Structure & Formations

Price action in DAIJPY has been largely range-bound, with 153.44 acting as a key support level and 153.66 as a strong resistance. Multiple candles have touched 153.66 but failed to break above it, forming a potential bearish pattern. Doji and spinning top patterns are common during consolidation, suggesting indecision among market participants. A bearish engulfing pattern emerged briefly near 153.56–153.57 before price recovered slightly.

Moving Averages

Short-term averages like 20- and 50-period SMAs are closely aligned with the price, indicating little deviation from trend. On the daily chart, the 50- and 200-day moving averages are nearly flat, reflecting weak trend signals. Price remains above the 200-day average, which could offer some bullish sentiment for longer-term traders.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line remains near zero with no clear divergence, indicating low momentum. RSI is currently at 52, suggesting neutral market sentiment with no overbought or oversold conditions. However, repeated testing of 153.66 resistance may trigger a bearish signal if RSI fails to rise above 60 on a breakout attempt.

Bollinger Bands

Price has remained within the Bollinger Band midpoints for most of the 24-hour period, with a slight move toward the upper band in the late afternoon before retreating. No clear volatility expansion or contraction is observed, suggesting that the market remains in a low-energy consolidation phase.

Volume & Turnover

Volume is generally light during the early hours of the session, with spikes occurring around key levels like 153.66 and 153.44. The largest volume spike occurred at 12:00–12:15 ET, with over 11,000 units traded. Price and volume appear aligned, with higher volume supporting price consolidation near key levels. No significant divergence is observed.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci retracements applied to the most recent 15-minute swing from 153.33 to 153.66 suggest that 153.49 (38.2%) and 153.57 (61.8%) have acted as minor support/resistance. Price appears to be testing these levels multiple times, with a potential pivot point forming around 153.56–153.57. On the daily chart, no major Fibonacci levels are being tested at present.

Backtest Hypothesis

To proceed with the backtesting strategy, we must address the missing data issue for the ticker symbol “DAIJPY.” As the current data vendor cannot locate this specific symbol, we can either:
1. Confirm a correct exchange-specific ticker for DAI/JPY and retry the query, or
2. Construct DAI/JPY synthetically by using a stable 1:1 DAI/USD ratio and dividing by USD/JPY spot data from a known source.

If the synthetic approach is acceptable, we can then retrieve high price data from 1 Jan 2022 to 2025-11-08 and identify instances where the closing price broke above the prior 20-day high. We will assess the performance following these “resistance break” events using a 20-day look-back period.

Once the data is secured and confirmed, we can run the backtest and present results with an interactive chart showing the price reaction post-breakout. Please confirm your preferred data source or adjust the ticker accordingly.
