Structure & Formations

Price found strong support at 21.08, with multiple 15-minute candles testing and bouncing from this level. The most notable formation was a Bullish Engulfing pattern observed starting at 2025-11-02 18:30 ET, where a bearish 21.09-21.10 candle was followed by a larger bullish candle opening at 21.1 and closing at 21.12. This suggests increased buyer participation. There were no clear doji or reversal signals, and the trend appears to remain neutral to bullish.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are nearly overlapping, both hovering just below 21.10. On the daily timeframe, the 50-day MA is at 21.07, and the 200-day MA is at 21.05, indicating that the current price is above both, reinforcing the short-term bullish bias. Price remains slightly above the 100-day MA, at 21.06, suggesting continued buying pressure.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram remains flat with a weak positive divergence, indicating a tentative build-up in bullish momentum without a strong directional bias. The RSI is near 50 (around 52) for much of the day, suggesting a balanced market. A few late-hour candles pushed RSI above 55, hinting at early accumulation. Neither overbought nor oversold conditions were observed, maintaining a neutral to mildly bullish momentum profile.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility has been relatively low, with the Bollinger Bands narrowly compressed for most of the 24-hour window. The 20-period Bollinger Band width began to expand after 2025-11-02 18:30 ET, with the price hovering near the midline and gradually moving closer to the upper band in the last 6 hours. This suggests a potential shift in direction, as price is now sitting above the 20-period moving average and within the upper 1/3 of the bands.

Volume & Turnover

Volume remained modest for the first half of the period but surged after 18:30 ET, with the largest 15-minute candle at 18:30 ET showing 3,376.0 volume and a 21.14 high. The increase in both volume and turnover (amount) in the late afternoon and evening hours indicates stronger buyer involvement. There were no clear signs of divergence between price and volume; higher highs were accompanied by higher turnover, reinforcing the bullish bias.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the most recent 15-minute swing (21.08 low to 21.14 high), key retracement levels are at 21.11 (38.2%), 21.10 (50%), and 21.09 (61.8%). Price has tested the 38.2% and 50% levels multiple times without breaking down. On the daily timeframe, a major retracement level at 21.10 appears to be acting as a temporary resistance after a recent dip to 21.08. Price may test this level again in the coming hours.

Backtest Hypothesis

The observed Bullish Engulfing pattern in the 15-minute timeframe aligns with a potential entry signal for the USDCCZK pair. Given the recent consolidation and positive volume divergence, a backtest could be structured using a fixed take-profit percentage as a practical and consistent exit rule. For instance, using a 10% take-profit from entry price would allow for capturing moderate bullish momentum while limiting exposure to sudden reversals. A 2% stop-loss could also be added to protect against unexpected downside. This setup would align with the observed momentum and volume patterns while offering a disciplined exit strategy. Alternatively, a 30-day maximum holding period could be used to evaluate performance under a time-based framework.
