Structure & Formations

Price action displayed a key resistance cluster between 2.30e-05 and 2.32e-05, with multiple failed attempts to reclaim these levels. A bearish engulfing pattern formed around 07:30 ET, followed by a bearish harami at 08:45 ET, both signaling continued short-term pressure. Key support near 2.28e-05 held three times, most recently at 12:00 ET, though it appears fragile as volume on the last close was weak.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, price closed below the 20 and 50 SMA, reinforcing the bearish bias. The 50-period line hovered around 2.295e-05, acting as a dynamic resistance. Longer-term, the daily 50/100/200 SMA structure is not fully defined due to limited data, but price closed below the 100 SMA at 2.305e-05, suggesting further downward risk if the 2.28e-05 support breaks.

MACD & RSI

The RSI closed at 37, indicating oversold conditions, but lacked a rebound, suggesting bearish exhaustion may continue. MACD remained negative, with the histogram contracting after the morning sell-off, indicating a slowdown in bearish momentum. A potential reversal could occur if RSI moves above 40 with confirmation from volume and price.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded in the morning (from 06:00 to 08:45 ET), pushing price to the upper band before a sharp contraction. Price has since consolidated within a narrow range, staying near the lower band, a sign of weak conviction. A break above the middle band at 2.30e-05 would signal a potential bullish rebound, but this would need to be supported by a closing above the 20-period SMA.

Volume & Turnover

Volume peaked during the morning sell-off, with an outflow of over 2,000 units between 06:00 and 08:45 ET. Turnover was concentrated in two large moves: a sell-off from 07:15 to 08:30 ET and a late rally between 09:15 and 10:45 ET. Price and turnover diverged during the last hour of the session, with rising price and falling volume, suggesting a lack of follow-through in the short-covering move.

Fibonacci Retracements

Recent 15-minute swings suggest key Fibonacci levels at 2.305e-05 (38.2%), 2.29e-05 (50%), and 2.275e-05 (61.8%). Price has tested the 50% level multiple times without a strong reversal, suggesting the 61.8% level could be the next critical support if the trend continues lower.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the recurring rejection at the 2.30e-05 and 2.32e-05 resistance levels, as well as the inability of the RSI to recover above 40, a mean-reversion strategy could be tested. This would involve entering a short position when price closes below the 50-period SMA on the 15-minute chart, with a stop above the nearest Fibonacci resistance (38.2% at 2.305e-05) and a target at the 61.8% level. Exit would be triggered on a confirmed break above the 50 SMA with bullish candlestick confirmation (e.g., a bullish engulfing or hammer pattern). This strategy could be further refined by incorporating volume spikes as confirmation of trend strength.
