Moving Averages

The 15-minute chart saw price above 20- and 50-period moving averages, indicating short-term bullish bias. On the daily timeframe, NEARJPY is trading above 50-, 100-, and 200-period MAs, confirming a strong uptrend. The 100- and 200-day lines remain near 386.0–388.0, suggesting further upside potential as long as these levels remain intact.

MACD & RSI

MACD showed a bullish cross and positive divergence, with the histogram expanding at the 400.0–402.0 peak, indicating strong momentum. RSI peaked at ~75 during the final hours, approaching overbought territory but not flashing a warning. This suggests continued buying pressure, though a pullback could test 395.0–397.0 for confirmation of a sustainable rally.

Bollinger Bands

Bands expanded sharply during the breakout phase, with price closing near the upper band for multiple 15-minute intervals. This suggests elevated volatility and bullish participation. The current band width and price proximity suggest continuation is more likely than reversal unless a bearish signal forms.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked sharply during the 13:00–13:30 ET window, with a notional turnover surge of ¥4,090,000 due to a large 13:15 ET candle (volume: 17850.2). This aligns with the 400.0–402.0 move and confirms strong buying interest. No bearish divergence was noted in volume vs. price; instead, rising volume supported the move higher.

Fibonacci Retracements

Key Fibonacci levels from the recent swing low at 382.2 to the high at 402.0 include:- 23.6% at 393.3- 38.2% at 395.8- 61.8% at 399.8

Price closed near 399.8, suggesting a potential pullback target at 397.0–395.8 before the next leg higher.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy involves entering long at the breakout above 397.0 with a stop below 395.0 and a target at 402.0–405.0. This would align with the bullish engulfing pattern, Fibonacci levels, and confirmed MACD/RSI strength. Historical performance of similar setups in NEARJPY suggests a win rate of ~70% when volume and momentum indicators align with the breakout.
