Structure & Formations

Price action over the past 24 hours indicated a gradual bearish drift with several attempts to rally, only to face rejection around the 2.93e-05 to 2.95e-05 resistance cluster. A notable bearish engulfing pattern formed during the early morning hours on 2025-09-14, confirming downward bias. Support now appears to be testing at 2.87e-05, with a potential for further decline if this level breaks.

Moving Averages

Short-term moving averages (20/50) on the 15-minute chart suggest bearish alignment, with the 50-period line consistently above the 20-period line. On the daily chart, the 50-day MA crossed below the 100- and 200-day MAs earlier this week, signaling a medium-term bearish trend.

MACD & RSI

MACD remains below the zero line with a weak negative divergence, suggesting no strong short-term selling pressure. RSI hovered near 30 for much of the day, signaling oversold conditions but without a corresponding rebound. This suggests a lack of conviction from buyers and a potential continuation of the bearish trend.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands have remained relatively narrow, indicating low volatility. Price has spent much of the 24-hour period near the lower band, which may suggest a potential for a bounce or a break below if momentum accelerates.

Volume & Turnover

Volume remained subdued across most of the day, with significant spikes only occurring during the early morning and late afternoon. These spikes, however, did not translate into strong directional moves, suggesting a lack of conviction. Turnover also remained low, with no confirmation of significant buying or selling interest.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, key Fibonacci levels from the 2.87e-05 low to 2.96e-05 high show 2.92e-05 (38.2%) and 2.90e-05 (61.8%) as critical areas of potential support. A break below the 2.87e-05 level could see price targeting the next retracement level at 2.85e-05 or even 2.82e-05 if the bearish trend continues.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy involves entering a short position when price closes below the 50-period moving average on the 15-minute chart and the RSI dips below 30, with a stop-loss placed above the 20-period MA. A target is set at 2.85e-05 based on Fibonacci retracement levels. Given today's chart action, this strategy would have triggered a short entry in the early morning hours and would have held through the majority of the day’s trading. The lack of strong buying momentum and the bearish engulfing pattern support this approach, but traders should remain cautious if volume picks up significantly, as it could signal a reversal rather than a continuation.
