Structure & Formations

Price action showed a strong test of support at 2.85e-06 in the early evening, followed by a minor bounce but limited follow-through. A bearish engulfing pattern was visible around 18:30 ET, followed by a doji at 19:15 ET, signaling indecision. On the higher timeframes, the 2.87e-06 level continues to act as a key psychological and technical level. Resistance is now at 2.88e-06 and 2.89e-06, with 2.86e-06 the immediate support ahead of 2.85e-06.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages have been converging in the lower half of the range, indicating potential short-term bearish bias. The 50-period MA crossed below the 20-period MA in the afternoon, forming a death cross in the short term. Daily moving averages show no major crossovers, with the 200-period MA acting as a baseline. A breakdown below the 50-period MA could trigger further testing of support levels.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram has been mostly bearish, with a weak attempt at a bullish crossover failing to hold. RSI on the 15-minute chart touched oversold territory in the late evening before rebounding, but without a clear reversal. A reading of 29.2 at the close suggests limited momentum to the downside but also lack of conviction to the upside. A breakout from the current range would need to be accompanied by a surge in RSI for confirmation.

Bollinger Bands

Price has been contained within the Bollinger Bands for much of the day, with the upper band peaking near 2.89e-06. A contraction in the bands occurred in the early evening, followed by a mild expansion, suggesting increased volatility. Currently, the price is sitting closer to the lower band, hinting at a potential mean reversion scenario. A sustained move outside the bands would signal a shift in volatility.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked in the early evening, particularly between 19:00–19:45 ET, but no breakout or reversal followed. This suggests that either the move was a false signal or that the buyers were unable to sustain the momentum. Notional turnover increased during this period as well, but volume and turnover diverged after 20:00 ET, raising questions about the strength of the bounce.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the 15-minute swing from 2.89e-06 to 2.79e-06, the price has tested the 61.8% level (2.84e-06) and is currently hovering near 78.6%. A break below 2.83e-06 could target 2.81e-06 or even 2.79e-06, aligning with the recent low. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement of the previous month's range sits at 2.84e-06, which could become a key level if the pair tests support again.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy leverages the recent price structure and volatility patterns to identify potential mean reversion opportunities within the Bollinger Band range. Specifically, it triggers a long signal when price touches the lower band with RSI in oversold territory and MACD showing divergence. A short signal is activated upon a close above the upper band with RSI in overbought territory. The strategy aims to capture tight-range trading and uses Fibonacci levels as profit targets and stop-loss levels for risk management. Given the current setup, a similar approach may work well in the near term, though divergence between volume and price action introduces a degree of uncertainty.
