Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart revealed a bearish consolidation phase in the early part of the session, followed by a bullish breakout near the 3.01e-06 level toward the end of the day. Key support levels are identified at 2.86e-06 and 2.84e-06, both of which were tested and held. Notable resistance appears at 3.01e-06 and 3.05e-06. A bullish engulfing pattern formed between 2025-10-12 15:00 ET and 15:15 ET, suggesting potential upward momentum. A doji formed near 3e-06, indicating indecision after the late rally.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages remain bearish, with the price consistently below both. For the daily chart, the 50-period MA is trending upward, indicating potential support for a short-term bullish bias. The 200-period MA remains bearish but not decisively bearish. Price is currently between the 50 and 200 MA, suggesting a possible equilibrium or early breakout phase.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line remains below the signal line, with a recent narrowing of the histogram suggesting weakening bearish momentum. The RSI indicator moved from a bearish territory into neutral, with a reading near 50, indicating no immediate overbought or oversold conditions. A divergence is forming between the MACD and price as the latter surges late in the day, signaling potential for a short-term correction or continuation.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands remained compressed for most of the session, indicating a low-volatility environment. The late rally pushed the price to the upper band, marking a volatility expansion. The price closed near the upper band, suggesting a breakout or continuation may be in play. The middle band remains bearish, and the price is currently above it, which could indicate a short-term bullish bias.

Volume & Turnover

Volume was relatively low in the morning but spiked sharply after 20:00 ET, reaching a peak of 7920.77 units in one 15-minute interval. Turnover also spiked during this period, confirming the price action. The late rally was accompanied by increased volume and turnover, indicating genuine conviction behind the move. A divergence is observed between price and volume at the 3.01e-06 level, suggesting possible exhaustion or strength depending on context.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci retracements applied to the recent 15-minute swing (2.84e-06 to 3.05e-06) show the 61.8% retracement at 2.92e-06 and 38.2% at 2.95e-06. The 61.8% level was tested and held, providing strong support. The 38.2% level was also a minor area of resistance. On the daily chart, key Fibonacci levels are at 2.92e-06 (61.8%) and 3.01e-06 (78.6%), with the former showing recent support and the latter acting as resistance.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy proposes a mean-reversion approach using RSI and Bollinger Bands on the 15-minute timeframe. It suggests entering long positions when the RSI falls below 30 and the price crosses below the lower Bollinger Band, then exiting when the RSI crosses above 50 or when the price re-enters the Bollinger Band range. Based on today's data, such a strategy would have triggered a short signal earlier in the session and a long signal around the 3.01e-06 level. While the late rally supports a continuation of the long bias, volatility remains elevated and positions should be managed carefully.
