Structure & Formations

The price for REQBTC moved within a tight consolidation range of $1.17e-06 to $1.2e-06 over the 24-hour period. A bearish reversal pattern emerged in the early morning session as price briefly tested $1.2e-06 before falling back. A key support level appears to have formed around $1.17e-06 following a few candles that closed near their lows. No bullish reversal patterns were observed, but a series of bearish confirmation candles suggest pressure on the lower end of the range.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period SMAs remained relatively flat throughout the day, with the 20SMA showing a slight bearish crossover late morning. This may indicate short-term bearish momentum, though the tight range prevents strong directional signals. On the daily chart, the 50, 100, and 200-period SMAs are not significantly divergent, suggesting a continuation of the neutral to bearish tone for the near term.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line remained near zero for much of the session, indicating a lack of strong momentum in either direction. A brief bearish divergence appeared in the early morning before consolidating. RSI hovered around the 50 mark for most of the day, with minor dips toward 40 during late-night volume surges. While not reaching oversold levels, the RSI suggests that bears have had a slight advantage in the last 24 hours.

Bollinger Bands

The price moved within the Bollinger Band range, with most of the session spent trading near the midline. A brief expansion in volatility occurred between 18:30 and 19:00 ET, coinciding with a sharp price drop. The price retested the lower band during the early hours of the morning, indicating a potential area of support that could attract buyers if broken.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during key reversal attempts in the late afternoon and early morning, with notable activity at 18:30 ET (14,410 units) and 01:15 ET (12,011 units). Turnover followed a similar pattern, with the largest trade occurring at 18:30 ET. Price and turnover moved in alignment, suggesting genuine selling pressure during these periods. No divergence was observed between price and volume, indicating consistent market participation.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the 24-hour swing from $1.2e-06 to $1.17e-06, the price closed near the 61.8% retracement level at $1.183e-06. This suggests a key psychological threshold that could trigger further support or resistance action in the near term. On the 15-minute chart, the 38.2% and 50% retracement levels were briefly tested, but the price failed to break through either, reinforcing the consolidation pattern.

Backtest Hypothesis

The RSI-oversold strategy relies on identifying key turning points in tight trading ranges, such as the one observed in REQBTC. Given that RSI never fully entered oversold territory (below 30), a modified approach—triggering at RSI 40 or using a combination of RSI and Fibonacci levels—might better capture early bearish momentum. Testing this hypothesis requires consistent historical data for REQBTC or a similar pair, such as REQUSDT, to ensure the strategy is robust across market conditions.
