Structure & Formations
The chart displayed a sharp bullish breakout from 07:45 to 10:45 UTC, with price reaching 32.56 on strong volume, followed by a bearish reversal confirmed by a long upper shadow and a large bearish candle on the 15-minute chart. A key support was formed at
31.52–31.57, where price found a temporary floor. A bullish engulfing pattern at the open was followed by a strong bearish reversal at the 32.56 high, suggesting indecision and possible exhaustion.
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages were crossed multiple times, confirming intra-day volatility. Price briefly closed above both at 08:00 UTC but quickly dropped below, indicating a potential exhaustion of the bullish trend. On the daily timeframe, the 50-period MA was above the 100 and 200-period MAs, suggesting a bearish bias with a possible correction in progress.
MACD & RSI
The MACD line showed a strong bullish divergence in the early morning before turning bearish, confirming the reversal seen in price. The histogram peaked at 08:00 UTC and then sharply declined. RSI peaked at 76.3 before declining to 50.8 by close, confirming overbought conditions and a potential bearish correction. The oscillator remained above 50 for most of the day but showed signs of bearish fatigue as volume waned after 14:30 UTC.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility spiked during the bullish breakout, with price reaching the upper band at 32.56 before retracting sharply. The bands expanded from 31.7 to 32.56, and price retested the lower band at 31.53, indicating a temporary equilibrium. The retest of the lower band suggests a potential support level may hold if the trend reverses.
Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked significantly during the bullish breakout (727,379 units at 07:45 UTC), confirming the move. However, volume declined sharply after 14:30 UTC as price retracted, suggesting bearish conviction. Turnover also spiked during the morning rally and declined later in the session. Price and turnover were aligned during the bullish phase but diverged during the bearish correction, hinting at a weakening trend.
Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci to the key 31.6–32.56 swing, price retracted to 31.73 (38.2%), 31.62 (50%), and 31.57 (61.8%) during the pullback, with the 61.8% level acting as a temporary support. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement of the recent bearish move (from 32.56 to 31.32) is at 31.83, which may become a key resistance in the near term.
Backtest Hypothesis
A potential backtesting strategy could focus on using the 15-minute chart for intra-day trend-following entries with Fibonacci levels as exit targets. A long entry could be triggered on a bullish engulfing candle with volume above average, followed by a target at the 61.8% retracement level. A stop loss could be placed below the 50-period MA. This approach aligns with the observed price action, where bullish momentum was strong but short-lived, and Fibonacci levels provided key support/resistance.
