Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the 15-minute swing from 0.2559 (03:30 ET) to 0.2744 (00:15 ET), the 50% retracement level sits at 0.2651 and the 61.8% level at 0.2683. Price may test these levels on a potential rebound. On the daily timeframe, the 38.2% level is at 0.2708 and the 61.8% at 0.2740.

Backtest Hypothesis

The bearish engulfing pattern at 00:15 ET is a strong candidate for a backtesting strategy, particularly when confirmed by RSI entering oversold territory and volume surging. A potential strategy would involve entering a short position at the close of the engulfing candle, with a stop above the high of 0.2657 and a target at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at 0.2683. This setup could be tested across multiple timeframes and market conditions to assess its robustness and risk-reward profile.
