The price action unfolded in a distinct two-phase pattern: an early dip followed by a late ET rebound. A key support level formed around 0.601–0.603, holding through multiple selloffs, particularly from 19:15 to 20:30 ET. The 15-minute chart revealed a bullish engulfing pattern during the rebound phase (07:00–07:30 ET), reinforcing the reversal narrative. A doji at 04:45 ET suggested indecision before the upward move. Resistance levels emerged at 0.605–0.608, with several candles failing to close above this level, indicating potential short-term pressure.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart crossed during the rebound phase, confirming a short-term bullish trend. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA remained above the 100-period and 200-period MAs, suggesting a slightly bullish bias in the broader context. MACD showed a positive crossover early in the ET session, coinciding with the rebound, while RSI reached a neutral 53 at close, indicating no overbought condition. Bollinger Bands remained in a relatively narrow state, showing no sharp volatility shifts, and price action remained within the bands, suggesting a continuation of the consolidation phase.

Fibonacci retracements on the recent 15-minute swing from 0.597 to 0.610 placed key levels at 0.601 (38.2%) and 0.604 (61.8%). The 0.603–0.605 range, aligning with the 61.8% level, acted as a strong magnet for price during the final hours of the day. These levels appear to be critical for near-term direction. Volume and turnover showed a significant increase during the rebound (06:30–07:45 ET), with price and turnover confirming the bullish reversal, while a divergence emerged in the early dip (19:15–20:30 ET), where price fell sharply but volume remained subdued.

The backtest hypothesis leverages the bullish engulfing pattern identified during the 07:00–07:30 ET period, alongside a short-term moving average crossover and RSI neutrality. It proposes a long entry at 0.605 with a stop-loss at 0.602 and a target at 0.610. Given the Fibonacci and support/resistance alignment, the trade may benefit from strong price action confirmation if the daily 50-period MA continues to outperform the 100-period and 200-period MAs.
