The pair experienced a volatile sell-off following the formation of a bearish engulfing pattern, a key bearish signal.

Structure & Formations

Price action revealed a strong bearish bias after a large bearish candle (16:45–17:00 ET) gapped down from $2.491 to $2.460. A bearish engulfing pattern formed during this session, with a body size of -0.015 (6.0%) and a confirmation candle closing below it. A significant support level was breached at $2.453, followed by a retest at $2.451 (17:15–17:30 ET). A doji formed around $2.454–2.454, signaling indecision near that level.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, price closed below both the 20-EMA and 50-EMA lines, suggesting a continuation of the downward trend. The 20-EMA sits at approximately $2.442, while the 50-EMA is at $2.461. The 100- and 200-day moving averages are currently at $2.482 and $2.476, respectively, placing the current price in oversold territory relative to longer-term averages.

MACD & RSI

MACD lines showed a bearish crossover with a negative histogram, reinforcing the downward momentum. RSI approached oversold territory around 28 during the late evening hours, hinting at potential near-term buying interest if the trend reverses. However, a divergence between RSI and price action has not yet emerged, suggesting that the downtrend could persist.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands displayed a strong contraction during midday, with the bands narrowing between $2.460 and $2.480. This consolidation was followed by a sharp breakout to the downside, with the close near the lower band at $2.386. The band width expansion suggests increased volatility, and the price is now in the lower third of the band, supporting a continuation of the bearish move.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked to 290,254.49 during the 19:30–19:45 ET candle, coinciding with the largest price drop of the day. Turnover also surged, confirming bearish conviction. However, volume has remained relatively steady since, indicating no immediate reversal in sentiment.

Fibonacci Retracements

The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from the 2.506–2.486 swing is at $2.495, which acted as a resistance. On the broader daily chart, the 61.8% level of the recent bearish leg (2.564–2.367) is at $2.431, where the current price is approaching. This level may serve as a short-term support or trigger renewed bearish momentum if broken.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the observed bearish engulfing pattern and the RSI entering oversold territory, a potential backtesting strategy would be to short at or near the close of the engulfing candle with a stop-loss above the recent high of $2.506 and a take-profit at the next Fibonacci level of $2.431. The Bollinger Band’s widening supports the use of volatility as a timing signal, and the MACD confirms bearish momentum. A trailing stop could also be implemented to capture potential further downside should the trend continue beyond the initial target.
