Structure & Formations

The price action displayed a series of bullish and bearish candlestick patterns, with notable bullish engulfing patterns forming between 19:30 and 20:15 ET as prices rebounded from support around 0.0992. A doji at 02:45 ET suggested indecision, followed by a bearish harami at 03:00 ET as prices tested that same level again. Key support levels included 0.0992 and 0.0983, while resistance emerged at 0.1005 and 0.1009.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20SMA crossed above the 50SMA during a morning rally, reinforcing a short-lived bullish bias. The 50SMA remained above the 100SMA on the daily chart, but the 200SMA acted as a critical psychological level. Price tested the 50SMA multiple times, failing to hold above it in the latter half of the 24-hour window, which signals potential consolidation ahead.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line fluctuated around the signal line with mixed histogram divergence, suggesting a lack of strong directional momentum. RSI crossed into overbought territory several times, peaking at 74 around 23:45 ET and 08:00 ET, before dipping into oversold levels below 30 during the 02:15–04:15 ET timeframe. These oscillations suggest a market caught between bullish and bearish forces, lacking a clear trend.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility was moderate, with the 20-period Bollinger Bands expanding during breakout moments and contracting during consolidation. Prices touched the upper band during a 14:30–14:45 ET rally and the lower band during a 02:30–03:00 ET dip, indicating price extremes that could trigger reversals or continuation patterns.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked above average during breakout moments—most notably at 14:30 ET and 05:45 ET—suggesting strong institutional participation. However, price failed to hold the highs on high-volume days, hinting at possible profit-taking or distribution. Notional turnover aligned with volume surges, but a divergence appeared around 06:00–07:30 ET, with volume declining despite a continued price uptrend.

Fibonacci Retracements

The recent 15-minute swing from 0.0977 to 0.1017 hit key Fibonacci levels. Price stalled near the 61.8% retracement level at 0.1000 before rebounding, and found support again at the 38.2% level at 0.0994. On the daily chart, the 2025-11-09 low tested the 61.8% retracement of the prior week's swing, suggesting strong potential for further consolidation or a reversal.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy using the RSI indicator could be structured as follows: enter a short position when RSI crosses above 70 and close the position when RSI falls below 30. Given today's RSI behavior, this strategy would have triggered a short entry at 07:00–08:00 ET and closed it at 02:30–03:00 ET. However, the market's inability to sustain directional moves may result in choppy returns. Further testing is advised to evaluate the strategy across a broader range of market conditions.
