The TOWNSTRY pair for Towns/Turkish Lira opened at 0.478 on October 11 at 12:00 ET, reached a high of 0.484, and a low of 0.439, before closing at 0.462 as of October 12 at 12:00 ET. The 24-hour volume was approximately 3,457,164.0 units, with a notional turnover of around $1,563,781.28 (calculated using average price). The price action reflected a strong bearish impulse followed by a partial rebound.

Structure and formations on the 15-minute OHLC chart revealed a strong bearish breakout from 0.476 to 0.440, followed by a consolidation phase between 0.450 and 0.460. A key support level appears to have formed near 0.453–0.450, with multiple bounces from this zone. A bullish engulfing pattern emerged from 0.451 to 0.458 on the early morning session, suggesting short-term stabilizing sentiment. A doji candle at 0.458 further reinforced a potential turning point.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart show the price has crossed above both the 20-period and 50-period moving averages, signaling a potential reversal from short-term bearish to cautious bullish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period and 200-period moving averages remain in a bearish alignment, with the 100-period MA offering a potential near-term pivot. The price currently sits below the 50-day MA, indicating lingering bearish control in the broader trend.

MACD crossed from bearish into neutral territory, with the histogram showing a narrowing divergence, which could indicate a potential reversal. RSI hit oversold levels near 25 during the dip, but remains in the 50–60 range during the recovery, suggesting improved sentiment. Bollinger Bands expanded during the initial drop, compressing during consolidation. Price is currently trading near the mid-band, with volatility showing a modest increase.

Volume and turnover saw sharp spikes during the 0.450–0.440 breakdown phase but have declined during the rebound, indicating reduced bearish conviction. Notional turnover also spiked during the breakdown but has since normalized, suggesting that the rally may not be driven by significant new capital inflow. This divergence between volume and price could mean further consolidation is likely unless the price breaks above 0.465 with rising volume.

Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the key 0.484–0.439 swing identified 0.453 (38.2%) and 0.449 (61.8%) as critical support areas. The 0.464–0.469 zone corresponds to the 23.6% and 38.2% retracement levels on the recent 0.462–0.450 pullback, forming a potential resistance cluster for the near-term. A break above this level with confirmation could signal a more sustained bullish recovery.

The backtest strategy described involves a moving average crossover system using the 20-period and 50-period moving averages on a 15-minute chart. A long entry signal is triggered when the 20-period MA crosses above the 50-period MA, and a short signal occurs when the 20-period MA crosses below the 50-period MA. Given the current alignment with the 20-period MA above the 50-period MA and the bullish engulfing pattern, the strategy would currently recommend a long position. A stop-loss could be placed below the 0.450–0.453 support cluster to protect against a breakdown. Profit targets could be set at the 0.465–0.469 resistance zone based on Fibonacci levels and the recent pullback high. This strategy relies on capturing short-term directional momentum, which appears to be improving as per current indicators.
