Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart revealed a strong bullish breakout in the morning, with a high of 1.097 forming as a potential short-term resistance. A series of bearish engulfing patterns developed between 14:00 and 15:00 ET, suggesting a reversal in sentiment. A doji around 1.055 marked indecision and may act as a pivot point for near-term direction. The 1.04–1.05 zone appears to be a critical support area based on repeated tests and buying activity.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages crossed during the morning rally, confirming a bullish trend. By midday, the 50-period MA had crossed below the 20-period MA, indicating a potential bearish crossover. On the daily chart, the 50/100/200 MAs remain in a bullish alignment, though the 50 MA is approaching the 100 MA, which could signal a slowdown in the uptrend.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line turned negative after the morning high, with the histogram shrinking, signaling weakening momentum. The RSI reached overbought territory above 75 during the morning rally but has since declined into neutral territory. A potential bearish divergence between price and RSI in the afternoon suggests a possible reversal. Traders should watch for RSI readings below 30 as a potential oversold entry signal.

Bollinger Bands

The bands expanded significantly during the morning rally, reflecting heightened volatility. The price peaked just outside the upper band, indicating strong buying pressure. In the afternoon, price moved into the lower half of the bands, with a closing near the midline, suggesting a potential consolidation phase. A contraction in band width may precede a breakout or breakdown.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked in the morning during the breakout to 1.097 and again in the afternoon during the pullback. The largest volume bar of the day occurred at 12:15 ET with a turnover of $1.097 million. Price and turnover aligned well in the morning, but a divergence emerged in the afternoon with rising volume not matching the downward price move. This may indicate a struggle in conviction among traders.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci levels to the morning swing (1.05 to 1.097), the 38.2% retrace at 1.076 has held as a barrier. The 61.8% retrace at 1.065 has become a support zone, currently coinciding with the 50-period MA. On the daily timeframe, the 0.618 retrace of the recent major move from 1.03 to 1.097 is at 1.059, which has seen multiple bounces.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy described leverages overbought RSI levels and bearish engulfing patterns on the 15-minute chart as potential short triggers. Given today’s formation of bearish engulfing patterns after the 1.097 high and RSI peaking at overbought levels, the strategy would have triggered a short signal. A stop-loss placed above the morning high or the 1.065 Fibonacci level would have provided risk management. The pullback to 1.067 validates the potential effectiveness of the strategy, though further refinement may be needed to filter out false signals.
