Structure and formation analysis revealed no strong candlestick patterns—most candles were doji or very tight-bodied, suggesting indecision among traders. Key resistance appeared at 1.60e-06 and 1.59e-06, while support held at 1.57e-06 and 1.56e-06. Price tested the lower end of the range around 1.56e-06 but failed to close below it, indicating possible short-term support. No bearish or bullish engulfing patterns were observed, pointing to a continuation of consolidation.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart remained closely aligned, reinforcing the sideways trend. No clear divergence was observed between the moving averages and the price, suggesting the range-bound environment is likely to persist. On the daily chart, the 50, 100, and 200-period moving averages are closely grouped, signaling a lack of strong trend direction.

MACD remained near the zero line, with a narrowing histogram, confirming the lack of momentum. RSI was centered around 50, indicating a balanced market without clear overbought or oversold signals. Bollinger Bands contracted tightly around the price, suggesting a potential breakout or continuation of the current consolidation phase. Price remained within the band range for most of the session, with a minor expansion observed in the late hours of the day.

Volume and turnover showed a significant spike at the start of the session, particularly during the 00:15 ET block, where volume reached 351,323.2, and the close moved from 1.57e-06 to 1.56e-06. This was followed by a brief dip in volume but an increase in turnover later in the session, particularly between 03:00 and 04:45 ET, where volume averaged around 2,000–3,000. However, price action failed to confirm the volume, and no significant directional move followed, suggesting a lack of conviction.

Fibonacci retracement levels for the recent 15-minute swing from 1.55e-06 to 1.60e-06 showed price testing the 61.8% level (around 1.57e-06) multiple times without breaking through. This level appears to be a critical area of support. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement level aligns with 1.59e-06, which is also a key horizontal resistance and appears to cap upward movement.

The backtesting strategy under consideration involves identifying consolidation ranges with tight Bollinger Bands, followed by a breakout when volume spikes and the RSI crosses above or below 50. The strategy would look to enter on confirmation of the breakout candle, with a stop loss placed below the previous low for a bullish breakout or above the previous high for a bearish breakout. A profit target would be set at the next key Fibonacci level or a recent support/resistance zone.
