Structure & Formations

The price pattern for BNTUSDT displayed a bullish breakout in the early part of the session, followed by a bearish breakdown from the 0.7030 level, forming a key support-turned-resistance zone. A bearish engulfing pattern emerged around 19:30–20:30 ET, confirming the reversal from 0.708 to 0.7026. Additionally, a doji formed at the end of the session near 0.6993, signaling indecision and potential for a near-term reversal or consolidation.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages intersected during the 20:00–22:00 ET window, indicating a potential shift in trend. While the 20SMA crossed above the 50SMA early in the session, it then crossed back below, suggesting a weakening bullish bias. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA sits above the 100 and 200-period MAs, suggesting a longer-term bullish bias despite the intraday bearish reversal.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line moved from positive to negative territory, reflecting a loss in bullish momentum during the late afternoon. RSI remained in a sideways range near 50 for most of the session, indicating a lack of overbought or oversold conditions. However, the divergence between price and RSI during the late 19:00–20:30 ET sell-off suggests weakening conviction in the downward move.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility was moderate, with price staying within the Bollinger Bands for much of the session. A slight expansion occurred between 19:00–20:30 ET, coinciding with the sharp pullback. Price closed near the middle band at 0.6993, indicating a potential return to the mean or a continuation of consolidation around key psychological levels.

Volume & Turnover

Volume was unevenly distributed, peaking sharply between 19:00–20:30 ET during the significant pullback, with a total volume spike of nearly 10,000. However, notional turnover remained relatively flat during this period, indicating lower conviction despite high volume. A divergence between price and turnover during this period could hint at a lack of follow-through in the bearish move.

Fibonacci Retracements

Key Fibonacci retracement levels were evident around 0.7030 (38.2%) and 0.7005 (61.8%) on the 15-minute chart. The breakdown below 0.7030 confirmed a bearish bias, with the 61.8% level acting as a temporary floor during the consolidation phase. On the daily chart, the 61.8% level of the recent uptrend aligns with 0.698–0.699, which may offer support in the coming session.

Backtest Hypothesis

The described backtesting strategy involves entering a long position when the 20SMA crosses above the 50SMA on the 15-minute chart and the RSI is below 50, with a stop-loss placed at the most recent swing low and a target set at the nearest Fibonacci 61.8% level. Given the morning session's bullish crossover and RSI below 50, this strategy would have entered a long at 0.6921, but the subsequent bearish engulfing pattern and 50SMA crossover downward invalidated the trade by 19:30 ET. A modified approach could include a trailing stop or a reversal condition upon RSI crossing above 50 after a key pattern, as seen in the doji near 0.6993 at session close.
