Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart shows a series of lower highs and lower lows, with a bearish engulfing pattern forming near 0.340, which signaled a potential trend reversal. The price has since drifted lower and found support at 0.335 on multiple occasions. A notable doji appears at 0.333 around 11:45 ET, suggesting indecision. The 0.328 level appears to be a new short-term support, with the 0.335 and 0.331 levels acting as key retest points. A break below 0.324 would likely open the door to the next support at 0.320.

Moving Averages and Momentum

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart have both trended lower, reinforcing the bearish bias. The 20-MA currently rests at 0.336, while the 50-MA is at 0.337, forming a bearish crossover. The RSI has dipped into oversold territory (below 30), suggesting a potential bounce, though it has not yet been confirmed by volume. The MACD remains in negative territory with a narrowing histogram, indicating waning bearish momentum.

Bollinger Bands and Volatility

Bollinger Bands have shown a period of contraction between 0.337 and 0.341 between 00:00 and 03:00 ET, indicating a period of consolidation before a breakout attempt. The price has since remained within the bands, currently resting near the lower band at 0.328–0.324. A breakout above the upper band could signal renewed bullish momentum, but the recent price action suggests a bearish breakout may be more likely.

Volume and Turnover

Volume was highest in the early part of the session, particularly between 16:00 and 19:30 ET, where it peaked at 204,639.14 and 70,297.59, suggesting significant selling pressure. Turnover spiked in tandem, but the price failed to confirm a strong bearish reversal. The final 15-minute interval saw a moderate volume increase, though not enough to push the price above 0.330. Divergence between volume and price action late in the session points to possible exhaustion in the bearish move.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the recent swing from 0.343 to 0.324, the 0.335 level corresponds to the 38.2% retracement, which was tested but held until later in the session. The 0.331 level represents the 61.8% retracement and is now acting as a key support level. A break below this level would likely see the price move toward the 50% retracement level at 0.334 before facing further bearish momentum toward 0.328.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy involves entering a short position when RSI dips below 30 and the price closes below the 20-period moving average, with a stop-loss placed above the nearest resistance. A long position would be triggered when RSI crosses above 70 and the price breaks above the upper Bollinger Band. Based on today’s data, the bearish signal was confirmed earlier in the session, but the long signal failed to materialize despite a brief price rebound. This suggests the strategy may perform better in trending conditions rather than in range-bound environments.
