Moving Averages

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart were both in a bearish alignment, with the price staying below both. The 50-period MA at 0.02762 provided a key reference, while the 20-period MA at 0.02769 added further bearish context. On the daily chart, the 50/100/200-day MA showed no divergence, but the price action indicated a potential short-term reversal.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed below the signal line in the mid-day, confirming a bearish turn, with the histogram showing a clear negative divergence. The RSI approached the 30 level by the end of the day, indicating oversold conditions, which could suggest a short-term bounce. However, the RSI remained below 50 for most of the 24-hour window, reinforcing bearish momentum.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed a contraction in the early hours of the morning, followed by a sharp move down that broke the lower band at 0.02668. This volatility expansion suggests increased market uncertainty and potential for further movement in either direction, though the downward bias remains strong.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked sharply during the afternoon and early evening, especially around 16:45 ET, 19:45 ET, and 20:15 ET, confirming the bearish price action. The high volume during these periods suggests strong participation and conviction in the downtrend. Notional turnover was lower during the late-night hours, indicating less liquidity and fewer participants, which may limit a quick rebound.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the swing high at 0.02809 and the low at 0.02668, the 38.2% and 61.8% levels are now at 0.02759 and 0.02719, respectively. The price is currently near the 61.8% level, which could act as a near-term support or trigger further declines if broken.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy involves a mean-reversion approach using a 20-period and 50-period EMA crossover on the 15-minute chart, combined with RSI below 30 as a trigger. The assumption is that price retests key support levels before bouncing. Given today’s strong bearish momentum and low RSI, a bounce from the 0.02727–0.0269 range is plausible, but further testing is needed to validate the strategy’s effectiveness in a consolidating, low-liquidity environment.
