The price pattern displayed a distinct bullish breakout in the early evening (ET), followed by a bearish exhaustion into the overnight session. Key support levels appear to be forming around 0.002939 (50% Fibonacci of the 0.002948–0.003081 swing), with 0.002923 as a deeper stop zone. Resistance levels are at 0.00305 and 0.00307, with the former showing multiple failed breakouts.

A 20-period and 50-period moving average on the 15-minute chart shows a bullish crossover into the evening (ET), which was followed by a bearish divergence as price fell below the 50-period line. MACD showed a sharp bullish expansion during the breakout but reversed into bearish territory with a negative histogram. RSI reached 70+ (overbought) before turning negative into the overnight session, confirming a short-term exhaustion in momentum.

Bollinger Bands expanded during the rally, indicating rising volatility, and then compressed during the pullback, suggesting a potential consolidation or reversal. The price has since retested the lower band multiple times in the past 6 hours, with a doji forming at 0.002939, signaling indecision.

The 50-period MA on the daily chart is currently at 0.00303, with the 200-period MA at 0.00306, suggesting a bearish crossover from recent bullish momentum. Fibonacci retracement levels for the 24-hour range show 38.2% at 0.00303 and 61.8% at 0.00298, which have acted as psychological barriers. A continuation below 0.002939 would likely trigger a test of 0.002923, where a reversal setup could form. Divergences between price and volume suggest a weakening rally in the latter half of the session, with the final hour showing a 41% drop in volume despite a 0.6% price recovery.

Backtest Hypothesis

The proposed backtest strategy involves entering a short position when price closes below the 20-period MA on the 15-minute chart and RSI drops below 40, while placing a stop-loss just above the 50-period MA. A take-profit target is set at 38.2% of the recent bullish swing. This setup was observed around 2025-10-07 05:30 ET when price fell below the 20-period MA and RSI dipped below 40. A stop-loss would have been placed at 0.00305, and a target at 0.00298 would have been hit in the next 3 hours. The setup aligns with the bearish exhaustion seen in the MACD and volume, and could be tested again as the price approaches 0.00294.
