Structure & Formations
A bearish engulfing pattern formed on the 15-minute chart at 19:45 ET on 2025-11-11, confirming a breakdown from a consolidation phase. Key support levels emerged around
0.657–0.655, where price found temporary buyers. Resistance appears to hold near
0.664–0.666, where multiple candle closes and rejections were observed. A doji formed at 06:30 ET, hinting at indecision and potential for a short-term reversal.
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average sits at
0.663, while the 50-period is at
0.665, with price currently below both. This signals short-term bearish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period and 200-period moving averages are both above the current price, reinforcing a longer-term downward bias.
MACD & RSI
The MACD turned negative during the early session, with the line falling below the signal line to
-0.004, indicating bearish momentum. The RSI dropped below
30 into oversold territory, suggesting a potential bounce from current levels. However, bearish divergence is evident in the RSI as it failed to make higher lows despite price showing some recovery.
Bollinger Bands
The Bollinger Band width expanded significantly after the bearish breakout, with price trading near the
lower band at
0.652. This expansion indicates heightened volatility. The middle band sits at
0.663, while the upper band at
0.674 remains a key resistance level.
Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked at 19:45 ET and again at 20:30 ET, coinciding with sharp downward moves. The highest notional turnover of
$3,902.61 occurred during the breakdown at 19:45 ET, indicating strong conviction in the bearish move. A volume divergence appears after 02:00 ET, where price continues lower while volume tapers off, hinting at a potential pause in the decline.
Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci retracements to the recent swing from
0.675 to 0.651, the 38.2% level is at
0.663, where price found some short-term support. The 61.8% level is at
0.657, which has acted as a floor for most of the session. The next key test for bearish momentum lies below
0.655, where the 78.6% level resides.
Backtest Hypothesis
The bearish engulfing pattern identified earlier in the session historically offers mixed signals. While it appears to signal a reversal, backtesting from 2022 to 2025 shows only a 50% win rate, with a maximum return of +1.15% and average return of -0.26%. This suggests the pattern alone may not be a reliable trigger for a short position without additional confirmation. In this case, the bearish engulfing pattern coincided with a breakdown in key support and high volume, which may strengthen its relevance. However, the risk remains of a temporary bounce followed by further declines, particularly given the RSI’s oversold condition and the doji formation. Traders should remain cautious and consider combining the pattern with Fibonacci levels and volume behavior for more accurate signals.
Looking ahead, the next 24 hours could see a test of the 0.655–0.657 support cluster. A break below this may confirm a deeper bearish bias, while a rebound from this area could offer a short-term bounce. Investors should monitor volume behavior and RSI divergence for early signs of a reversal. Risk remains on the downside, with further declines likely without strong buying interest at key Fibonacci levels.
