Structure & Formations

Price action for PROMUSDT was defined by a prolonged bearish trend, with multiple large bearish candles forming after 18:00 ET. A key support level appears around $10.70–10.80, where price has tested and bounced several times. A notable bearish engulfing pattern formed after 20:30 ET, confirming the shift in sentiment. A doji near $11.70 at 19:15 ET hinted at indecision before the downward break. Fibonacci retracements suggest 61.8% at ~$10.80 as a critical support zone.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period SMAs are in a bearish crossover, reinforcing the short-term bearish momentum. On the daily chart, price closed below both the 50 and 200-day SMAs, signaling a medium-term bearish bias. The 100-day SMA at ~$11.50 has acted as a key resistance line during rebounds.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed below the signal line, forming a bearish divergence with price. This suggests waning momentum in the downtrend. The RSI has dipped into oversold territory, currently at ~27, indicating a potential pause or reversal could be near. However, oversold readings alone are not enough to confirm a reversal without accompanying bullish volume or candlestick patterns.

Bollinger Bands

Price broke below the lower Bollinger Band after 20:30 ET, signaling a high-volatility phase. The move indicates a strong bearish impulse, but also raises the possibility of a mean retest to the upper band or a rebound off the lower band. The Bollinger Band width has widened significantly, reinforcing the volatility spike.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the key bearish move starting at 18:00 ET, confirming the strength of the sell-off. Notional turnover also increased during this period, aligning with price direction. A divergence appeared after 01:00 ET, where volume declined despite price continuing lower, indicating weakening conviction in the bearish move.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the recent 15-minute swing from $11.973 to $10.719, the 38.2% retracement is at ~$11.37 and the 61.8% is at ~$10.80. Price tested the 61.8% level multiple times, suggesting it could act as a key support for the next 24 hours. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement of the larger move from $12.055 to $10.719 is at ~$11.10, a potential resistance on any recovery.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy under consideration involves entering a long position when price closes above the 50-period SMA on the 15-minute chart and RSI crosses above 30. This would be used in conjunction with a Fibonacci retracement target at 38.2%. Given the current context, this strategy would only be valid if price breaks above $11.30 with increasing volume and a bullish MACD crossover. Otherwise, the bearish bias remains intact, and this setup could result in a false signal in the short term.
