Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart shows a clear breakdown from a multi-hour consolidation range, marked by a bearish engulfing pattern at $18.60. A doji formed at $18.50, signaling indecision and a possible reversal. A long lower shadow at $17.87 suggests a temporary oversold condition, but the price continued to fall, indicating weak buyer support.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute timeframe, the price closed below both the 20-period (around $18.62) and 50-period (around $18.66) moving averages, confirming a bearish crossover. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA sits near $18.55, with the 200-period MA at $18.45. A potential support level may form near these averages if buying resumes.

MACD & RSI

The RSI reached a 24-hour low of 28, entering oversold territory, while the MACD line crossed below the signal line with a bearish divergence. Negative momentum accelerated after $18.65 was breached. The pair appears to lack bullish follow-through despite a brief rebound to $18.72 in the last 30 minutes, suggesting continued selling pressure.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly following the breakdown from $18.60, with prices trading near the lower band for several hours. A contraction in band width was observed between $18.65 and $18.67 before the sharp decline. Price currently resides at the lower boundary of the bands, indicating potential for a bounce or further bearish momentum if sellers take control again.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked to over 7,683 DCR during the breakdown at $18.60 and remained elevated throughout the decline. Notional turnover increased to $18.4M as the price hit $17.87, confirming the move. Divergence was noted between volume and price during the short-lived rebound to $18.72, suggesting weak conviction.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the recent 15-minute swing from $18.78 to $17.87, the 38.2% retracement is at $18.43, and the 61.8% level is at $18.65. The daily swing shows key levels at $18.53 (38.2%) and $18.59 (61.8%). The failure to hold $18.60 may indicate a test of $18.53 is likely if the bearish trend continues.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtest strategy could involve a short entry on a break below the 50-period moving average ($18.66) with a stop above the 20-period MA ($18.62) and a target near the 61.8% Fibonacci level at $18.53. This approach leverages the bearish divergence in RSI and MACD, alongside confirmation from moving average crossovers and Bollinger band positioning.
