Structure & Formations

ETHARS formed several bearish and bullish reversal patterns across the 15-minute chart. A key bearish engulfing pattern emerged at 12:30 ET, confirming a breakdown from the 6131662.0 level. This was followed by a series of consolidation patterns and a doji at 06:15 ET, signaling indecision before a sharp break lower. A critical support level appears to have been established around 6061233.0, where price found a temporary floor multiple times. Resistance levels are currently clustered between 6113847.0 and 6138007.0.

Moving Averages and Bollinger Bands

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average remained below the 50-period line for most of the session, indicating a generally bearish bias. By the end of the period, the 20SMA crossed the 50SMA, forming a potential bullish crossover. Bollinger Bands showed significant expansion after 02:45 ET, with price touching the lower band multiple times, especially during the sharp pullback to 5944000.0. This expansion suggests increased volatility and a possible mean reversion opportunity in the near term.

MACD and RSI

The MACD histogram showed positive momentum in the early part of the session but turned sharply negative after 02:45 ET. This divergence between price and momentum suggests weakening bearish momentum. RSI oscillated between overbought and oversold levels, peaking at around 75 in the early morning before plunging below 30 later in the day. This pattern is consistent with a corrective bearish phase, though the lack of follow-through in volume raises questions about the sustainability of the move.

Volume and Turnover

Trading volume was unevenly distributed, with a sharp increase between 02:45 ET and 04:45 ET when a large volume of 1.27585 was recorded. This coincided with a rebound from support at 6061233.0, suggesting some buying interest. However, volume dropped significantly after 05:00 ET, which may indicate a lack of conviction in the upward move. Notional turnover also mirrored this pattern, with the highest turnover concentrated in the 02:45–04:45 ET window.

Fibonacci Retracements

Using the 15-minute swing high of 6225000.0 and the low of 5944000.0, the key Fibonacci retracement levels appear to be around 6076500.0 (38.2%) and 6133250.0 (61.8%). Price briefly touched the 61.8% retracement level before pulling back, suggesting some resistance at that level. The 60.0% retracement at 6088750.0 appears to be a potential support zone. On the daily chart, the 50% retracement of the broader move since early 2022 could serve as a watchpoint.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy assumes a close-hold for three trading days using closing prices as the basis for entries and exits. With ETHARS showing significant short-term volatility, such a strategy could capitalize on mean reversion or countertrend bounces within a defined time horizon. The recent 15-minute chart data suggest that the strategy may find opportunities in overbought/oversold RSI levels and volatility expansions observed in the Bollinger Bands. However, the erratic volume profile and lack of consistent trend continuation may challenge the effectiveness of a fixed-hold approach, particularly in a market where liquidity can shift rapidly.
