Structure & Formations

The price of CHRBTC formed a textbook bearish flag pattern during the 21:30–00:30 ET window, with the initial selloff breaking through key support levels at 7.2e-07 and 6.2e-07. A notable breakout occurred at 21:30 ET, with a candle opening at 6.2e-07 and closing at 3.3e-07, signaling a strong bearish bias. A subsequent recovery in the late hours formed a small bullish wedge but failed to reclaim key resistance at 6.7e-07 or 7.2e-07. The formation suggests a possible continuation of the downward trend if support at 5.6e-07 breaks.

Moving Averages and MACD

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart crossed below key price levels during the initial selloff, confirming bearish momentum. MACD remained negative throughout the session, with the histogram showing a contraction in the late hours as buyers attempted to push the price back above 5.4e-07. The RSI hit a low of 15 during the selloff, indicating oversold conditions, but failed to generate a strong bounce, pointing to lingering bearish sentiment.

Bollinger Bands and Volatility

Bollinger Bands experienced a sharp expansion during the first 3 hours of the session, with the price dropping below the lower band at 3.3e-07. This expansion coincided with the highest volume spike of the day. Following this, the bands began to contract again during the consolidation phase, suggesting traders were waiting for a clear breakout or breakdown. The price currently resides slightly above the middle band on the 15-minute chart, signaling a potential pause in the trend.

Fibonacci Retracements and Key Levels

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the intraday swing from 7.2e-07 to 2.8e-07, key levels at 38.2% (6.0e-07) and 61.8% (5.4e-07) have acted as pivot points during the recovery. The current price near 5.7e-07 suggests a possible continuation of the rebound if traders can push the price above 5.8e-07 and retest the 6.2e-07 level. A breakdown below 5.4e-07 could confirm the 61.8% retracement as a new support zone.

Volume and Turnover Dynamics

Volume surged during the initial selloff, peaking at over 374,000 CHRBTC at 21:30 ET, and declined steadily during the recovery phase. The high-volume move coincided with a drop to 3.3e-07, indicating strong bearish conviction at that level. Notional turnover was significantly higher during the decline than the recovery, suggesting the buyers lacked conviction. A divergence between volume and price could signal a weakening of the bearish trend.

Forward-Looking View and Risk Caveat

CHRBTC appears to be in a consolidation phase after a sharp selloff, with key support at 5.6e-07 and resistance at 5.8e-07 likely to dictate near-term direction. A break below 5.4e-07 could reignite bearish momentum, while a move above 5.8e-07 might signal a short-term bounce. However, the lack of strong volume during the recovery raises caution about the sustainability of the rebound.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy focuses on identifying intraday breakouts from consolidation patterns, such as the bearish flag observed today. It triggers a short signal when price closes below a key Fibonacci level with increasing volume and RSI below 30. Conversely, it initiates a long bias when price breaks above the 5.8e-07 resistance with confirmation from RSI and volume. This approach aims to capture both trending and corrective moves by leveraging clear levels of support and resistance identified via Fibonacci and Bollinger Band contractions.
