Ethereum/Argentine Peso (ETHARS) opened at 6,372,290 at 12:00 ET – 1 and closed at 5,952,931 at 12:00 ET the following day. The pair reached a high of 6,372,290 and a low of 5,700,000. Total traded volume amounted to 7.51349 ETH, with a turnover of 43,889,377 ARS. The price action appears to reflect a strong bearish reversal, driven by a late-session breakdown and thin follow-through volume.

Structure & Formations

The 24-hour chart shows a bearish engulfing pattern forming as price opens above prior resistance and closes well below its intraday high. Notable support levels appear at 5,950,000 and 5,700,000. A potential breakdown of the 5,700,000 level could extend the move lower toward the next Fibonacci retracement at 5,542,787. The structure suggests that bears may have taken control for the short term, though confirmation is pending a close below 5,700,000.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA has crossed below the 50-period MA, forming a death cross. The 200-period MA remains well above the current price, indicating a strong bearish bias in the short term. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA is approaching the 200-period MA from below, suggesting a potential bearish crossover in the near term. This aligns with the observed price action and may signal a continuation of the downward trend.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram has turned negative and is declining, suggesting strengthening bearish momentum. The RSI is below 30, entering oversold territory, which may indicate a potential short-term bounce. However, the divergence between the MACD and RSI is not strong enough to suggest a reversal. The price could consolidate or even retest key support levels before any meaningful bounce occurs.

Bollinger Bands

Price has recently broken out of the lower Bollinger Band, indicating heightened volatility and bearish pressure. The width of the bands has expanded in response to the sharp price decline, confirming the increased volatility. Price now sits at a significant distance from the upper band, suggesting that the market could either consolidate within the bands or continue its descent toward key Fibonacci levels.

Volume & Turnover

Volume was subdued early in the session but spiked sharply as the price broke key support levels. The total turnover increased significantly in the afternoon and evening ET, particularly after the breakdown of 6,000,000. Price and volume appear to be aligned, reinforcing the bearish bias. However, the low volume early in the session suggests limited conviction in the move up, which may limit the potential for a near-term rebound.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the most recent 15-minute swing from 6,372,290 to 5,700,000, key levels to watch are 61.8% at 5,855,419 and 38.2% at 6,079,017. A retest of the 38.2% level could provide a near-term pivot for buyers. On the daily chart, Fibonacci levels for the broader ETHARS move are also worth monitoring for potential reversals or continuation of the downward trend.

Backtest Hypothesis

The proposed backtesting strategy relies on identifying bearish reversal patterns and breakout conditions to enter short positions. Based on the recent ETHARS movement, a bearish engulfing pattern formed in tandem with a breakout above a key resistance level — an entry condition under the strategy. The 5,952,931 close aligns with a test of key Fibonacci levels and could serve as a confirmation point for further bearish momentum. If the price breaks 5,700,000 and closes below it, the strategy would suggest maintaining the short position. For a realistic backtest, additional parameters such as stop-loss, take-profit, and holding period thresholds would need to be defined. Testing this strategy on multiple symbols and timeframes could offer more robust insights.
