The pair traded within a 1.240–1.266 range over 24 hours, with a total volume of 166,104.3 and notional turnover of $208,425.00. The price action suggests a bearish bias, with key support and resistance levels forming around these thresholds.

Structure & Formations

Price action revealed bearish continuation patterns such as a dark cloud cover and shooting star during the early morning hours. Resistance levels formed at 1.257–1.262, while support appears to be holding around 1.240–1.245. A potential bullish hammer at 1.242 on October 3 morning may indicate short-term buying interest. A break below 1.240 could trigger a deeper correction toward 1.235–1.225.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are bearishly aligned, with price lingering below both. On the daily chart, the 50- and 100-period moving averages are converging, suggesting a potential shift in trend if price can stabilize above 1.247. The 200-period MA remains a strong long-term bearish reference point, currently at ~1.253.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed below the signal line, confirming bearish momentum, while the RSI dipped into oversold territory (below 30) during the early hours of October 3. This could indicate a possible rebound, but without a strong MACD divergence or volume confirmation, a sustained reversal remains unlikely. A rebound above 1.249 may rekindle short-term bullish hope.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded after 16:00 ET on October 2, with price reaching the upper band before retreating. On October 3, the price found itself in the lower half of the band, signaling bearish pressure. A break above the upper Bollinger band (currently ~1.253) could signal a shift in sentiment, but the current bearish trend seems intact.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked significantly between 16:00–20:00 ET on October 2, reaching a peak of 15,202.7 at 18:30 ET, but price failed to close above 1.262. During the overnight session (22:00–4:00 ET), volume declined, while price drifted lower. Notional turnover mirrored the volume profile, with a large block at 1.257–1.262 but no follow-through on the downside. A divergence between price and volume may hint at weak bearish conviction.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the recent 1.240–1.266 swing, key retracement levels are at 38.2% (1.252) and 61.8% (1.245). Price tested both levels during the overnight and early morning hours, with a shallow bounce from 1.245. A retest of the 61.8% level may offer a short-term floor, while a break below 1.240 could expose the next level at 1.234 (78.6%).

Backtest Hypothesis

The described backtesting strategy leverages a combination of RSI oversold conditions and Fibonacci support levels to time entries. Specifically, it looks for RSI < 30 and a price test of the 61.8% retracement level as a buy trigger, with a stop loss placed below the nearest Fibonacci level. Given today’s move into oversold territory and the bounce at 1.245 (61.8%), a trader using this strategy might consider a short-term entry. However, without a confirming bullish candlestick pattern or volume confirmation, the setup remains high-risk.
