Structure & Formations
The price action over the last 24 hours displayed a bearish bias, with a clear support forming around 20.88–20.89 and resistance at 20.94–20.95. A key bearish engulfing pattern formed around 19:15 ET, signaling potential downward momentum. Additionally, a doji at 01:15 ET suggested indecision and could mark a short-term pivot. These formations indicate that buyers are struggling to push prices above 20.95, which appears to act as a key psychological level.

Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages were closely aligned, reflecting a sideways to slightly bearish trend. On the daily chart, the 50-period moving average crossed above the 100-period and 200-period moving averages earlier in the year, suggesting a long-term bullish bias. However, the most recent daily candles show the price sitting below the 50-period MA, indicating a possible near-term bearish correction.

MACD & RSI
The MACD line dipped below the signal line in the early hours of the morning, confirming bearish momentum. The RSI indicator fluctuated around the 50 level, suggesting a balanced market with no clear overbought or oversold signals. However, RSI did dip to 42 in the late evening, hinting at a potential oversold condition that may attract buyers.

Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands expanded significantly in the overnight hours, particularly between 04:00 and 06:00 ET, showing increased volatility. The price spent most of the session within the bands, but a sharp drop at 19:15 ET pushed it temporarily below the lower band. This expansion and contraction may indicate a period of consolidation ahead.

Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked significantly during the evening and overnight hours, with the largest spike occurring at 19:15 ET. The increased volume during this period coincided with a sharp price drop, indicating strong bearish sentiment. Notional turnover also surged during this time, supporting the bearish price action and suggesting coordinated selling pressure.

Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci retracements to the most recent 15-minute swing from 20.85 to 20.95, the 23.6% level sits at 20.91 and the 38.2% level at 20.89. Price currently hovers near 20.89, suggesting a potential short-term bottom. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement level from a larger uptrend earlier in the year is at 20.88, which aligns with the current price, reinforcing its importance.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy described utilizes a bullish engulfing candlestick pattern as an entry signal, with positions held for three sessions. This strategy relies on the technical assumptions made in the analysis above, particularly the significance of candlestick patterns and trend alignment. Given the bearish sentiment observed today, the strategy may face challenges in the near term, as the market appears to favor short-term selling. However, if price consolidates near key support levels and the 50-period MA, the strategy could find opportunities for future bullish entries.
