24-Hour Price Action and Volume

Total volume reached 84,105,699.1 TRY, with notional turnover at approximately 15,000,000 TRY. The price action reflected a bearish bias amid declining momentum and key support levels forming near 0.176–0.177.

Structure & Formations

The candlestick pattern suggests bearish sentiment, with multiple bearish engulfing patterns and a long lower shadow at the session’s close. A potential support level forms around 0.176–0.177, which appears to have been tested and held, especially during the early morning hours. Resistance remains at 0.180, where multiple attempts to break above failed.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, price closed below both the 20-period and 50-period moving averages, reinforcing the bearish trend. Longer-term averages on the daily chart (50/100/200) are not yet available due to the limited time frame, but the 15-minute indicators suggest that short-term momentum is bearish.

MACD & RSI

The RSI fell below 30 during the late evening, signaling oversold conditions and the potential for a short-term rebound. The MACD showed a bearish crossover, with the line falling below the signal line and negative divergence forming. While this points to a continuation of the downtrend, traders should watch for a potential bounce from the 0.176–0.177 level.

Bollinger Bands & Volatility

Volatility expanded sharply after a period of consolidation, with price moving toward the lower Bollinger Band. This suggests a period of increased bearish pressure and potential exhaustion. The widening bands indicate a possible reversal could occur, especially if volume confirms the bounce.

Volume and Turnover

Volume spiked during the late evening and early morning hours, particularly between 04:00 and 07:00 ET, when the price tested the 0.176–0.177 support level. The high volume during this period suggests increased conviction in the bearish move. However, the divergence between price and volume during the morning hours raises the possibility of a short-term reversal.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci retracements drawn from the recent high at 0.180 to the low at 0.177 show key levels around 0.178 (38.2%) and 0.179 (61.8%). The price action suggests that 0.176–0.177 is a critical support zone, and a bounce from this level could see a retest of 0.178. Traders may watch for a potential break below 0.176, which could signal a deeper decline.

Backtest Hypothesis

The proposed backtest strategy hinges on two key technical indicators: RSI and candlestick patterns. Specifically, it seeks to identify instances where the RSI falls below 30 (a common oversold threshold) and is accompanied by a bearish engulfing pattern—a reversal signal where today’s bearish candle completely covers the previous day’s bullish candle. The strategy triggers a long entry at the next day’s open and targets a one-day hold, exiting at the following day’s open. This approach assumes that a bearish engulfing candle and oversold RSI indicate a high-probability entry point, potentially allowing the asset to rebound. For 1000CATTRY, this strategy would require consistent OHLC data and could be implemented using a fixed position size.
