The price broke below a key support at 5.22e-06 on 2025-09-21 at 17:00 ET, confirming the continuation of a bearish trend. A bearish engulfing pattern formed at the same time, followed by a series of lower lows and lower highs. A small bullish reversal pattern emerged briefly at 5.13e-06 (2025-09-21 17:45 ET), but it lacked sufficient volume to reverse the downward move.

Moving Averages and MACD

On the 15-minute chart, the 20 SMA crossed below the 50 SMA in the early hours of 2025-09-22, confirming a bearish crossover. The MACD histogram showed a consistent bearish divergence, with the line remaining below the signal line. On the daily chart, the 50 SMA and 200 SMA are both above the current price, reinforcing the bearish setup.

RSI and Bollinger Bands

The RSI has been trending below 30 for most of the day, indicating oversold conditions, though without a clear bullish reversal. Volatility, as measured by Bollinger Bands, peaked in the early hours before narrowing toward the end of the session, suggesting a potential breakout or continuation of the bearish trend. Price closed near the lower band at 4.71e-06, indicating a high probability of further downward movement if the trend continues.

Volume and Turnover

Volume surged in the early part of the session, with a high of 19,154.0 at 01:15 ET, confirming the bearish price action. However, in the latter half of the day, volume diminished, suggesting a potential lack of conviction in the bearish move. A divergence between price and volume was noted in the last 6 hours, with prices continuing to fall despite declining volume.

Fibonacci Retracements

Key Fibonacci levels on the 15-minute chart include 5.22e-06 (38.2%) and 5.12e-06 (61.8%). The price has bounced slightly from the 61.8% level but has failed to hold above it. On a daily basis, the next support is expected at ~4.59e-06 (61.8% of the recent high-low range).

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy could focus on identifying bearish engulfing patterns on the 15-minute chart, confirmed by a 20 SMA crossover below the 50 SMA and RSI below 30. A short entry could be triggered on confirmation of the engulfing pattern, with a stop-loss placed above the high of the engulfing candle. A target would be set at the next Fibonacci level (38.2% or 61.8%). Given the volume confirmation in early sessions, this setup had a higher probability of success in the last 24 hours. Integrating these signals into a systematic framework could help improve trade accuracy in volatile crypto markets.
