The 20-EMA at 8.6e-07 acted as a dynamic resistance, which was decisively broken during the early morning session. On the daily chart, the 50, 100, and 200-day SMAs (not provided) are expected to form a bearish alignment, reinforcing the downward trend.

MACD & RSI

RSI moved into oversold territory at 25, but did not show signs of reversal, indicating a lack of buying interest. A bearish divergence between price and RSI was observed at 07:00 ET, reinforcing the likelihood of further downward movement.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands constricted during the consolidation phase between 9.2e-07 and 9.3e-07, signaling a potential breakout. The 06:15 ET bearish candle broke below the lower band, marking a 4.3% move. The current price sits near the lower band, indicating high volatility and a potential continuation of the bearish move.

The largest single candle in terms of volume (103,176.0) occurred at 06:15 ET, coinciding with the sharp price drop. Notional turnover spiked with this candle, confirming the breakdown.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci retracement levels drawn from the 04:15 ET high at 9.2e-07 and the 06:15 ET low at 8.4e-07 show the current price at 8.3e-07 slightly below the 61.8% level, suggesting a possible extension to 8.1e-07 if the trend continues. The 38.2% level at 8.6e-07 failed to hold, indicating further weakness.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy involves a short-entry signal on the 15-minute chart when a bearish engulfing pattern forms, confirmed by a close below the 50-EMA and a bearish MACD crossover. A stop-loss could be placed above the nearest resistance level, with a target aligned with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. Given the recent price action, this strategy would have generated a valid signal at 04:15 ET, with the stop and target levels clearly defined. This strategy may be most effective in a strong bearish trend like the one observed today, with high conviction provided by volume and momentum indicators.
