The 24-hour period ended at 16.63, with a total volume of 84,524.48 DCR and a turnover of $1,296,586.90. The price action reflected a sharp bearish impulse followed by a modest recovery in the final 24 hours.

Structure & Formations

Price broke down sharply from the 20.0–20.4 range to test a key support level near 12.5. A strong rebound followed, forming a bullish engulfing pattern in the final 15-minute candle. This suggests a potential short-term reversal. A key support zone appears to be consolidating near 15.48–15.53, where price bounced twice before the final rally.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are currently below the current price, indicating bullish divergence. On the daily timeframe, the 50-period MA remains above the 200-period MA, which is bearish for longer-term traders. Price is currently above the 50-period MA, suggesting some short-term bullish momentum.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram has turned positive, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line, confirming a short-term bullish shift. RSI is currently at 69, indicating overbought conditions, which could lead to a pullback in the near term. However, overbought levels have not historically signaled immediate tops in volatile assets like Decred.

Bollinger Bands

The Bollinger Bands have expanded significantly after the sharp decline and subsequent rebound. Price closed near the upper band, suggesting strong volatility and possible continuation of the upward correction. A break above the upper band could signal a stronger move toward 17.00–17.20.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the sharp drop on the 15-hour window, with a turnover of over $1.2M from 10005.85 DCR in the 21:30 ET candle. However, volume during the rebound has been more moderate, suggesting caution among buyers. The divergence between bearish volume and the current bullish price action warrants further observation.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, the 61.8% retracement level of the 12.5 to 16.63 move is near 15.75, which aligns with recent support levels. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement of the larger decline is at 15.98, a level that has been tested and held on multiple occasions.

Backtest Hypothesis

The described backtesting strategy focuses on short-term trend-following signals using a combination of RSI and volume confirmation. A buy signal is triggered when RSI crosses above 50 and volume increases by at least 30% from the previous 2-period average, with a stop loss at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the recent decline. The strategy would have generated a signal during the rebound at around 15.53–15.75, aligning with the current bullish pattern and RSI divergence. This suggests the model is capturing the early signs of a short-term reversal, but traders should remain cautious of the still bearish 50/200 MA crossover on the daily chart.
