Structure & Formations
The price formed a bullish flag pattern during the early morning, followed by a strong upward breakout around 08:30 ET. Key support levels emerged at 0.1703 and 0.1685, while resistance levels were evident at 0.1733 and 0.1764. A bearish engulfing pattern was seen early in the morning before a decisive bullish reversal.
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages crossed to the bullish side after 08:00 ET, confirming the upward trend. On the daily chart, the 50-day moving average was crossed above at 0.1713, suggesting continued bullish momentum in the near term.
MACD & RSI
MACD turned positive around 08:00 ET and remained in bullish territory until the close. RSI approached overbought levels at 78 near 08:30 ET, indicating potential for a pullback or consolidation. However, the strong volume confirmed the move, delaying a reversal.
Bollinger Bands
Price remained outside the upper Bollinger Band for much of the session, indicating high volatility and strong bullish momentum. The bands were in an expansionary phase, with price showing a tendency to pull back toward the mean after sharp moves.
Volume & Turnover
Volume surged sharply in the morning session and again in the late afternoon, with a peak of 958,435.9 at 07:15 ET. Turnover also increased in line with volume, confirming the upward move. A divergence between volume and price was observed in the early morning, indicating mixed sentiment before the breakout.
Fibonacci Retracements
Fibonacci levels on the 15-minute chart highlighted key retracements at 0.1733 (61.8%) and 0.1703 (38.2%) during the morning rally. Daily retracements reinforced support at 0.1702 and resistance at 0.1764, both of which were tested during the session.
Backtest Hypothesis
The backtest results from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-10 reveal a total return of -1.76%, with an annualized return of 26.37%. Despite the strong annualized figure, the deep draw-down of -49.83% and low Sharpe ratio of 0.34 indicate high volatility and suboptimal risk-adjusted returns. The strategy's large dispersion between winning and losing trades suggests the need for tighter exit rules and enhanced risk management. Shorter MACD parameters, trend filters, and volatility-based position sizing could enhance performance.
Forward Outlook
The next 24 hours may see continued bullish momentum if the 0.1733 resistance level holds. A breakout above 0.1764 could signal a new leg higher, but investors should remain cautious of potential pullbacks due to overbought RSI and divergences in volume. As always, position sizing and stop-loss placement are key to managing risks in this volatile environment.
