Structure & Formations

The price action shows a bearish breakdown with strong downward momentum throughout most of the session. A long bearish candle on the 15-minute 03:00 ET window (closing at 0.4824) marked the start of a sharp decline, followed by a continuation of bearish bias with no notable reversal patterns. Key support levels are at 0.4603 and 0.4462, with 0.4603 providing the first immediate support. Resistance is likely found at 0.4717 and 0.4806.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are both below the current price, reinforcing the bearish bias. The daily chart shows the 50-period MA at 0.4900, with the 100- and 200-period MAs further below. These suggest a longer-term downtrend is in place, with price well below all key moving averages.

MACD & RSI

MACD is in negative territory with a bearish crossover, indicating continued downward momentum. RSI is in oversold territory (~30), suggesting potential for a short-term rebound. However, without divergence between price and RSI, this oversold reading alone may not trigger a reversal. The MACD histogram has been shrinking in negative territory, hinting at possible exhaustion in the bearish move.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly during the 03:00–04:00 ET window, as reflected in the wide Bollinger Bands. Price has traded below the lower band for extended periods, suggesting strong bearish pressure. A move back toward the mid-band (~0.4650) may offer a temporary floor or bounce zone.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked dramatically at the start of the sharp decline (03:00–03:15 ET), confirming the breakdown. The high volume during this window aligns with the largest price drop (0.4806 to 0.4824), suggesting strong bearish conviction. Notional turnover followed a similar pattern, with the largest turnover occurring during the most volatile 15-minute periods.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, key Fibonacci levels are at 0.4717 (38.2%) and 0.4462 (61.8%). These levels could act as pivot points for a potential bounce or retest of bearish bias. Daily retracements from the recent swing high at 0.5447 to the low at 0.4492 also reinforce the 0.4717 and 0.4462 levels as key areas for near-term action.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest of a MACD-based short strategy reveals limited statistical significance, with only two death-cross events identified in the timeframe. Across a 30-day holding period, the strategy underperformed the benchmark, with worst-case drawdowns exceeding 40%. This suggests that relying solely on the MACD signal may not be a reliable short-term trading approach for LINEATRY. Momentum and volume divergence metrics should be incorporated to refine entry timing and manage risk more effectively.
