Structure & Formations

The price action showed a distinct breakdown in the 15-minute chart, with a bearish engulfing pattern forming at 0.0001391 on the candle closing at 0.0001396. This was followed by a series of lower lows and lower highs, suggesting bearish momentum. A strong support level at 0.0001368 was tested twice, but failed to hold during the final 15-minute candle of the session. A doji formed at 0.000142, indicating indecision and a potential reversal signal, though it was followed by further selling.

Moving Averages

The 15-minute chart revealed that the 20SMA and 50SMA moved downward, tracking the bearish trend. On the daily chart, the 50DMA and 200DMA crossed below the 100DMA, reinforcing the bearish sentiment and suggesting a possible continuation of the downward trend. Prices remained below all key moving averages, indicating a lack of short-term bullish conviction.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed below the signal line early in the session and remained negative for most of the 24-hour period, confirming bearish momentum. The RSI moved into oversold territory below 30 during the final hours, signaling a potential rebound, though no significant reversal occurred. This suggests that the RSI may have been misleading, and price action took precedence in the sell-off.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly during the last 15 minutes of the session, with the upper band reaching 0.0001383 and the lower band hitting 0.0001359. The price closed near the lower band, indicating a bearish breakout. Earlier in the day, price hovered within the bands, suggesting a consolidation phase prior to the breakdown.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged during the late ET hours, peaking at over 329 million DOGS in a single 15-minute candle. This coincided with the breakdown and a drop in price. The notional turnover also spiked during this time, confirming the price movement. A divergence between price and volume was observed in the final hour, with price falling sharply while volume did not reach a new high, hinting at possible exhaustion or distribution.

Fibonacci Retracements

Key Fibonacci levels were tested following the breakdown, with the 61.8% retracement at 0.0001384 failing to hold. The 38.2% retracement at 0.0001393 was briefly tested but not sustained. These levels acted as resistance, reinforcing the bearish momentum. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement of the recent leg up lies at 0.0001413, which may become a key resistance on any short-term rebounds.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy involves entering a short position when a 15-minute bearish engulfing pattern forms near a key Fibonacci retracement level (e.g., 61.8%) and when RSI confirms oversold conditions. A stop-loss is placed just above the high of the engulfing pattern, while the take-profit is set at the next Fibonacci level below. Based on today’s data, such a setup was observed at 0.0001391, with a high of 0.0001401 and a low of 0.0001396. The trade would have exited at 0.0001384, capturing a 1.2% move. This strategy could be refined by incorporating volume divergence as an additional filter, which would have helped avoid false signals in the final hour.
