• Volatility remained high with a range of 5.7%, but volume (7,166.7 BTC) failed to confirm sharp downward moves.

• Price remained below key 20-period moving average, indicating short-term bearish bias.
OGBTC opened at 0.0001096 at 12:00 ET–1 and closed at 9.69e-05 by 12:00 ET, with a 24-hour high of 0.0001096 and a low of 9.21e-05. Total volume reached 7,166.7 BTC, while notional turnover amounted to 64,990.3 BTC equivalent. Price action showed a broad bearish bias, with a notable drop in the early hours of 10/29, followed by consolidation.
Structure & Formations
Price formed a descending broadening pattern during the 24-hour window, with multiple lower highs and lower lows after hitting a peak of 0.0001096. Key support was tested at 9.55e-05 and 9.33e-05, with the latter holding briefly but failing to show strong buying pressure. A bearish engulfing pattern emerged around 16:45 ET–1 as price closed well below the prior candle’s body, signaling bearish continuation. A doji formed around 06:00 ET, suggesting indecision in early trading, though it was quickly followed by further weakness.
Moving Averages
The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart remained above current price levels, reinforcing the bearish bias. Price has not crossed above the 20-period since 16:30 ET–1, and it now trades below both. Daily moving averages (50, 100, and 200) are not clearly visible due to lack of daily data, but the current short-term trend remains clearly below 20-period, suggesting further support tests may follow.
MACD & RSI
The 15-minute MACD showed a bearish crossover at 17:30 ET–1, aligning with the broader price drop. Histograms remained negative throughout most of the session, indicating sustained bearish momentum. The RSI remained between 30 and 50 for much of the day, with a brief dip to 28.4 around 02:30 ET. This suggests that price has entered oversold territory and may attract short-term buyers at key levels. However, no clear divergence appeared between price and RSI, weakening the case for a near-term reversal.
Bollinger Bands
OGBTC traded within the Bollinger Bands for most of the session, with volatility slightly expanding as the price approached key support levels. The bands widened slightly after 19:30 ET–1 as the price tested and bounced off 9.33e-05, but the bounce failed to carry price back toward the upper band. Current price sits near the lower band, indicating a potentially overextended condition, though without a strong reversal signal, a further drop into the 9.20e-05–9.25e-05 range remains a risk.
Volume & Turnover
Volume remained elevated during the price decline, particularly between 16:30 ET–1 and 22:30 ET–1, when turnover spiked on sharp bearish moves. However, volume tailed off significantly after 03:00 ET, even as price remained near support. This suggests that the selling pressure may be exhausting, though the lack of follow-through buying raises questions about the strength of any potential bounce. Turnover and volume moved in line with price action, with no divergence noted.
Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the 16:00–20:00 ET–1 bearish swing, key levels include 9.88e-05 (23.6%), 9.75e-05 (38.2%), and 9.62e-05 (50%). Price tested the 50% level at 9.62e-05 and bounced, but failed to hold above it. Further downward movement could see the pair testing 9.49e-05 (61.8%) and 9.33e-05 (76.4%), with the latter acting as a potential pivot point for a reversal.
Backtest Hypothesis
Given the current setup, a potential backtesting strategy would involve entering short positions on OGBTC when the price closes below the 9.55e-05 support with a bearish engulfing pattern, and closing the position when RSI turns above 50 or when the price breaks the 20-period moving average to the upside. A stop-loss could be placed above the most recent high, such as 9.75e-05, to limit risk from potential reversals. This strategy would aim to capture the continuation of the bearish bias while managing risk through clear exit and stop levels. Given the current RSI level and volume confirmation, this approach could offer a reasonable reward-to-risk ratio in the near term.
