Towns/Turkish Lira (TOWNSTRY) opened at 0.453 on 2025-11-11 at 12:00 ET and traded as high as 0.458 before closing at 0.441 at 12:00 ET on 2025-11-12. The pair recorded a 24-hour low of 0.430. Total volume amounted to 14,902,020.0, with a notional turnover of $6,327,915.60.

The 24-hour price action displayed a bearish bias, with multiple red candles forming after the 19:00 ET session. A key support level at 0.433 was tested and held, while a failed rebound from 0.445–0.448 suggests that resistance remains intact. A notable pattern was a bearish engulfing candle at 19:30 ET, confirming the bearish momentum. A long lower shadow at 0.439 suggests some buying interest at the lower end, but it was not enough to reverse the trend.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart show the 20-period MA at 0.444 and the 50-period MA at 0.446, with the price trading below both, signaling bearish pressure. On the daily chart, the 50/100/200-period MAs are likely to concur with the current bearish bias if the price remains below key levels.

MACD turned negative with a bearish crossover, while RSI has dipped into oversold territory around 30, indicating a potential short-term bounce. However, Bollinger Bands show a widening volatility pattern, with price resting near the lower band, suggesting a possible rebound toward the 0.443–0.445 zone. Fibonacci retracement levels from the 0.458 high to the 0.430 low indicate 0.443 (38.2%) as a potential near-term support and 0.448 (61.8%) as a possible resistance.

The pair may see short-term volatility but is likely to remain bearish in the next 24 hours, with the key 0.433 support under pressure. Investors should watch for a potential rebound near 0.443 but remain cautious of further downside risks.

The RSI and MACD indicators used in the backtest hypothesis could provide valuable insights into potential oversold entries if applied to a valid ETF ticker. Momentum indicators are critical in identifying such entry points and timing market reversals.

Backtest Hypothesis
A backtesting strategy using the 14-period RSI for a specific ETF aims to identify oversold conditions where RSI drops below 30 and generates a buy signal. This approach is commonly used in conjunction with other indicators like the MACD and Bollinger Bands to filter out false signals and confirm potential rebounds. For the "Harbor Alpha Layering ETF," the correct ticker symbol is essential to retrieve accurate historical RSI data. If “HOLD” is the correct ticker, a backtest from 2022 to present could assess the strategy’s effectiveness in capturing rebounds from oversold levels. If not, a comparable ETF with similar exposure could be used as a proxy.
