The pair experienced a late-night rally where it surged from 29.31 to 31.12 in a 15-minute window, representing a 6.7% intra-candle move. Total 24-hour trading volume amounted to 13,604,342 units, while notional turnover reached ¥333,756,745.

Structure & Formations

DOGEJPY has tested several key levels in the past 24 hours, with the most notable being a 15-minute bullish engulfing pattern at 04:45 ET, where the pair closed at 29.68 after opening at 29.68 and trading as low as 29.53. This pattern suggested a potential short-covering rally but was not followed by significant volume or price confirmation. A larger bearish structure emerged from 30.98 down to 29.31, with a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at 30.40 appearing to hold as a psychological barrier.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages both sloped downward during the initial decline but began to flatten during the late-night rally. This divergence suggests a potential shift in momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA is currently at 29.85, above the 100-period MA at 29.70, and both are well below the 200-period MA at 29.60. This configuration indicates a generally bearish trend but with signs of short-term stabilization.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed into positive territory during the late-night rally, with a histogram that briefly spiked upward, confirming the sharp move. However, the signal line has since crossed back below the MACD line, indicating potential distribution. The RSI reached a peak of 75 during the rally, suggesting overbought conditions before retreating. This overbought level may act as a near-term ceiling unless volume increases significantly to push the pair higher.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility spiked during the late-night move, with the upper band expanding to 31.24 and the lower band contracting to 29.21. The closing candle at 30.98 is near the upper Bollinger Band, which suggests an overextended position that may see a pullback unless a new catalyst emerges. The bands have since begun to contract slightly, indicating a potential consolidation phase.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the late-night rally, with the candle that closed at 31.12 registering 328,861 units traded. This is significantly higher than the average 15-minute volume of around 100,000 units. However, volume has since declined, suggesting that the move may lack follow-through. Notional turnover reached a peak of ¥31.12 million during the rally, followed by a sharp drop in the following candle, signaling possible profit-taking.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the 15-minute swing from 29.53 to 31.12 shows key levels at 30.45 (38.2%) and 30.14 (61.8%). The 38.2% level was tested and held briefly during the morning session. The 61.8% level may act as a support zone if the pair experiences a short-term pullback. On the daily chart, the 61.8% Fibonacci level of the larger bearish move from 31.24 to 29.31 is at 30.32, which may offer near-term support.

Backtest Hypothesis

The presence of the bullish engulfing pattern at 04:45 ET could serve as the basis for a backtesting strategy focusing on short-term reversal signals. A potential strategy might involve entering long at the close of the engulfing candle with a stop below the low of the pattern and a target at the 38.2% Fibonacci level. Given the current consolidation phase and lack of follow-through volume, this setup could be evaluated for its efficacy over similar 15-minute candlesticks in historical data. The hypothesis would require a reliable dataset of past Bullish Engulfing events to confirm its predictive power.
