Opening Narrative

MultiversX/Romanian Leu (EGLDRON) opened at 58.1 on 2025-10-07 at 16:00 ET and traded between 56.7 and 59.2 over the next 24 hours, closing at 57.4 by 12:00 ET on 2025-10-08. The pair posted a total volume of 3,439.18 and a notional turnover of 196,270.75 RON over the period. A sharp sell-off unfolded after a 15-minute bullish move to 58.8, followed by a rapid bearish correction.

Structure & Formations

Price action unfolded in a clear bearish sequence, with a decisive 15-minute bearish candle on 2025-10-08 at 03:30 ET (57.6 open to 56.8 close). This candle is classified as a bearish engulfing pattern against the prior candle’s 58.4 high. Notably, the market formed a small bullish engulfing pattern near 58.4 later in the session but failed to break higher, suggesting continued bearish control. A long lower shadow appeared at 57.6–57.8 on 2025-10-08 at 12:00 ET, hinting at possible short-term support.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, price dropped below both the 20-EMA (58.3) and the 50-EMA (58.5) by 05:30 ET, confirming bearish momentum. The 200-day SMA on the daily chart (not shown in current data) would likely remain above current levels, reinforcing a bearish bias. The 50-EMA, if in play, could act as a short-term resistance line for a potential bounce.

MACD & RSI

RSI dropped to 30 by 06:15 ET, signaling oversold conditions. However, divergence was not observed with price. MACD showed a bearish crossover earlier in the session, with the histogram shrinking after 08:00 ET as momentum weakened. Price may find a floor near 57.2, where RSI hovered at 30–32 for several hours.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands displayed a volatility expansion as the price broke the lower band at 56.8–57.0. This suggests an extended bearish move and potentially a new short-term channel forming. A retest of the lower band could trigger a bounce, especially if volume picks up.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked to 189.79 at 57.0 but failed to confirm a bullish reversal. The highest turnover occurred at 57.0–57.5 between 14:15 and 14:45 ET. Price and turnover diverged around 58.4–58.8, with turnover dipping despite a price bounce. This divergence suggests weak conviction in the bullish move.

Fibonacci Retracements

A 61.8% Fibonacci retrace from the 59.2 high to the 56.7 low would place support at approximately 57.3. Price closed at 57.4, near this level, and may attempt a bounce here. The 38.2% level (57.9) has already failed as resistance.

Backtest Hypothesis

The proposed backtesting strategy involves a short-bias trigger when price breaks below a 50-EMA and RSI falls below 30 on the 15-minute chart. A stop-loss is placed at the recent swing high, and a take-profit target aligns with the next Fibonacci support level (57.3). Given today’s pattern, this strategy would have entered a short at 58.4 and exited at 57.4, capturing a 1.0 RON move. The success rate depends on consistent RSI divergence and volume confirmation, which were absent today, limiting the strategy’s effectiveness.
