Osmosis/USDC (OSMOUSDC) opened at 0.1303 on 2025-10-13 at 12:00 ET and closed at 0.1274 on 2025-10-14 at 12:00 ET, with a high of 0.1361 and low of 0.1261 during the period. Total volume traded reached 1,008,457.63, with a notional turnover of approximately $132,800, based on cumulative volume-weighted price.

The price structure suggests a bearish exhaustion pattern. The initial upward move from 0.1303 to 0.1361 was met with resistance, particularly around the 0.134 to 0.135 cluster, which failed to hold. A sharp drop followed, reaching as low as 0.1261. Key support levels emerged at 0.1285–0.1286 and 0.1271–0.1273, with price bouncing back slightly after 07:30 ET. A long bearish candle at 05:45 ET (0.1307 to 0.1289) confirmed a breakdown in sentiment. A potential short-term support could form at 0.1261, now holding a large volume cluster. Traders may watch for a retest of these levels before considering any reversal setups.

The 15-minute moving averages show a clear bearish trend. A 20-period MA crossed below the 50-period MA around 19:30 ET, signaling a bearish crossover. On the daily chart, a 50/200 MA crossover had already occurred days prior, reinforcing the bearish bias. Price is currently below both the 20 and 50 MA, indicating continued distribution. A retest of the 0.1271–0.1273 support could provide a short-term buying opportunity, but a breakdown below 0.1261 may target 0.1250–0.1240 as Fibonacci 78.6% and beyond.

MACD remained negative throughout most of the period, with a bearish divergence forming after 04:00 ET as price declined while MACD bottomed. RSI confirmed oversold conditions after 06:30 ET, dipping below 30, but failed to produce a meaningful bounce, suggesting weak conviction. Bollinger Bands widened significantly post-18:00 ET, aligning with the sharp bearish move. Price closed near the lower band, indicating possible exhaustion, but a close above the 0.1282–0.1283 level could indicate a temporary bounce.

Backtest Hypothesis
The proposed backtesting strategy aims to identify overbought/oversold conditions for Osmosis/USDC using RSI as the core indicator. By analyzing RSI values from 2022 to present, the strategy would trigger long positions when RSI drops below 30 (oversold) and exit when RSI rises above 70 (overbought), or at a trailing stop. Given the recent bearish momentum and RSI reaching oversold levels, such a strategy might have entered a short-term long position around 06:30 ET. However, the lack of a meaningful rebound suggests the need for either a tighter trailing stop or additional confirmation from volume and price structure. A refined version of this strategy could include volume filtering to confirm RSI signals, reducing false entries during low-liquidity periods.
