Price Action and Key Levels

Ethereum/Mexican Peso (ETHMXN) opened at 77,096 MXN at 12:00 ET − 1 and closed at 77,752 MXN at 12:00 ET, reaching a high of 77,752 MXN and a low of 76,200 MXN. Total volume was 2.7532 ETH, and notional turnover was approximately 213,393 MXN over the 24-hour period. The price action featured a sharp breakdown in the evening, followed by a rebound in the overnight session. A key bearish pattern emerged at 19:15 ET with a large bearish candle (77,024 to 76,737 MXN) and a bullish hammer at 03:15 ET (77,334 to 76,200 to 76,200 MXN). These levels may serve as key support and resistance for the near term.

Trend and Moving Averages

Short-term 15-minute moving averages (20/50) crossed over multiple times during the session, reflecting choppy momentum. The 20SMA moved above the 50SMA post 03:15 ET, suggesting a potential reversal. On the daily chart, ETHMXN remains below the 50DMA and 200DMA, indicating medium-term bearish bias despite the late recovery. Traders should watch for a break above the 77,752 MXN level for confirmation of bullish momentum or a retest of the 76,200 MXN level as a potential floor.

MACD and RSI Indicators

The MACD histogram turned positive after 03:00 ET, signaling a potential shift in momentum following the bearish breakdown. The RSI (14) dipped below 30 in the early morning hours, entering oversold territory, and later rebounded above 50, suggesting a possible short-term reversal. While the RSI has not reached overbought levels, the sharp rebound suggests a possible bounce. However, the lack of volume to support this bounce introduces uncertainty.

Bollinger Bands and Volatility

Price action remained within the Bollinger Bands for most of the session, with volatility contracting in the early part of the day. A sharp move downward pushed ETHMXN to the lower band, followed by a strong rebound to the upper band in the overnight hours. This indicates a period of low volatility giving way to a period of high volatility. The late rally brought ETHMXN to near the upper band, suggesting that the price may consolidate or retrace in the coming session if the move is not confirmed.

Volume and Turnover Analysis

Volume remained extremely low throughout the session, with notable spikes only in the 19:00–20:00 and 03:00–05:00 ET windows. These spikes coincided with the breakdown and rebound, but the volume levels were still below average for a significant price move. Notional turnover mirrored this pattern, with the 03:15 ET rebound seeing a volume of 0.4614 ETH and a turnover of ~35,739 MXN, indicating moderate conviction in the recovery. A divergence between price and turnover could suggest a weak rally or a potential reversal.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the 19:00–03:00 ET swing (high 77,024 MXN to low 76,200 MXN), ETHMXN closed near the 61.8% retracement level at 77,353 MXN. The 100% target of the 77,024–76,200 move is 77,848 MXN, which aligns closely with the 12:00 ET close. This suggests that the rebound may have reached a strong Fibonacci level and could face resistance in the next session. A break above 77,848 MXN would suggest a possible continuation, while a retest below 77,353 MXN could indicate a pullback.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy described earlier involves entering long positions when the RSI dips below 30 on the 15-minute chart and volume increases by at least 50% above the 1-hour average. ETHMXN demonstrated a suitable entry condition at 03:15 ET, with RSI at oversold levels and a volume spike of 0.4614 ETH. A stop-loss was placed at the 76,200 MXN level, with a target at 77,353 MXN (61.8% retracement). This setup would have captured the overnight rebound. Traders could consider this strategy for similar setups, provided volume confirmation and Fibonacci levels align with RSI signals.
