Structure & Formations

Price action showed a sharp bearish breakdown early in the morning, with a long bearish candle forming between 1.91 and 1.018. A strong bullish recovery followed, with a key bullish engulfing pattern forming between 1.30 and 1.50. A doji near 1.573 and a consolidation doji at 1.603 suggest indecision. These levels may represent key support and resistance clusters for the next 24 hours.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average (SMA20) is below the 50-period line, indicating a short-term bearish bias. However, recent price action is above both, hinting at a potential reversal. On the daily chart, the 50-period SMA is near 1.64, while the 100 and 200-period lines are below 1.55. Price appears to be consolidating near the 50-period SMA, suggesting a possible test of 1.63–1.65 next.

MACD & RSI

The MACD has crossed from bearish into bullish territory in recent hours, with a positive divergence forming between price and momentum. RSI is currently at 55, having recovered from an oversold condition below 30. This suggests that the bearish momentum of the early hours may be fading. However, overbought conditions could form if price breaks above 1.63.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy involves a mean-reversion setup using RSI and Bollinger Bands. A long entry is triggered when RSI falls below 30 and price closes near the lower Bollinger Band. A stop-loss is placed below the recent swing low, and a target is set at the 38.2% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels. This approach could have captured the sharp rebound from the 0.316 low to the 1.603 close. The key to profitability would be managing risk with tight stops and exiting at key resistance levels like 1.63–1.65. This strategy aligns with the observed price behavior and current momentum signals.
