RSI spiked to 72 at 17:45 ET, signaling overbought conditions, but fell sharply to 42 by 20:30 ET, reflecting exhaustion of bullish momentum. RSI later drifted toward oversold territory (near 36) at 04:15 ET but failed to trigger a strong rebound.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded sharply from 16:30 to 18:00 ET, with price peaking at +2.5σ. After 19:00 ET, price fell below the lower band, confirming bearish strength. The midline moved from 0.599 to 0.585, and the upper/lower bands tightened after 04:00 ET, suggesting reduced volatility and potential consolidation.

Volume & Turnover

A volume divergence was observed between 17:45 and 19:00 ET — falling volume with rising price — which often precedes a reversal. Price and turnover moved in tandem after 20:30 ET, confirming bearish strength.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, the 0.666 high saw a retest of the 61.8% retracement level at 0.629 (failed), and a pullback to the 38.2% level at 0.594 before breaking below 0.574. On the daily chart, the 38.2% level sits at 0.587, and the 61.8% level at 0.551. Price is currently consolidating near the 50% level, suggesting potential for a test of key support or a continuation of the downward trend.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the presence of both Bullish and Bearish Engulfing patterns in the recent 15-minute data, a backtest focusing on Bullish Engulfing signals could provide valuable insight into BANDUSDT’s behavior under similar setups. A potential backtesting strategy would involve identifying Bullish Engulfing patterns, assessing the RSI and MACD confirmation, and measuring entry efficacy and stop-loss efficiency based on subsequent 24-hour performance. Since the query for Bullish Engulfing patterns returned an internal error, manual identification of these patterns can be supplied to proceed with the backtest.
