Structure & Formations

The pair has been range-bound between $1.32e-6 and $1.37e-6, with no strong breakout observed. Notable support is forming near $1.34e-6 to $1.35e-6, where the price has repeatedly found buyers, and resistance is emerging around $1.37e-6, which has been tested but not decisively breached. A couple of small bullish engulfing patterns were observed in the early morning hours, but they lacked follow-through volume. No definitive reversal or continuation patterns have emerged in the last 24 hours.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are closely aligned, indicating a neutral trend. The 50-period MA is currently at around $1.35e-6. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA is slightly above the 200-period MA, but both are in a lateral pattern, suggesting a continuation of the range-bound environment. Short-term traders may look to the 20-period MA as a dynamic support/resistance zone.

MACD & RSI

The 12/26 MACD line and signal line crossed in the neutral territory, with the histogram showing a mixed profile of bullish and bearish momentum. RSI oscillates between 45 and 55, indicating a balanced market without clear overbought or oversold conditions. The RSI has not shown divergence with price action, suggesting momentum remains in line with the range.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands have been contracting over the past 24 hours, particularly between 05:00 and 07:00 ET. Price has remained within the bands, with the most recent close sitting near the middle band, indicating no significant volatility or directional bias. A breakout from this narrowing band may signal a resumption of trend or a sharp consolidation.

Volume & Turnover

Volume was highest in the early hours of 2025-09-24, particularly around 03:00–04:00 ET, when price tested $1.32e-6. The largest spike occurred at 03:00 ET, with a volume of 127,625.2, but this coincided with a price drop rather than a surge. Turnover mirrored the volume profile, with a peak during that hour. However, volume has decreased significantly after 09:00 ET, and price remains near mid-range. No clear divergence between price and volume is evident.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the most recent swing high ($1.37e-6) and swing low ($1.32e-6), the key retracement levels are at $1.35e-6 (38.2%) and $1.34e-6 (61.8%). Price has lingered near the 38.2% level in the past 24 hours, with some consolidation around it. If the pair breaks the 38.2% level with increasing volume, it may signal a short-term bearish continuation. Conversely, a rebound above $1.36e-6 with higher volume could signal a potential test of $1.37e-6 resistance.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtest strategy could involve using the 20-period and 50-period moving averages as dynamic support/resistance triggers, combined with RSI levels (below 45 for short signals, above 55 for long signals). If the price breaks above the 38.2% Fibonacci level with a confirmed bullish candle and increasing volume, it may signal a short-term bearish setup. Conversely, if the price breaks below the 61.8% Fibonacci level with bearish candlestick patterns and increasing volume, a short entry may be considered. This strategy could be backtested over the past 30 days using these conditions for intraday trading on the 15-minute chart.
