Structure & Formations

The price action formed a bullish continuation pattern, with key support identified at 21.06 and resistance at 21.16. A large bullish engulfing candle appeared at 03:45–04:00 ET, signaling potential for a breakout. A series of higher highs from 18:30 to 20:45 ET confirmed a breakout from a tight consolidation phase. A doji at 05:15 ET suggests indecision after the rapid move toward 21.16. Fibonacci retracement levels for the 15-min swing indicated 21.07 as a critical retracement level.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the price closed above both the 20-period and 50-period moving averages, reinforcing the bullish bias. Over the 24-hour period, the 50-period daily MA crossed above the 100-period MA, forming a potential “golden cross.” The 200-period MA acted as dynamic support around 21.04–21.06, indicating a possible floor for near-term pullbacks.

MACD & RSI

The MACD turned positive during the breakout phase and continued to rise with the price. A histogram expansion from 18:30 to 20:45 ET indicated increasing bullish momentum. The RSI climbed into overbought territory above 70 during the 04:00–05:15 ET window, suggesting a potential reversal if a correction occurs. However, the divergence between the RSI and price during the 05:15–06:00 ET window may signal weakening momentum.

Bollinger Bands

The bands expanded significantly during the breakout, reflecting heightened volatility. Price traded near the upper band for a large portion of the session, confirming overbought conditions. The lower band hovered around 21.04–21.06, aligning with the 200-period MA and providing a potential support zone for the near term.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged during the 03:45–05:15 ET period, with a single 15-minute candle at 03:45 ET showing 6,899.0 units traded at 21.14. This high-volume bar confirmed the breakout and aligned with a sharp upward move. Notional turnover also spiked during this time, indicating strong buying pressure. However, volume diverged slightly from price during the 05:15–06:00 ET window, suggesting a potential exhaustion phase.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the 15-minute swing from 21.04 to 21.16, the 21.07 level marked a 38.2% retracement. This level held firm during a pullback from 21.16 and may serve as a near-term support. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement level is expected to fall around 21.08–21.10, indicating potential resistance ahead.

Backtest Hypothesis
To evaluate potential momentum-based trading opportunities, we propose a backtesting strategy that identifies Golden Cross events in the MACD for USDCCZK. A Golden Cross occurs when the MACD line crosses above the signal line, often signaling a bullish trend reversal. The hypothesis is that entering long positions at such cross points, with a stop-loss just below the breakout support level (21.06), could yield favorable risk-reward setups in high-momentum scenarios like today’s. This approach will be tested from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-08 using accurate MACD data once the correct ticker symbol is confirmed.
