Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart shows a bearish divergence in the 18:30–20:30 ET period, marked by a large bearish engulfing pattern at 20:30 ET. This confirmed the breakdown of a prior consolidation level at 0.01596. A notable doji formed at 21:30 ET, suggesting indecision and a possible near-term reversal. Support levels to watch include 0.01580 and 0.01550, while resistance lies at 0.01616 and 0.01625.

Moving Averages

The 15-minute chart shows the 20-period moving average below the 50-period MA, confirming the bearish bias. On the daily chart, price remains above the 200-period MA, indicating a longer-term bullish bias. However, the 50-period MA is currently bearish, suggesting mixed near-term momentum.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line turned negative after 19:00 ET, with bearish divergence evident between 20:00–22:00 ET. The RSI dropped below 30 between 20:30–21:30 ET, indicating oversold conditions, but failed to generate a strong rebound. This suggests potential exhaustion in the short-term rally rather than a strong reversal.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly during the breakdown from 0.01616 to 0.01528, pushing the price near the lower band of the Bollinger bands. This expansion confirmed the bearish move but did not yet signal a reversal. The current price of 0.01623 is near the middle band, suggesting a possible consolidation phase.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked sharply between 20:30 and 21:30 ET, coinciding with the breakdown to 0.01528. This confirms bearish conviction at that level. However, volume has remained muted since 03:00 ET, indicating reduced buying pressure. Turnover was consistent with the volume, without significant divergence.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the most recent 15-minute move from 0.01625 to 0.01528, key levels to watch include 0.01566 (38.2%) and 0.01593 (61.8%). The price briefly touched 0.01560 and appears to be consolidating near 0.01623.

Backtest Hypothesis

To evaluate potential RSI-based mean reversion, a backtest could be executed using the RSI-oversold condition (RSI ≤ 30). Assuming a 1-day holding period and using historical data, such a strategy could help identify whether oversold conditions have historically led to rebounds. However, the recent RSI signal at 20:30 ET did not trigger a strong rally, suggesting caution in relying on RSI alone without additional confirmation.
