Structure & Formations

No bullish or bearish engulfing patterns emerged, and the session concluded with a lower close, forming a small bearish bias. A doji-like structure appeared briefly around 0.0277, suggesting indecision at mid-range levels.

Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period SMAs crossed near 0.0276–0.0277, suggesting a potential shift in momentum but no clear breakout above or below. Daily moving averages (50, 100, 200) would need to be referenced for a broader trend context, but the 15-minute chart showed no decisive breakouts.

MACD & RSI
The MACD histogram remained neutral for most of the session, with a slight bearish divergence near the close. RSI hovered between 45 and 55, indicating a lack of momentum in either direction. Price did not enter overbought or oversold territory, reinforcing the idea of a sideways, range-bound market.

Bollinger Bands
Volatility remained contained, with prices staying within the middle band for much of the session. A brief deviation downward in the afternoon brought the close near the lower band at 0.0273, suggesting a potential short-term bounce could be due.

Volume & Turnover
Trading volume peaked in the early morning hours, particularly between 00:00 and 03:00 ET, coinciding with a price rally from 0.0273 to 0.0283. However, volume declined significantly after 09:00 ET as price drifted back down, signaling weakening conviction in the upward move. Turnover mirrored this trend, with the most significant trading activity seen during the early hours.

Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci levels to the recent 15-minute swing from 0.0275 to 0.0282, price found support at the 38.2% level (0.0278) before drifting lower. The 61.8% retracement at 0.0276 held briefly but was eventually broken as price continued to trend down. On the daily chart, no clear Fibonacci levels aligned with today’s price action.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtest of a 1-day short strategy using the Bearish Engulfing pattern on DODOUSDT from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-13 delivered a cumulative return of –19.9%, with an annualized return of –2.4%. This indicates the pattern did not provide a statistically significant edge. The risk profile was unfavorable, with an average loss of –5.21% and a Sharpe ratio of –0.14. Given the weak performance, shorting based on this pattern may not be advisable without additional filters. Strategies could be refined by incorporating trend alignment, volatility thresholds, or fixed stop-loss/take-profit rules to improve risk-adjusted outcomes.
