Structure & Formations

Price action displayed a bearish breakdown pattern from a prior consolidation range. A key support level at 0.3213–0.3201 was repeatedly tested, with a final rejection at 0.3166. A long lower shadow at 19:30 ET (0.3166) suggested a momentary attempt at a rebound, but it failed to hold. A doji formed at 00:00 ET, signaling indecision, followed by a bearish engulfing pattern from 01:15 to 01:30 ET. These formations indicate ongoing bearish control and potential for further testing of the 0.3160 level.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA crossed below the 50-period MA, forming a death cross. The 50-period MA at 0.3210 and the 20-period MA at 0.3195 reinforced the downward trend. Daily data (not shown) would need to be assessed for longer-term bias, but the 50/100/200-period MAs on the daily chart likely show a bearish bias based on the recent 15-minute structure.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram showed bearish divergence early in the session, with a sharp drop in the 12:45–13:00 ET timeframe. RSI hit oversold territory (below 30) at 0.3166, but failed to trigger a bounce. This suggests strong bearish conviction. A bearish crossover in the MACD line occurred around 03:00 ET, aligning with the price decline into 0.3188.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands widened sharply during the mid-afternoon sell-off, indicating rising volatility. Price closed near the lower band, a strong bearish signal. A contraction phase occurred briefly in the early morning before the breakout, suggesting a period of consolidation before the selloff. The widening bands also suggest a potential reversal if price closes above the upper band in the next session.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the 12:45–13:00 ET session, with a notional turnover of $344,664, the highest of the day. However, this was followed by a sharp price decline, indicating bearish volume confirmation. Divergence between price and volume was observed in the 09:45–10:00 ET session, where volume declined but price continued lower, hinting at weakening bearish pressure.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci levels to the recent 15-minute swing from 0.3298 to 0.3166, price found initial support at 0.3239 (38.2%) and then at 0.3215 (61.8%). The final close at 0.3188 is near 78.6%, which could be a potential turning point. On the daily chart (not fully analyzed here), Fibonacci levels would need to be applied to the broader trend to assess longer-term potential.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy could leverage the bearish engulfing and doji patterns in conjunction with RSI and MACD for early entries. A sell signal could be triggered on a breakdown of 0.3215 with confirmation by the 15-minute MACD line crossing below the signal line. This aligns with the observed price behavior and could be tested over historical 15-minute data for MANAUSDT. Given the volume spikes, incorporating volume thresholds may enhance signal quality and reduce false entries.
