At 12:00 ET–1 on 2025-10-05, the USDC/Czech Koruna pair opened at 20.55 and peaked at 20.76. It closed the 24-hour window at 20.68, with total trading volume reaching 226,022.0 and a notional turnover of approximately 4,658,068.8 CZK.

The price action formed a bullish flag pattern during the early morning hours, followed by a sharp reversal and consolidation around 20.75–20.68. A bearish engulfing pattern emerged at the peak of the 20.76 level, suggesting possible bearish momentum. The session's volatility remained low for most of the day until the midday spike.

Bollinger Bands showed a contraction early in the morning, followed by a strong expansion during the bullish breakout. Price hovered near the upper band for several hours before retracting into the channel. RSI signaled overbought conditions near 80, and MACD showed a bearish crossover, indicating a probable exhaustion of buying pressure. The 50-period moving average crossed above the 20-period line, forming a potential short-term bullish signal, though the 200-period line remains a key resistance.

Fibonacci retracement levels from the 20.55–20.76 swing highlighted 61.8% support at 20.65–20.67, where the price has shown resilience in the last two hours. The 38.2% level at 20.69–20.70 may serve as a near-term resistance. Notably, price volume and turnover aligned during the midday rally but diverged toward the end of the session as volume decreased despite a pullback.

Backtest Hypothesis
The proposed backtesting strategy suggests a long position during consolidation patterns followed by a breakout above a 15-minute high. A stop-loss is placed below the 20-period moving average, while a take-profit target aligns with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement. Given the current setup, this strategy appears to align with today’s bullish flag and breakout. However, the bearish engulfing pattern at 20.76 suggests a possible reversal, which could invalidate the long signal.
