Structure & Formations

Price action showed a breakdown of the 3.88e-06 support level late in the session, followed by a retest and a failed recovery attempt. A bullish engulfing pattern emerged in the last 15-minute candle as price rebounded to 3.88e-06, indicating short-term bear exhaustion. A doji was also observed near 3.86e-06, hinting at potential indecision between buyers and sellers. Key resistances appear at 3.92e-06 and 3.97e-06, while 3.82e-06 and 3.76e-06 serve as critical support levels.

Moving Averages and Momentum

On the 15-minute chart, price closed below both the 20- and 50-period moving averages, suggesting short-term bearish momentum. The 50-period line at 3.89e-06 and 20-period at 3.90e-06 appear to act as resistance in the near term. On a daily timeframe, the 50-day MA is at 3.91e-06, the 100-day at 3.88e-06, and the 200-day at 3.84e-06, with price currently testing the 200-day level. The RSI dipped below 30 during the session, indicating oversold conditions, but failed to elicit a strong volume response.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Volatility spiked in the late afternoon with the 15:30–16:00 ET candle showing a high of 4.02e-06 and a low of 3.99e-06. Bollinger Bands showed a significant expansion during this period, with price moving well above the upper band. Conversely, in the early morning, price fell well below the lower band, indicating a potential overreaction. A reversion to the mean around 3.89e-06 may be expected as the band contracts.

Fibonacci Retracements

Using the recent swing high of 4.02e-06 and low of 3.76e-06, the 38.2% retracement level is at 3.90e-06, and the 61.8% level is at 3.86e-06. Price has now tested the 61.8% level, which may act as a key support/resistance zone. If price breaks below 3.86e-06, the next critical level is at 3.82e-06 (78.6% retracement), which could trigger further downside.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy involves entering a long position on a bullish engulfing pattern confirmation, combined with a retest of the 38.2% Fibonacci level and RSI above 30. A stop-loss could be placed below 3.82e-06, while a take-profit target is aligned with the 3.92e-06 resistance level. This approach aims to capture a rebound in MEBTC as short-term bearish momentum wanes, with the MACD line showing a potential crossover above the signal line to confirm the reversal.
