Structure & Formations

The chart showed a bearish continuation pattern, particularly in the early morning hours, with price failing to retest the $2.25 level after a brief rebound. Key support levels at $2.103–$2.108 were tested multiple times, showing strong bearish control. A long lower shadow and narrow body in the $2.11–$2.12 range indicated indecision among traders. On the resistance side, $2.13–$2.146 were repeatedly rejected, forming a short-term ceiling.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average remained below the 50-period line, reinforcing the bearish bias. Both lines sloped downward, with price lingering beneath the 50-period MA. For the daily timeframe, the 50-period MA is below the 100- and 200-period lines, indicating that the broader trend remains bearish. The 200-period MA is currently acting as a strong long-term resistance.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed below the signal line early in the session, confirming bearish momentum. The histogram showed a consistent contraction, suggesting the selloff was losing steam near the $2.11–$2.12 range. The RSI approached oversold levels (below 30) in the morning hours, hinting at potential short-term bounce. However, without a strong bullish candlestick pattern, this remains speculative.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly in the early morning hours when the lower band reached $1.92. Price action moved closer to the lower band for most of the session, indicating oversold conditions and bearish pressure. A consolidation phase developed near the $2.11–$2.12 level, which is approximately one-third of the band’s width. This suggests traders may be waiting for a catalyst to re-engage the market.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the selloff in the early morning hours, confirming bearish sentiment. Turnover also increased in the $2.12–$2.13 range, but price failed to hold above that level. A divergence emerged between price and volume near $2.11–$2.12, with volume shrinking even as price found a short-term base. This suggests weak conviction in a potential reversal.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the most recent 15-minute swing from $2.289 to $1.92, the 61.8% retracement level is at $2.14, aligning with prior resistance. The 38.2% level is at $2.116, which the price touched but failed to hold. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement of a larger bearish move is near $2.28, reinforcing the idea that the short-term bottom may be forming around $2.10–$2.11.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the challenges in retrieving MACD data for the correct symbol format, it would be prudent to verify the accurate ticker symbol before conducting a MACD-based backtest. Once confirmed, a potential strategy could involve a MACD Golden Cross (signal line crossover above the MACD line) at key support levels such as $2.103–$2.108 or the 61.8% Fibonacci level at $2.14. A short-term long entry on a bullish reversal pattern with confirmation from RSI divergence and Bollinger Band contraction could be backtested to evaluate its efficacy in this volatile environment.
