Resistance was encountered near $579.0 and $581.0, particularly during the early morning hours in the last 24 hours. A potential bullish engulfing pattern formed near $575.4–$576.1, but it failed to confirm with follow-through buying, suggesting bearish pressure. A doji appeared near $576.5–$577.0, signaling indecision and a possible reversal point.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages suggest a mixed directional signal. The 20SMA is above the 50SMA but appears to be flattening, suggesting a potential pullback or consolidation. On the daily chart, the 50/100/200 SMA alignment suggests a neutral to slightly bearish trend, with the 200SMA acting as a psychological barrier around $578.0–$579.0.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed above the signal line during the late-night hours, indicating a short-term bullish momentum shift. However, the histogram is narrowing, suggesting the momentum could be losing steam. The RSI hovered near 70, indicating overbought conditions and a potential short-term pullback. A bearish divergence appeared on the RSI in the morning hours, suggesting caution for further buying.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands have widened significantly, indicating increased volatility, especially during the $574.1–$581.8 move. Price spent most of the 24-hour period within the bands but touched the upper band during the late-night breakout. The lower band acted as a support around $575.4–$576.2, where the price found a floor several times. A contraction phase may be forming at the close, suggesting a potential consolidation period ahead.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during key price levels, particularly near the high of $581.8 and the low of $574.1, suggesting strong participation during these price extremes. However, volume dropped significantly during the consolidation phase near $576.0–$578.0, which may signal a lack of conviction among buyers. Notional turnover closely aligned with price direction, with a sharp increase in turnover coinciding with the late-night breakout. Divergences were noted in the afternoon hours when price continued lower despite lower turnover.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the recent 15-minute swing from $575.4 to $581.8, the 38.2% level (~$578.6) acted as a minor support, while the 61.8% level (~$577.3) showed strong resistance. On the daily chart, the 38.2% level from a larger swing appears near $576.0–$577.0, which has been a key support zone multiple times over the last 24 hours.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy suggests using a long bias when price retests key Fibonacci support levels (38.2% and 61.8%) in conjunction with bullish candlestick patterns such as a bullish engulfing or a hammer. The strategy also recommends taking profits near resistance levels or when RSI reaches overbought territory. In this 24-hour window, a potential setup was seen near $576.2–$576.5 during a consolidation phase, where a bullish engulfing pattern and RSI divergence signaled a possible short-term reversal.
