Structure & Formations

XRPJPY displayed strong bullish structure during the session with a breakout above 468.00 and consolidation near 469.00. A key bullish engulfing pattern formed between 09:30–09:45 ET, followed by a bearish divergence at 10:45 ET.

Moving Averages

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart were well below price action, confirming a strong short-term bullish trend. On a daily chart, the 50-period MA crossed above the 100-period MA, forming a potential golden cross. This reinforces a longer-term bullish setup, with price above the 200-period MA suggesting sustained momentum.

MACD & RSI

The MACD remained bullish, with a positive histogram and a crossover above the zero line. RSI reached overbought territory near 75, suggesting a potential pullback. However, bullish divergence was visible between 09:45–10:00 ET, where price made a lower low while RSI made a higher low. This could signal a continuation of the upward trend.

Bollinger Bands

Price action moved within a wide Bollinger Band envelope, reflecting increased volatility. A breakout above the upper band at 470.59 occurred at 10:30 ET, but price failed to sustain above it, suggesting potential retesting of the band as resistance. The lower band was at 465.32, with price staying well above it during the session.

Volume & Turnover

Volume peaked at 109,488.7 during the 10:45–11:00 ET session, coinciding with a price pullback. This indicated strong selling pressure but also showed a potential reversal. Turnover spiked during the 09:45–10:00 ET period, showing increased notional value traded. Price action and turnover aligned during this time, suggesting conviction in the move.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement to the 15-minute swing from 447.76 to 470.59, key levels were identified at 38.2% (463.94) and 61.8% (457.65). Price action held above the 38.2% level, reinforcing the bullish trend. On a daily chart, a 61.8% retrace of the move from 447.72 to 470.59 was at 461.16, currently acting as strong support.

Backtest Hypothesis

The described backtesting strategy leverages the confluence of a golden cross (50/100 MA), a bullish engulfing candle pattern, and a RSI divergence to enter a long position. A stop-loss is placed below the 61.8% Fibonacci level (466.36), and a take-profit target aligns with the upper Bollinger Band at 470.59. Given the current price action and the confirmation of bullish indicators, this setup may provide a high-probability trade entry, assuming volatility remains elevated and volume continues to confirm directional bias.
