Towns/Turkish Lira (TOWNSTRY) opened at 0.494 at 12:00 ET-1, reached a high of 0.502, and closed at 0.501 at 12:00 ET. Daily volume totaled 15.9 million, with turnover reaching $7.86 million. Price action suggests consolidation following a late-night rally.

Support at 0.490 has held strong, with price bouncing off this level in the early hours. Resistance appears to be forming near 0.501, where a bearish candle with a long upper wick emerged. A bearish engulfing pattern formed at 0.496, indicating short-term uncertainty. The doji at 0.492 also suggests indecision. These patterns, combined with RSI near oversold territory, may set the stage for a short-term rebound.

20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart crossed below the price, indicating bearish momentum, though the 50-period line is beginning to rise, suggesting a possible reentry into positive territory. MACD is flattening, and RSI at 30 implies that a reversal could be near. Volatility, as measured by Bollinger Bands, widened in the 20-hour window, with price near the lower band. This suggests price may consolidate or test the upper band in the next 24 hours.

Fibonacci retracement levels from the recent low at 0.490 to the high of 0.502 suggest key levels at 0.496 (38.2%) and 0.499 (61.8%). Price has bounced from 0.496 and is now approaching the 0.499 level, which could serve as the next line of resistance. Volume and turnover diverged in the early morning hours, with price rising while turnover fell—this may indicate a weaker bearish move. However, the final 3 hours showed a sharp increase in volume and turnover, hinting at buying pressure entering the market.

Backtest Hypothesis
The proposed backtest strategy aims to identify potential reversals using pre-computed Morning Star candlestick patterns. By aligning these signals with TOWNSTRY’s price action, a 3-day holding period can be tested for profitability. The focus on TOWNSTRY as a token-FX pair allows for the use of standard technical pattern detection methods. Once the pattern dates are confirmed, the backtest will evaluate how the 20-period moving average and RSI (30 threshold) could enhance the signal’s timing and success rate. This approach could provide insights into whether these patterns are predictive in less liquid pairs.
