A key support level appears to have formed around 3.624–3.625, where the pair found multiple times during overnight trading. A small bullish engulfing pattern formed at 3.624–3.627, which could signal a potential reversal from the consolidation phase, although it lacked confirmation.

A key resistance level appears to be developing at 3.628–3.629, where price has tested multiple times without a strong breakout.

Moving Averages and Momentum

Using the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages have remained closely aligned, suggesting a relatively flat trend. The 20SMA (3.627) and 50SMA (3.626) are almost overlapping, indicating a balanced market. On the daily chart, the 50SMA and 200SMA are converging at around 3.626–3.628, forming a neutral zone. MACD has been hovering near the zero line with a shrinking histogram, suggesting that momentum is fading on both the long and short side. RSI remains in the 50–55 range, signaling that the market is consolidating after a brief rally.

Bollinger Bands and Volatility

Bollinger Bands have narrowed during the overnight hours, signaling a period of reduced volatility and a potential buildup for a breakout. Price has remained within the bands, suggesting a continuation of range-bound trading. The middle band currently sits at 3.627, which coincides with the 20SMA and 50SMA on the 15-minute timeframe. This alignment could indicate a possible breakout or breakdown in the near term.

Volume and Turnover Divergences

Volume has shown significant variations throughout the day, with the highest single candle volume reaching 91,709 units during a 15-minute candle in the early evening. However, price failed to make a decisive breakout from the 3.624–3.629 range, despite the volume spike. A divergence between price and volume is notable around 3.627–3.628, where volume increased but price failed to follow through, suggesting possible near-term exhaustion on the long side.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the recent swing from 3.621 to 3.633, key levels at 3.627 (38.2%) and 3.624 (61.8%) have acted as strong support and resistance levels. Price has found support twice at the 61.8% level and has tested the 38.2% level with mixed results. On a daily basis, the 50% retracement level sits around 3.626, which is currently acting as a neutral zone.

Backtest Hypothesis

The technical indicators discussed—particularly the RSI, MACD, and Fibonacci retracements—can form the basis for a potential backtest strategy. One approach would be to evaluate a momentum-based strategy that buys USDCPLN when the RSI exceeds 70 and exits when it falls below 70. Given the recent behavior of the RSI hovering near mid-levels, this strategy could help identify overbought and oversold conditions in real time. This method would be particularly useful for traders seeking to capitalize on short-term volatility in a range-bound market.
