Structure & Formations

The session featured multiple key support and resistance levels. A critical bearish reversal occurred between 0.2079 and 0.1988, marked by a strong high-volume candle at 0.2040. A bearish engulfing pattern emerged after 17:00 ET as price fell below 0.1983, confirming a breakdown of the short-term support. The 0.1920–0.1935 zone became a key support level that held into the overnight session, with price consolidating slightly above it before breaking down again. A doji formed around 0.1945, signaling indecision and potential reversal, but failed to reverse the downward trend.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average crossed below the 50-period line early in the session, signaling bearish momentum. The 50-period line crossed the 100-period and 200-period lines by 19:30 ET, reinforcing a bearish bias. By the end of the session, all major moving averages were in bearish alignment, with the 50-period line sitting well above the current price.

MACD & RSI

The RSI moved into overbought territory around 0.2040–0.2079 before turning sharply bearish, dipping below 40 by 18:00 ET. The MACD confirmed the bearish momentum with a negative histogram and a clear crossover below the signal line. This divergence between price and momentum indicators suggested exhaustion in the bullish phase and increasing bearish control.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly during the morning session, with price reaching the upper Bollinger band at 0.2079 before collapsing. The 15-minute chart showed a sharp contraction in band width after 20:00 ET, indicating low volatility and a potential breakout. Price remained below the lower band by the end of the session, reinforcing the bearish sentiment and suggesting further downside potential.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged on the breakdown of 0.1983 with a candle of 6,395,120.4 notional turnover, confirming the bearish bias. However, volume declined sharply after 22:00 ET despite continued price weakness, indicating potential exhaustion in the bearish move. A divergence between declining volume and declining price raises the possibility of a short-term rebound or consolidation phase ahead.

Fibonacci Retracements

The 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at 0.1962 provided temporary support, but the 61.8% level at 0.1945 failed to hold for long. On the daily chart, the 0.1920–0.1935 area corresponds to a key 50% retracement level, suggesting potential for a test of that support over the next 24 hours. A breakdown below this level may trigger further corrections toward the 38.2% retracement at 0.1906.

Backtest Hypothesis

The described backtesting strategy involves entering a short position on a confirmed breakdown of a key support level (e.g., 0.1983), with a stop-loss placed above the nearest resistance and a take-profit aligned with the 61.8% Fibonacci level. Today’s 15-minute chart confirmed this setup with a breakdown at 0.1983 followed by a sharp move to 0.1945 and beyond. The volume and RSI divergence suggest that the strategy may need to adapt if the price stabilizes near 0.1920–0.1935, as it may indicate a potential reversal or consolidation phase before the next move.
