Structure & Formations

Price experienced a sharp intraday move from 4.384 to a high of 4.75, forming a bullish breakout candle before retracing. A bearish engulfing pattern emerged around 4.496 as the price closed below the opening of the prior bar. A doji formed at the top of the move near 4.75, signaling indecision. A strong support level appears to be forming near 4.42, where the price found a floor after a sharp drop. These patterns suggest potential exhaustion on the upside and a possible bounce off key support.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average crossed above the 50-period line, indicating a short-term bullish bias. The 50-period line, however, is slowly sloping downward, suggesting underlying bearish pressure. For daily analysis, the 50/100/200-period moving averages are aligned in a bearish slope, which may constrain longer-term upside potential unless a strong reversal occurs.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line showed a positive divergence during the upward move, peaking near 4.75, followed by a bearish crossover as the price corrected. RSI hit overbought territory mid-day but pulled back to a neutral zone, indicating some profit-taking or profit-booking behavior. RSI currently sits near 50, suggesting a potential equilibrium or consolidation phase. Momentum is weakening on the upside, which could support further correction into key support levels.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly during the peak at 4.75, with price breaching the upper band, confirming a breakout. As price retreated, it found support near the middle band and briefly dipped into the lower band before stabilizing. This suggests a period of high volatility followed by contraction, indicating a potential consolidation phase. Price is now hovering near the middle band, suggesting mixed market sentiment between bullish and bearish forces.

Volume & Turnover

Trading volume surged during the breakout to 4.75, with a 15-minute bar recording over 63,000 units of volume. This was followed by a sharp drop in volume as the price pulled back, indicating a lack of follow-through from buyers. Notional turnover showed similar behavior, with a peak around the same time as the breakout. The divergence between price and volume during the correction suggests weakening bullish momentum. If price stabilizes and volume rises again, it could indicate a new buying wave or a test of the 4.42 support level.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, price tested the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the 4.384–4.75 swing at around 4.55, before retracing further. On the daily chart, the 38.2% and 50% levels of the larger swing from 4.384 to 4.75 lie near 4.59 and 4.56 respectively. Price is currently approaching the 61.8% level at around 4.44, which may act as a potential support or resistance depending on market sentiment. A strong move above or below this level could confirm a new trend direction.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy described involves using a combination of RSI divergence, moving average crossovers, and volume confirmation to identify potential reversal points. During this 24-hour period, RSI showed a bearish divergence after the price reached overbought levels, aligning with the bearish crossover in the MACD. A 20/50 crossover on the 15-minute chart confirmed a short-term bullish bias, though it was quickly undone by declining volume. If this strategy had been applied, it would have suggested a short entry near 4.75, supported by RSI divergence and weak volume on the follow-through. The strategy appears well-suited to volatile assets like USDCRON, where sharp moves are common and divergence is a reliable indicator of exhaustion.
