Structure & Formations

The candlestick formation over the 24-hour period was largely bearish, with a succession of long-bodied green candles giving way to long-bodied red candles as bearish momentum picked up. Between 17:00 and 20:00 ET, the price formed a descending broadening pattern with multiple lower highs and lower lows. Key support levels were identified at 0.00615 (tested multiple times), 0.00605, and a final low of 0.005853. Resistance levels included 0.00630 and 0.00647. A bearish engulfing pattern was visible in the 17:15–17:30 ET timeframe, signaling a continuation of the downtrend.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA (0.00626) and 50-period MA (0.00629) acted as bearish guides, with price consistently below both. The 50-period MA crossed below the 20-period MA in the late evening ET hours, signaling a bearish crossover. On the daily chart, the price remained below all key moving averages including the 50 (0.00638), 100 (0.00640), and 200-period MA (0.00642), reinforcing the bearish bias.

MACD & RSI

The MACD remained negative throughout the day, with the histogram shrinking slightly in the final hours as bearish momentum slowed. The RSI indicator touched oversold territory (30 level) near 02:00 and 05:00 ET before rebounding. While not a strong reversal signal in isolation, it suggests short-term overselling. The RSI failed to close above 50 in the 24-hour period, confirming the bearish tone.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly in the afternoon ET hours, with the Bollinger Bands widening from a narrow range of ±0.000015 to ±0.000045. The price remained below the 20-period moving average and sat near the lower band for much of the session, especially in the late ET hours. This suggests increased bearish volatility and possible short-term overselling, but the price did not breach the lower band significantly enough to trigger a reversal signal.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged to a peak of $48.79M at 17:00 ET, marking the largest turnover during the 24-hour window. However, as the price continued to fall through the night, the volume of activity gradually decreased, with the last 6 hours seeing a 60% drop in turnover. This divergence suggests that bearish momentum is waning as the price drops, and the market may be losing conviction in the downward move.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the 17:00–20:30 ET swing (high of 0.006268 to low of 0.006006), key levels include 38.2% at 0.006164 and 61.8% at 0.006065. The price found support near the 61.8% level in the early hours of the morning before breaking below it, suggesting a test of the deeper 78.6% level. On the daily chart, retracement levels from the recent high of 0.006473 to low of 0.006053 indicate 38.2% at 0.006326 and 61.8% at 0.006148, both of which were approached but not held.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy described focuses on a mean-reversion approach triggered by a combination of RSI hitting oversold levels and a bearish divergence in the MACD histogram. Given the recent behavior of RSRUSDT, this strategy could have been activated near 02:00 and 05:00 ET when RSI approached 30. However, the price failed to form a clear bullish divergence in the MACD, which would have been necessary to confirm the reversal signal. In a test scenario, a short-term long position initiated at these times with a stop loss below the 61.8% Fibonacci level and a target at 0.00615 would have seen limited gains due to the continued bearish trend. For the next 24 hours, this strategy would likely remain inactive unless a strong bullish signal emerges.
