The 15-minute candlestick chart shows a range-bound profile with a few small breakouts attempted but largely rejected. A notable 15-minute bullish engulfing pattern occurred at 2025-11-04 05:30 ET, followed by a failed retest and a bearish pinocchio at 07:15 ET. A potential support cluster forms around 1.11e-06 and 1.10e-06, with resistance seen between 1.12e-06 and 1.13e-06. The structure suggests the pair may test these levels again in the near term.

A 20-period moving average on the 15-minute chart closely tracked price, indicating tight consolidation. The 50-period MA remained flat near 1.115e-06, suggesting neutrality. No daily MA (50/100/200) were triggered as price hovered in a narrow corridor. The MACD oscillator was near zero, with a very weak bullish divergence, indicating minimal momentum. RSI remained in the 45–55 range for most of the day, with a brief dip to 43 at 07:15 ET, hinting at mild oversold conditions that did not attract meaningful buying.

Bollinger Bands showed a slight contraction during the overnight session, followed by a modest expansion during the final hours of trading. Price remained within the 1.09e-06 to 1.14e-06 range, hovering near the middle band, suggesting no strong breakout potential. Volatility remains low, but volume activity in the last 6 hours—particularly at 1.11e-06 and 1.12e-06—suggests accumulation. The 1.11e-06 level appears to be a key pivot, supported by both volume and price action.

Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the 1.09e-06 to 1.14e-06 swing suggest key psychological levels at 1.12e-06 (38.2%) and 1.11e-06 (61.8%). The price tested the 38.2% level twice without closing above it, reinforcing its role as resistance. A close above 1.12e-06 would be a positive signal for near-term buyers, but a break below 1.11e-06 could trigger further consolidation or a short-term pullback.

The pair may remain range-bound for the next 24 hours, with 1.11e-06 acting as a critical floor and 1.12e-06 as a key test for bullish sentiment. Traders should monitor volume behavior at 1.12e-06 for signs of conviction. A break above that level could trigger a retest of 1.13e-06, but given the current lack of directional momentum, a continuation of consolidation remains the most probable outcome.

Backtest Hypothesis
The described backtesting strategy relies on a breakout of 15-minute Bollinger Band expansion and volume confirmation. A potential buy signal would trigger on a close above the upper band (1.12e-06) with a 15-minute volume spike above the 30-day average. A sell signal would follow a close below the lower band (1.11e-06) with increased volume.

In this 24-hour period, the price touched the upper band twice (at 1.12e-06) but failed to confirm with a strong close, suggesting the strategy would have avoided false signals. A breakout above 1.12e-06 confirmed by volume in the next 15-minute candle would validate the strategy. Traders using this method may want to pair it with a Fibonacci retracement to refine entry and exit levels, particularly given the current consolidation pattern.
