JUVUSDC opened at 1.079 at 12:00 ET–1 and closed at 1.072 at 12:00 ET, hitting a high of 1.084 and a low of 1.068. Total volume for the 24-hour period was 21,460.75, and notional turnover amounted to ~1.08 million USDC. The pair remained range-bound for most of the day, with significant volatility and volume emerging after 17:15 ET in a sharp bearish move.

Structure & Formations

The price formed a key intraday bearish engulfing pattern during the 17:15–17:30 ET candle, confirming a breakdown from a 15-minute resistance level at 1.084. A minor support level emerged around 1.075–1.076, where price found consolidation after the sell-off. A doji formed at 00:15 ET on October 3, indicating indecision at the start of the new day. The 1.072 level appears to be a short-term support zone that may hold for the next 24 hours.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average crossed below the 50-period line just before 17:15 ET, signaling a bearish crossover. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA remains above the 100- and 200-period lines, suggesting a neutral to slightly bullish bias in the broader context. This divergence between timeframes highlights the short-term volatility without a clear directional bias.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed into negative territory during the sharp sell-off at 17:15 ET, with a bearish histogram confirming the momentum shift. RSI, while not reaching overbought territory, failed to exceed 55 for the entire 24-hour period, reinforcing a neutral-to-bearish sentiment. No clear oversold signals were generated, suggesting the move to 1.072 may not trigger aggressive buying interest.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands remained relatively contracted for most of the 24-hour period, with price bouncing between the midline and the lower band after 17:15 ET. A brief expansion occurred between 21:00–21:15 ET as the price moved higher, but volatility quickly subsided. Price sat just above the lower band at the end of the period, indicating a potential rebound to the mid-band could be in play.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked sharply at 17:15 ET with a massive 19,562.47 units traded as the price fell to 1.068. However, no follow-through volume was observed after 18:30 ET, despite continued price consolidation around 1.075. This suggests the initial sell-off lacked strong conviction. Turnover followed the same pattern, with the bulk of activity concentrated in the 17:15–19:30 ET window. A divergence between price and volume may hint at a potential reversal or pause in further downward movement.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement to the 17:15–21:00 ET swing (from 1.068 to 1.081), the price retested the 50% retracement level at ~1.075, which coincided with a consolidation period. The 61.8% retracement level (~1.077) could act as a short-term resistance. On the daily chart, retracement levels from the 2025 high suggest key areas at 1.060 (61.8%) and 1.070 (50%).

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy described involves a short-term breakout trade triggered when price closes above the upper Bollinger Band or below the lower Bollinger Band on the 15-minute chart, with a stop-loss placed at the opposite band and a target at 1.5x the range of the bands. Given the tight trading range observed today and the failed bounce off the lower band, this strategy would have generated a short signal at 17:15 ET but would have exited quickly due to the lack of follow-through. This suggests the strategy could benefit from filtering for volume confirmation or limiting trades to higher volatility periods to avoid false signals in low-conviction ranges.

The next 24 hours may see JUVUSDC testing 1.072 as a key short-term support level. A break below this could target 1.068, while a rebound above 1.075 might challenge the mid-band (~1.078). Traders should watch for volume confirmation or divergence signs, as price appears to lack strong directional conviction. A sudden increase in volume or a breakout beyond key Fibonacci levels could signal a shift in sentiment.
