Structure & Formations

The price found strong support near 0.01133 during the morning selloff and formed a bullish harami pattern in the 09:45–10:00 timeframe. A series of higher lows and lower highs in the 0.01135–0.01145 range suggests the formation of a dynamic support/resistance cluster. A bearish engulfing pattern at 0.01146–0.01142 at 06:15–06:30 ET signaled a short-term reversal, but buying pressure reemerged after 09:00 ET.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20SMA and 50SMA crossed into a bullish alignment during the morning session. On the daily chart, the 50DMA and 200DMA appear to be converging, suggesting a potential breakout or continued consolidation in the near term. The 100DMA remains slightly above the 50DMA, indicating moderate bearish pressure in the broader timeframe.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed into positive territory after 09:45 ET, reinforcing the bullish momentum. RSI hovered around 50–55 throughout the day, suggesting balanced buyer and seller pressure. No extreme levels were reached, indicating the market is neither overbought nor oversold, with potential for continuation or consolidation in the short term.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded after 03:00 ET, following a midday contraction. Price action remained within the bands, with a bias toward the upper band during the late morning and lower band in the early afternoon. The widening bands suggest a possible breakout or continuation pattern, with the middle band acting as a dynamic support/resistance.

Volume & Turnover

Trading volume spiked in the afternoon with a key volume peak at 03:30 ET and another near 15:30 ET, coinciding with price consolidation. Turnover showed similar patterns, with no significant divergence between price and volume. The late-day rally was supported by high-volume buying, suggesting institutional or large-cap investor participation.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the morning decline (0.01146–0.01130), the 38.2% level (0.01137) and 61.8% level (0.01133) acted as support. Price bounced off both levels, indicating strong buying interest. The 50% level at 0.01134 was briefly breached but not sustained, hinting at a potential countertrend reversal.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy proposes a mean-reversion approach using the 50SMA and RSI (14) for entry triggers. Specifically, the model enters a long position when RSI falls below 40 and the price crosses above the 50SMA on rising volume. This aligns with the morning setup, where RSI dipped into 40s and the price crossed above the 50SMA after 09:00 ET. A stop loss is placed below the 61.8% Fibonacci level (0.01133), and the target is the 38.2% level (0.01137) and beyond if momentum confirms. This strategy would have captured the afternoon rally while managing risk during the morning dip.
