Structure & Formations

Price formed a bearish engulfing pattern during the overnight hours, confirming a shift to bearish momentum after a brief afternoon rebound. A key support level appeared near 33.22–33.25 as price bounced off that range in the morning. Resistance levels at 35.0–35.25 have shown multiple failed attempts to hold, suggesting a breakdown is likely if the 33.5–34.0 range fails.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20SMA and 50SMA crossed below the price action around 03:00 ET, reinforcing bearish bias. On a daily time frame, the 50DMA currently sits at 36.5, while the 200DMA is at 39.3—both above the current price. This indicates a strong bearish tilt in the medium to long term.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed bearishly during the early hours of the morning, aligning with the sharp sell-off. RSI reached an oversold level around 28 by 03:00 ET, suggesting short-term exhaustion in the bearish move. However, the divergence between RSI and price action after 06:00 ET indicates caution: RSI improved while price remained below key levels, showing mixed momentum signals.

Backtest Hypothesis

A bearish engulfing pattern identified at 17:00 ET on 2025-11-09 triggered a sell signal. A backtest was run with a strategy that opens and closes positions on the same session’s close. Since the entry and exit prices are identical, the cumulative return was 0%. This approach highlights the importance of exit rules—such as holding for one bar, using fixed holding windows, or adding risk controls—to derive meaningful returns. If you’d like to refine the strategy further (e.g., hold for one bar, add stop-loss levels), please let me know to rerun the test with updated parameters.

The next 24 hours could see DCRUSDT consolidating near 33.40, with a possible bounce if 33.22 holds. However, a break below that could push toward 31.63. Traders should watch for a confirmation of a bearish reversal or a breakdown in the 33.5–34.0 range.
