Structure & Formations

Price formed a bearish continuation pattern following the early morning breakdown. A sharp selloff from 1.76e-6 to 1.54e-6 in just 2.5 hours indicated strong selling pressure. The subsequent consolidation around 1.54e-6 and 1.55e-6 suggests a potential support zone. No significant bullish or bearish engulfing patterns emerged, though a series of bearish inside bars near the close indicated potential exhaustion in the selloff.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period SMAs crossed below key support levels late in the session, confirming the bearish bias. The daily chart showed the 50-period SMA sitting above the 200-period SMA, indicating a broader bearish trend. Price closed below all key moving averages, reinforcing the bearish setup.

MACD & RSI

MACD lines turned negative late in the session, with the histogram showing a gradual narrowing, suggesting weakening bearish momentum. RSI approached oversold territory (below 30) by the end of the session, suggesting a possible near-term reversal or pullback. However, without a confirming bullish candlestick, overbought buyers remain hesitant.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded during the selloff from 1.76e-6 to 1.54e-6, pushing price down to the lower Bollinger band. As price consolidated around 1.54e-6, volatility began to contract again, suggesting a potential low-activity phase ahead. Price remained within the bands for the majority of the session, indicating no strong breakout attempts.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged during the early morning selloff, peaking at 299,571.5 units. However, volume then declined significantly after 07:00 ET, suggesting reduced conviction in the downward move. Notional turnover also dropped during the consolidation phase, aligning with the bearish volume pattern. Price and turnover appeared to converge during the selloff, confirming bearish sentiment.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci levels to the recent swing from 1.76e-6 to 1.37e-6 showed price stabilizing near the 38.2% retracement at 1.58e-6 and 61.8% at 1.54e-6. A close below the 1.54e-6 level could signal a deeper correction, while a retest of 1.58e-6 could offer a short-term rebound opportunity.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy focuses on low-volatility consolidation phases followed by a breakout of the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level as a potential reversal signal. Given today’s data, the setup appears to fit the criteria: after a sharp decline and consolidation, a retest of the 1.58e-6 level could serve as a trigger point. Traders might look for a bullish candlestick above this level with a volume rebound to confirm the reversal. However, without a clear breakout confirmation, entering a long position carries the risk of being caught in a false rally. The strategy may perform best in environments where volatility returns after a period of contraction and where trendlines align with key Fibonacci levels.
