Structure & Formations

The candlestick formations revealed a complex narrative of bearish dominance followed by cautious bullish participation. A large bearish candle opened the bearish leg of the session, forming a strong rejection of higher prices near 0.0005037. A subsequent bullish reversal pattern emerged in the afternoon, forming a potential short-term support level near 0.0004900. Key support levels include 0.0004890 and 0.0004874, with resistance at 0.0004920 and 0.0005020.

Moving Averages

The 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 15-min chart suggest a bearish bias as price closed below both in the final hours of the session. Daily moving averages (50/100/200) also indicate a bearish bias, with price currently below the 50-day MA and showing no signs of near-term reversal. The alignment of short-term and long-term averages suggests sustained bearish pressure could persist unless a strong breakout from 0.0005020 materializes.

MACD & RSI

The MACD showed a bearish crossover in the early morning, followed by a flattening trend in the mid-day session. RSI remained in mid-range territory throughout the day, indicating moderate momentum without overbought or oversold extremes. This suggests market participants may be balancing between caution and opportunistic long entries in the aftermath of the initial sell-off.

Bollinger Bands

Price spent the majority of the session within the Bollinger Bands, with a brief but significant expansion occurring around 10:15 ET. The band expansion coincided with the large-volume candle, indicating a surge in volatility. Price remained near the lower band in the final hours, suggesting potential for a bounce or continued consolidation near key support levels.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked dramatically at 10:15 ET, with a notional turnover of $134.8 million, indicating aggressive price action. The volume was followed by a significant drop-off, suggesting exhaustion in the bearish move. The divergence between price and volume in the final hours suggests that bears may be running out of steam, but buyers have yet to step in with conviction.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci levels from the recent 15-min swing (0.0005037 to 0.0004874) suggest potential support at 0.0004937 (23.6%) and 0.0004904 (38.2%), with a 61.8% retracement at 0.0004874 aligning with the session low. A break below 0.0004874 would likely trigger deeper testing of the 0.0004850 level. Conversely, a rebound above 0.0004937 could test the 0.0005020 resistance level again.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy is based on a dual-signal system that triggers a sell when price breaks below the 20-period moving average and RSI dips below 30. A buy signal is generated when price crosses above the 20-period MA and RSI rises above 70. Given the recent behavior of SPELLUSDT, the system would have generated a sell signal in the early morning hours, aligning with the large bearish candle. However, the subsequent partial rebound would have triggered no further signals, suggesting a possible need for additional confirmation filters to avoid false triggers during volatile periods.
