Structure & Formations

Price tested a key resistance level near 0.0161, but failed to hold it, resulting in a bearish breakdown. A series of lower highs and lower closes suggest a descending trendline is forming. Notable bearish patterns include a dark cloud cover at the 18:30 ET time frame and a potential bearish engulfing pattern near the 22:00 ET low.

Indicators

The 5-minute 20 and 50-period moving averages are both bearish, with the 50 SMA acting as dynamic resistance. The MACD is negative with bearish divergence in the second half of the day. RSI is in oversold territory, raising the possibility of a near-term bounce, but only with a clear break above 0.0156 could momentum shift.

Volatility & Bands

Bollinger Bands have widened, signaling increased volatility. Price is currently near the lower band at 0.01543, suggesting it may be overextended to the downside. A retest of the mid-band at 0.0156 could be imminent if there is a pullback.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the breakdown in the 19:30–20:30 ET window, confirming the bearish move. However, turnover has declined during the subsequent pullback, which may indicate reduced conviction in the downtrend. Divergence in volume during the final leg suggests a possible short-term reversal or consolidation.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 5-minute chart, the 0.0161–0.01543 move places key support at 0.01568 (38.2%) and 0.01553 (61.8%). Price has tested the 61.8% level and is consolidating just below it. A break below 0.01543 may target 0.01532 on the 24-hour chart.

Looking ahead, SOPHUSDT may find near-term support around 0.01545–0.0155 and could retest that level in the next 24 hours. However, traders should remain cautious, as a break below 0.0154 could accelerate the downtrend and trigger larger stops.
