Structure & Formations

Price action displayed a series of bullish line breaks and bullish engulfing patterns during the 17:00–20:30 ET period, indicating a gradual shift in sentiment toward the upside. However, indecision emerged between 05:45 and 08:15 ET, as a bearish rejection candle appeared at 1.38e-6, hinting at temporary resistance. A key support level formed near 1.35e-6 and was tested twice without a breakout. The 1.36e-6–1.37e-6 range appears to be a critical consolidation zone.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period SMA (1.358e-6) closely aligned with the 50-period SMA (1.359e-6), signaling tight consolidation. Price remained within the 1.35e-6–1.37e-6 corridor and showed no clear directional bias. If the 50-period SMA on the daily chart (not shown) holds above the 200-period SMA, it may reinforce the likelihood of a continuation in the current range.

MACD & RSI

The MACD oscillator remained near zero, with a weak positive divergence, while the signal line moved in tandem without clear bullish bias. RSI hovered around 50 throughout the 24-hour period, with no overbought or oversold signals forming, indicating a lack of strong momentum. The combination of these indicators suggests a neutral to slightly bullish bias, with no strong divergence to suggest a reversal.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands were narrow, indicating low volatility. Price remained within the middle band for much of the session and only briefly touched the upper band during the 05:45–08:15 ET period. The lack of expansion suggests a continuation of range-bound conditions. A breakout beyond the upper or lower band would signal an increase in volatility and a potential shift in trend.

Volume & Turnover

Volume was uneven, with spikes at 02:00 and 13:00 ET corresponding to the highest notional turnover. However, there was no sustained follow-through in price. The 02:00 ET spike was associated with a move to 1.37e-6, while the 13:00 ET spike saw a consolidation back into the 1.36e-6–1.37e-6 range. No divergence between price and volume was observed, suggesting the spikes were in line with price action.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the 1.31e-6–1.37e-6 swing, the 38.2% level (1.347e-6) and 61.8% level (1.358e-6) were both tested and held firm. The 1.35e-6 level acted as a key support, while the 1.36e-6 level appears to be a consolidation point. A break above 1.37e-6 would likely bring the 1.375e-6 level into play, with the next resistance likely forming above 1.38e-6.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtest strategy could focus on breakout trading within the 1.35e-6–1.37e-6 range, with stop-loss placed just outside the opposite band to manage risk. Given the current price hovering near the 61.8% retracement level and the tight Bollinger Bands, a breakout on either side could provide a high-probability trade entry, especially if confirmed by an increase in volume. This aligns with the observed price behavior and indicator neutrality, making it a viable hypothesis for testing over the next few sessions.
