Structure & Formations

Price formed a bullish engulfing pattern near 0.2666–0.2674, suggesting a potential short-term reversal. However, this failed to hold, and the price broke below key support at 0.2658. A notable doji formed near 0.2688, signaling indecision. The structure indicates a bearish consolidation around 0.2645–0.2658, with potential for a breakdown if the 0.2640 level is tested.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA is bearish, sitting below the 50-period MA. The 50-period MA has been a key resistance level. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA appears to be a critical support area, while the 200-period MA has acted as a floor in previous sessions. The moving average convergence suggests a bearish tilt, especially with price lingering below the 50-period MA.

MACD & RSI

The MACD remains negative with a bearish crossover, and the histogram is shrinking slightly, suggesting waning bearish momentum. The RSI has entered oversold territory (below 30), but without a clear bullish reversal, it may suggest a false bottom. A bearish divergence is visible on the MACD as price made higher lows but the MACD made lower ones, signaling potential continuation of the downtrend.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility has expanded in the late hours, with price touching the upper band during the 0.2666–0.2674 surge and closing near the middle band. The lower band currently sits at 0.2635–0.2640. A breakdown below the lower band could signal a new bearish phase. The bands have widened, indicating rising uncertainty in the short-term trend.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged during the 0.2666–0.2674 bullish push, with a 15-minute candle at 02:15 ET–1 showing the highest turnover of the session. However, subsequent candles showed declining volume despite continued bearish pressure. The divergence between price and volume suggests weakening bearish conviction, but a breakdown could still occur if volume picks up again on the downside.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci levels to the 0.2666–0.2602 move on the 15-minute chart, 38.2% retracement aligns with 0.2626, while 61.8% is at 0.2645. The 50% level at 0.2633 appears to be a key consolidation point. Daily-level Fibonacci levels indicate a critical support at 0.2590 (38.2%), with 0.2567 (61.8%) as the next major level if the downtrend continues.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy described involves entering a short position when price closes below the 50-period MA on the 15-minute chart and the RSI confirms oversold conditions (below 30). A stop-loss is placed at the nearest Fibonacci resistance level. The strategy aims to capture the continuation of the bearish momentum observed in recent hours. Given today's price action and technical indicators, the conditions for entry appear to be forming, particularly with the price now consolidating below the 50-period MA and RSI nearing oversold levels. If the 0.2645 support level breaks, the strategy would signal a strong setup for a short trade.
