A doji at 1245 ET indicates indecision and possible reversal risk if price breaks below the doji’s low of 1.159.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages remained in bullish alignment throughout the session, with the 20-period line staying above the 50-period. This suggests short-term momentum remained intact. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA at 1.146 and 200-period MA at 1.143 provided a positive slope, reinforcing the bullish bias.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram showed positive divergence from 0100 to 0400 ET, signaling increasing bullish momentum. RSI reached an overbought level of 72 at 0230 ET, then pulled back to mid-60s by midday. This suggests short-term exhaustion and potential for a pullback. However, RSI held above 50 throughout the session, indicating that buyers remained in control.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility increased significantly during the early hours, with the Bollinger Bands expanding from 1.144 to 1.165. Price remained in the upper band for several hours, indicating strong momentum. By afternoon, the bands began to contract, suggesting a possible reversal or consolidation phase. Price hovered near the upper band in the final hours, indicating ongoing buying pressure.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged at 0215 ET with a large candle of 34,592.59 units, suggesting institutional accumulation. Turnover matched this volume spike, with no notable divergence between price and volume during the early breakout phase. However, in the late afternoon, volume decreased while price remained range-bound, suggesting potential exhaustion. A key price/volume divergence was noted at 1515 ET, where volume dropped despite price remaining near a prior high, indicating weakening momentum.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, price found support at the 38.2% Fibonacci level of 1.147 before moving on to 1.153. The 61.8% level at 1.157 acted as a temporary ceiling in the morning. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement of the recent rally is at 1.153, a level that has held as both support and resistance during this session.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy described focuses on a short-term breakout system that identifies price breakouts above a dynamic resistance level defined by the 20-period high and enters long on confirmation with volume above average. Stops are placed just below the breakout support zone, and targets are set at the next Fibonacci level. The data from today supports the potential viability of this strategy, especially during the 0215 ET breakout when volume and price aligned. If implemented, the strategy would have triggered a long entry at 1.153 with a stop at 1.147 and a target at 1.162.
