Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart shows a strong bullish engulfing pattern at 17:45 ET, indicating a short-term reversal attempt. However, the price failed to hold above 0.475, suggesting a lack of conviction. A bearish rejection at 0.469 followed, confirming a key resistance level. Support appears to form around 0.46, where price has bounced twice, while resistance remains at 0.475. A doji formed at 02:15 ET, signaling indecision ahead of a sharp decline.

Moving Averages and Volatility

On the 15-minute timeframe, the 20-period MA is below the 50-period MA, indicating a bearish short-term trend, but the recent move to 0.475 suggests a potential near-term reversal. The 50-period MA crossed above 0.465, hinting at a possible support level. Volatility increased after 17:45 ET with a high-low range of 0.011, but it has since contracted. Bollinger Bands reflect this contraction, with price clustering near the middle band, suggesting a possible breakout or consolidation phase.

Momentum and Overbought/Oversold Levels

RSI reached 65 during the bullish phase but has since declined to 52, indicating a balanced market with no immediate overbought or oversold conditions. MACD crossed zero during the early bull run, suggesting positive momentum, but the histogram has since flattened, hinting at a loss of upward momentum. The price is now consolidating, and further moves above 0.47 or below 0.46 could trigger renewed direction.

Volume and Turnover

Volume spiked at 17:45 ET (6.4 million) with a corresponding high of 0.475, confirming the bullish signal. However, volume dropped significantly post-midnight, especially during the bearish phase, indicating weak follow-through. Notional turnover peaked at $2.9 million during this time but has since fallen to $1.7 million, suggesting a possible exhaustion of short-term bullish pressure. Divergences between price and volume suggest caution ahead of any directional move.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement to the key 15-minute swing from 0.455 to 0.477, the price has retraced to the 61.8% level at 0.466, aligning with the 02:15 ET doji and recent resistance. This level appears critical for near-term direction. On the daily chart, the 38.2% level is near 0.465, which may provide further support if the 61.8% level fails.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtest described applies a bullish engulfing pattern strategy to a ticker similar to TOWNSTRY, using daily data and next-day open entries. The key assumptions align with the observed candlestick patterns and volume behavior here—namely, the potential for short-term reversals after strong bullish signals. The strategy uses a one-day holding period, matching the short-lived bullish momentum seen in the 15-minute chart. While the current 24-hour data does not confirm long-term profitability, the methodology mirrors the technical indicators used in this analysis, such as RSI and MACD, to assess momentum.
