Towns/Turkish Lira (TOWNSTRY) opened at 0.388 on 2025-11-05 12:00 ET, reached a high of 0.41, and closed at 0.399 on 2025-11-06 12:00 ET. The pair saw a total volume of 10.5 million and notional turnover of ~$4.2 million over the 24-hour window. A late-session rally lifted sentiment, though bearish pressure re-emerged near 0.396–0.402 as traders tested Fibonacci 61.8% support.

Structure and formations suggest a consolidation phase with key support at 0.394–0.396 and resistance at 0.402–0.405. A bullish engulfing pattern formed at 0.401–0.406 on 08:45 ET, aligning with the 50-period EMA. This pattern may signal a reversal from short-term bearishness. A key doji formed near 0.396 on 05:30 ET, indicating indecision ahead of the breakout.

The 20-period and 50-period EMAs are currently bullish, with the price trading above both. The 15-minute RSI reached overbought territory above 60, suggesting potential pullback risks, while the MACD line crossed the signal line at 0.401, supporting a continuation of the bullish phase. Bollinger Bands showed a modest expansion from 0.394 to 0.406, suggesting increased volatility. A 1.5% divergence between price and volume suggests caution; while volume surged at 0.406, price failed to push higher in the following session.

The market appears to be testing a 0.396–0.402 range, with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at 0.399 acting as a pivotal level. If 0.396 holds, a move toward 0.406 could follow. Divergence in volume and price during the 09:00–10:00 ET session suggests a possible retest of 0.394–0.396 in the next 24 hours. Traders may need to watch for a breakout or breakdown in the next 24 hours to confirm direction.

Backtest Hypothesis
The proposed backtesting strategy relies on detecting Bullish Engulfing candlestick patterns in daily OHLC data to generate long-entry signals. Once the pattern is confirmed, the strategy enters a position at the open of the next trading session and exits at the close of that session.

Applying this strategy to TOWNSTRY over the 2022–2025 period could yield valuable insights into its performance. A critical success factor for the strategy is the accurate identification of the TOWNSTRY ticker in the data source—whether it appears as “TOWNSTRY” (e.g., on TradingView or local exchanges) or in another format (e.g., “TOWNS-TRY” on Binance).

By aligning with the correct symbol and data format, the backtest can simulate the exact signal entry and exit points. This includes accounting for the typical spread and transaction costs for TOWNSTRY. Once the historical pattern dates are identified, performance metrics—such as win rate, average return, and drawdown—can be computed to assess the strategy’s viability.
