum weakened significantly, with the RSI showing no immediate signs of rebound. A bounce above 0.2100 could spark a short-term overbought condition, but sustained strength seems unlikely without stronger volume confirmation.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded following the breakdown from 0.2100, with the 20-period Bollinger Bands widening to 0.0040. The price closed near the lower band (0.2046), consistent with bearish exhaustion. A contraction in band width or a retest of the upper band may indicate potential reversal points.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged during the midday sell-off, particularly around 0.2200–0.2100, with a peak of 1,796,609.0. However, turnover failed to confirm this strength, indicating a possible divergence in price and liquidity. The final 6 hours saw declining volume and turnover, suggesting market fatigue.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the 0.2255–0.2030 swing, the 61.8% level (0.2127) failed as support and became resistance. A bounce off the 38.2% level (0.2162) may provide a short-term target for bears. On the daily chart, the 61.8% level (0.2259) remains a key resistance if the pair attempts a reversal.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy described focuses on detecting bearish engulfing and dark cloud cover patterns, with volume confirmation and a retest of Fibonacci levels as entry triggers. A short entry would be considered after a clear bearish reversal candle forms near a key support level, with a stop placed just above the high of the confirmation candle and a target set at the 38.2% Fibonacci level. This aligns with the recent price action, where both candlestick patterns and volume surges suggested bearish momentum. Testing this approach over historical data could validate its efficacy in trending environments like the current one.
