MACD showed a bearish crossover in the morning with a significant bearish histogram, indicating a loss of upward momentum. The RSI dropped into oversold territory after the morning high, but failed to trigger a strong rebound. Bollinger Bands widened overnight, and price remained below the 20-period band for much of the session, reflecting high volatility. The 50-period daily moving average currently sits at $0.003190, with the 200-period daily at $0.003180, suggesting a possible short-term bounce toward the 50-day level.

Fibonacci retracements applied to the morning high and midday low showed a 38.2% level at $0.003198 and a 61.8% level at $0.003178. Price tested both levels during the afternoon session. Volume spiked in the 09:30–10:00 ET window but failed to confirm a bearish break of the $0.003177 level. Notional turnover increased alongside volume but did not support a strong price move, hinting at distribution. These dynamics suggest that while bearish pressure is strong, support at key levels could attract buyers.

Over the next 24 hours, price may test the $0.003184 support level, with a potential bounce toward $0.003195 if buyers step in. However, a break below $0.003178 could lead to further declines. Traders should watch for a bullish divergence in RSI and a breakout above the 50-period moving average as potential reversal signals. Risk remains on the downside in the short term.

Backtest Hypothesis
A potential backtesting strategy involves entering a long position on a bullish engulfing pattern, confirmed by a close above the 50-period moving average on the 15-minute chart, with a stop loss placed below the most recent swing low and a target of the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. The strategy would close the position if RSI enters overbought territory or a bearish divergence is confirmed. This approach would aim to capture short-term bounces from key support levels while managing risk through defined stops and targets. Given today’s pattern and RSI behavior, a similar setup could have captured a rebound from the morning low.
