Structure & Formations

The 24-hour price action displayed a bearish reversal pattern, with multiple bearish engulfing candles forming after 17:30 ET. A key support level emerged near 1.593, where price bounced twice, while resistance is likely at 1.63–1.64. A doji at 03:45 ET suggests indecision, but price failed to break above the 1.63–1.64 range.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20- and 50-period moving averages both crossed below price, confirming a bearish bias. The 20SMA crossed under the 50SMA to form a death cross. On the daily chart, the 50- and 100-period MAs are both above the 200SMA, signaling a possible continuation of the short-term downtrend.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line turned negative and crossed below the signal line after 18:00 ET, confirming bearish momentum. RSI fell to 37, indicating moderate bearish pressure but not yet oversold. However, RSI remains below 50, which supports the bearish outlook for the near term.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly during the early part of the session, with price reaching the upper band at 1.683. As the session progressed, volatility contracted and price fell closer to the lower band, reaching as low as 1.544. This suggests potential for a bounce from the lower band if volume increases.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the 20:30–21:00 ET period, coinciding with a sharp decline to 1.544. However, turnover did not increase in tandem with the price drop, indicating a lack of conviction in the move lower. Divergence between volume and price suggests potential for a reversal or a consolidation phase.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci levels to the most recent 15-minute swing from 1.683 to 1.544, price currently sits near the 61.8% retracement level of 1.613. If this level holds, it could serve as a pivot for a short-term bounce. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement level at 1.65 may act as a resistance.

Backtest Hypothesis
To refine the technical signals observed—such as the bearish engulfing patterns and RSI behavior—we recommend confirming the correct trading pair and exchange feed for MORPHOUSDT. Once validated, we can backtest a RSI-14 based strategy from 2022–01–01 to 2025–11–05, identifying overbought (RSI > 70) and oversold (RSI < 30) levels. This would provide a data-driven view of how well the asset responds to traditional momentum signals, helping to validate or refute the current bearish setup.
