Structure & Formations

The price action formed a bearish engulfing pattern around 08:00 ET when DOGEUSDT opened at $0.26871 and closed at $0.26418 after a large candle with a high of $0.26832 and a low of $0.26127. This pattern confirmed a shift in sentiment from bullish to bearish. A long lower wick at 07:45 ET (open: $0.27361, close: $0.26856) suggested failed resistance. A doji at 08:45 ET (open: $0.26383, close: $0.26297) signaled indecision and a potential reversal point.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, price broke below the 20 and 50-period moving averages during the early morning, confirming the bearish bias. On the daily timeframe, the 50 and 100-day moving averages crossed in bearish alignment. The 200-day MA acted as a psychological ceiling, with recent price action breaking below this level, suggesting a potential extended bearish phase.

MACD & RSI

The RSI on the 15-minute chart dipped below 30 during the morning hours, signaling oversold conditions. However, this did not trigger a bounce, reinforcing the bearish trend. The MACD remained negative throughout the 24-hour period, with bearish divergences forming between the price and the histogram. This suggests that bearish momentum is accelerating despite the oversold RSI.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly as price moved from the upper band to the lower band, indicating increased volatility. Price spent much of the session near or below the lower band, particularly during the morning sell-off, suggesting a continuation of the bearish trend unless a strong reversal occurs.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the early morning hours (08:15–08:45 ET) with notional turnover reaching over $43 million in those periods. The volume confirmed the price action during the bearish breakdown, as heavy selling pressure supported the move lower. A divergence between volume and price during the late morning hours (09:00–10:00 ET) may suggest some exhaustion in the selling pressure, but the trend remains intact.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the recent 15-minute swing from $0.26127 to $0.28331 showed that the price found some resistance at 61.8% ($0.2742) and 38.2% ($0.2784). On the daily chart, the 50% retracement level aligns with $0.2745, where the price appears to be consolidating after breaking below this level.

Backtest Hypothesis

A backtesting strategy could be built around the bearish engulfing pattern formed at 08:00 ET, coupled with the RSI hitting oversold levels without a reversal. A sell entry at the close of that candle ($0.26418), with a stop-loss just above the high of the engulfing candle ($0.26832), would have captured the continued bearish move toward $0.26127. This suggests the pattern was valid in this context, and it may serve as a reliable signal in similar setups.
