Structure & Formations

Price remained in a defined 0.0556–0.0578 range over the past 24 hours, with 0.0563 acting as a strong pivot level. A bullish engulfing pattern emerged around 08:45–09:00 ET, confirming a short-term recovery. A doji at 06:15 ET signaled indecision, and a bearish harami at 17:15 ET suggested a temporary pause. Support at 0.0556 and resistance at 0.0564–0.0573 were key psychological levels that saw multiple tests.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period SMAs were aligned around 0.0561–0.0562, confirming a neutral bias. Price spent much of the period above the 50SMA, indicating a possible short-term bullish tilt. However, the 50SMA has acted as a minor resistance, with price rebounding off it multiple times. On the daily chart, the 50DMA and 200DMA were converging at 0.0560–0.0562, offering potential confluence for near-term direction.

MACD & RSI

The MACD moved into positive territory after 05:00 ET, confirming a recovery in momentum. A bullish crossover occurred around 09:30 ET, aligning with a breakout above 0.0563. However, the RSI reached overbought territory above 65 in the 13:00–14:00 ET window, suggesting a potential consolidation before further gains. RSI has since pulled back to 58–60, indicating balanced but still elevated momentum.

Bollinger Bands showed a tightening phase between 12:00–16:00 ET, followed by a volatility expansion after 17:00 ET. Price spent most of the period in the middle band, with a few excursions near the upper band during the breakout to 0.0578. This suggests that while the pair is consolidating, it’s not under strong pressure to break out either direction—yet.

Volume & Turnover

Volume increased significantly during the breakout to 0.0578–0.0581, with the largest single candle (13:00–13:15 ET) seeing 4.437 million volume and 255,000 USD in turnover. This aligns with the price action and confirms the strength of the move. However, a divergence appears in the 14:30–15:45 ET period, where price continued to consolidate but volume dropped below 300k, suggesting fading momentum.

Fibonacci Retracements

Key retracements from the 0.0556–0.0573 swing showed 0.0562 (38.2%) and 0.0565 (61.8%) as relevant levels. Price tested these multiple times, with the 61.8% level acting as a soft ceiling. On the daily chart, retracements from the 0.0547–0.0581 swing suggest 0.0563 as a critical level for near-term direction. A move above 0.0573 would target the next Fibonacci extension at 0.0585.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy focuses on combining MACD crossovers and RSI divergence to identify potential breakout and reversal points. Specifically, it triggers a long signal when the MACD crosses above the signal line and RSI shows a bullish divergence (i.e., price makes a lower low but RSI a higher low). Given the observed MACD crossover around 09:30 ET and RSI divergence during the consolidation phase, the strategy would have triggered a long signal. A stop loss could be placed just below 0.0556, while a take profit could target the 0.0565–0.0573 range. The recent volume confirmation on the breakout also aligns with the strategy’s emphasis on liquidity and momentum.
