Structure & Formations

Price remained confined between the 3.662 and 3.671 range, forming multiple small-range candles and suggesting a lack of directional bias. A key support level appears to be consolidating around 3.662, with several candles finding a floor in this zone. Resistance is forming at 3.671, where price has failed to break out multiple times over the past 24 hours. The presence of small-bodied candles and near-identical open-close levels implies a potential indecision or consolidation phase may be ongoing.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are closely aligned, hovering just above the 3.663 level. This suggests a flat bias in the short-term trend. The 50-period MA remains slightly bullish but shows no signs of divergence. Over the daily timeframe, the 50/100/200-period MA lines are relatively flat, indicating no significant directional bias at a higher timeframe.

MACD & RSI

The MACD has been in a weak positive territory but has started to contract, signaling potential exhaustion in any short-term bullish momentum. RSI stands at around 32, suggesting oversold conditions but with no immediate confirmation of a reversal. The divergence between RSI and price action is minimal, and a move back into neutral RSI territory may indicate a potential bounce in the near term.

Bollinger Bands

Price action has remained within the Bollinger Bands for much of the period, with volatility appearing to contract toward the end of the 24-hour window. The narrowing of the bands suggests that a breakout or increase in volatility may be imminent, though the direction is uncertain at this stage. Price remains near the lower band, reinforcing the idea of a potential short-term bounce.

Volume & Turnover

Trading volume peaked in the early hours of the reporting period and has since declined steadily. The largest volume spike occurred around 21:15 ET with 106,408 units traded. Notional turnover followed a similar pattern, peaking during the same interval. No significant divergence was observed between price and volume, suggesting that the bearish pressure may still be intact, though weakening.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the most recent 15-minute swing (3.662 to 3.671), the 38.2% and 61.8% levels are currently at 3.667 and 3.664, respectively. Price has tested the 61.8% level multiple times and is currently hovering near that area. A break above 3.667 could suggest a temporary rebound, while a pullback below 3.664 may indicate further consolidation.

Backtest Hypothesis

Unfortunately, the backtest engine could not retrieve the necessary price data for the USDCPLN pair due to a mismatch in the ticker symbol. The error suggests that the price-series node is not recognized for this symbol in the data source. To proceed with the backtesting, we can either:

1. Correct the ticker symbol (e.g., to "USDPLN" or a similar format recognized by the data provider) and rerun the analysis.
2. Use a different proxy or historical price dataset for USDPLN.
3. Consider an alternative approach, such as using a synthetic or inverse pair.

If you have a preferred ticker or historical price file (e.g., daily closes from 2022–01–01 to today), I can integrate it into the backtest engine for further testing of this pair.
