Ethereum/Mexican Peso (ETHMXN) opened at 84,871 MXN at 12:00 ET–1, surged to an intraday high of 86,329 MXN, and closed at 82,925 MXN by 12:00 ET.

The pair experienced a rapid reversal after reaching key resistance levels, indicating strong bearish sentiment.

Structure & Formations

The 15-minute OHLC data reveals a bullish breakout above 85,664 MXN followed by an immediate bearish correction. A long bearish candle emerged at 23:45 ET, opening at 85,664 MXN and closing at 85,009 MXN, forming a key bearish reversal pattern. This was followed by a strong bearish continuation with low-volume confirmation, suggesting limited short-covering pressure. The 82,925 MXN closing price appears to test the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the previous upward swing, suggesting potential support near 82,500 MXN or 82,000 MXN as a fallback.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute timeframe, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages crossed bearishly during the early morning session, indicating a shift in momentum. On the daily chart, the 50- and 100-period moving averages have not yet crossed, but the 200-period line remains a key long-term resistance. ETHMXN closed below both the 50- and 200-period lines, reinforcing bearish positioning.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed below the signal line during the early morning, signaling bearish momentum. The RSI dropped into oversold territory (around 30) following the sharp decline, hinting at possible near-term stabilizing behavior or a bounce from key support levels. However, divergence between price and RSI suggests caution—oversold levels can persist during bearish trends without a meaningful rebound.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed a period of contraction during the late night hours before the sharp bearish move. This volatility contraction typically precedes a breakout, which in this case was bearish. The price closed below the lower band, indicating heightened volatility and a breakdown of near-term equilibrium. If the 82,000 MXN level breaks, traders may expect a retest of the 80,000 MXN area.

Volume & Turnover

Volume remained muted during the initial bullish phase, with the largest trading activity occurring during the bearish correction—specifically between 06:30 and 07:00 ET. The large bearish candle at 06:30 ET accounted for 0.1531 ETH of the total volume, suggesting institutional or large-volume bearish participation. Notional turnover spiked during the decline, confirming the bearish conviction.

Fibonacci Retracements

Key Fibonacci levels for the recent 15-minute swing include 84,348 MXN (38.2%), 83,569 MXN (50%), and 82,669 MXN (61.8%). ETHMXN closed near the 61.8% level, which may serve as a pivot for potential short-term stability. A break below 82,669 MXN would target 82,000 MXN, aligning with the broader bearish narrative.

Backtest Hypothesis

The provided backtesting strategy emphasizes entering short positions on confirmation of a bearish reversal pattern—such as a large bearish candle or a breakdown below key support—when RSI is in overbought territory and volume spikes. Given today’s data, this strategy would have triggered a short entry at 85,664 MXN with a stop just above 86,329 MXN and a target near 82,000 MXN. While the strategy appears to align with today’s price action, success would depend on consistent bearish momentum and continued volume participation. The strategy could be optimized by incorporating time-based filters or volatility indicators like ATR for more dynamic stop levels.
