Structure & Formations

Price formed multiple bearish candlestick patterns, including a long lower shadow at 10:15 AM ET and a morning star reversal at 10:45 AM ET. A key support level appears to have formed near 1.225 after multiple retests, with 1.35 acting as a strong resistance. A doji at 10:30 PM ET signaled indecision, followed by a sharp bearish reversal.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, price closed below both the 20 (1.272) and 50-period (1.285) moving averages, confirming a short-term bearish trend. On the daily chart, the 50-period (1.332) is above the 100-period (1.305), which in turn is above the 200-period (1.268), indicating a longer-term bearish structure.

MACD & RSI

MACD turned negative in the final hours, with a histogram showing increasing bearish momentum. RSI dropped into oversold territory (near 30) by mid-morning, suggesting a potential bounce could be on the cards. The RSI/price divergence suggests a short-term bottoming process might be underway.

Bollinger Bands

Price moved well outside the Bollinger Bands during the overnight rebound, reaching the upper band briefly at 1.269 before retreating. Volatility contracted in the early hours of the morning, setting the stage for the large 10:45 AM ET move. Price has since consolidated near the lower band, suggesting continued bearish pressure.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged to 35,080.71 at 10:45 AM ET as price rebounded from 1.224 to 1.250, aligning with the move above the 20-period MA. A divergence in volume occurred at 12:15 PM ET, where price closed lower but volume remained muted, potentially hinting at a pause in the downtrend.

Fibonacci Retracements

Key Fibonacci levels from the overnight low to the 1.269 high include 61.8% (1.243) and 38.2% (1.256). Price currently sits near the 61.8% level, which may act as a temporary floor. Daily retracements suggest a possible bounce from the 1.225–1.23 level, but a break below that would target 1.200.

Backtest Hypothesis

The MACD-based strategy described in the backtest hypothesis could offer additional clarity on short-term trend validity. A Golden Cross (MACD line crossing above the signal) has not occurred in the past 24 hours, but a potential Death Cross was confirmed as the line crossed below the signal line. This suggests the strategy would have issued a sell signal based on the 24-hour data, aligning with the current bearish bias. A backtest from 2022 to 2025 could reveal how effective this strategy has been historically in capturing trends on the 0G/USDC pair.

Over the next 24 hours, 0G/USDC may test its key support level near 1.225 before potentially finding a short-term bottom. However, increased bearish momentum and a negative MACD suggest that further downside remains a risk, particularly if volume fails to pick up on a rebound. Investors should closely monitor for a breakout above 1.256 for a sign of reversal.
