Structure and formations on the 15-minute chart suggest a bearish trend continuation. A significant Bearish Engulfing pattern appeared around 22:00–00:00 ET, followed by a long bearish shadow as price fell to 0.197. Key support levels include 0.198–0.197, with 0.206–0.208 as the next likely point of resistance. The 50-period EMA on the 15-minute chart moved lower, reinforcing the bearish momentum.

MACD turned negative late in the session, with a bearish crossover occurring just before the major sell-off. RSI dipped below 30, signaling oversold conditions but without a reversal signal. This suggests the pair could remain under pressure for a short time. Bollinger Bands show price near the lower band, indicating a potential contraction in volatility that may precede a reversal or continuation.

Volume and turnover spiked significantly during the final 3 hours of the session, especially as the price fell to 0.198 and 0.197. This suggests strong distribution or panic selling by retail or algorithmic traders. There is some divergence between volume and price, with the most intense price drop occurring on relatively moderate volume, which could point to exhaustion or forced liquidation.

Fibonacci retracements applied to the 0.214–0.197 move highlight 0.203 as a potential retracement level and 0.200 as the 61.8% level. The 0.199–0.198 zone is already consolidating as a key support level. On the daily chart, the 50 and 100-period EMAs remain bearish, with the 200-period EMA still above the current price, suggesting longer-term bearish pressure.

The backtest strategy described focuses on identifying and acting upon Bearish Engulfing patterns in candlestick charts. This pattern typically appears when a large bearish candle follows a smaller bullish candle, signaling a potential trend reversal. Given the 1000CATTRY data, the Bearish Engulfing pattern was evident around 22:00–00:00 ET and led to a significant drop in price. If this pattern were to be used as a sell signal, a "sell-on-detection" approach would have triggered a short position at that point. The validity of this approach in 1000CATTRY may depend on the market depth and liquidity, but based on the strong reaction observed in the data, it appears to have worked effectively in this case.
