Structure & Formations

Price action showed a bearish bias with a key 15-minute rejection at $4.59e-06 and multiple bearish engulfing patterns in the afternoon. A large bearish candle at $4.61e-06–$4.59e-06 signaled strong selling pressure. The $4.5e-06 level acted as a temporary support but failed to hold during the late afternoon, with price dipping to $4.47e-06. A doji formed around $4.48e-06–$4.49e-06, suggesting possible short-term indecision.

Moving Averages, MACD, and RSI

Short-term moving averages (20/50-period) on the 15-min chart indicated a bearish crossover late in the session, confirming the downward move. The 50-period MA on the daily chart was near $4.56e-06, suggesting a bearish bias for near-term momentum. MACD showed a bearish divergence with price, as the indicator remained negative throughout the day. RSI fell to 38 by the end of the session, pointing to oversold territory, but no immediate reversal sign was present.

Bollinger Bands and Volatility

Price remained within a tightening Bollinger Band range for much of the day, with the exception of the late afternoon sell-off. A high volatility burst occurred between $4.61e-06 and $4.47e-06, but the bands are now widening again. Price retesting the lower band at $4.5e-06 could lead to a bounce if volume increases.

Volume and Turnover

Volume spiked in the late afternoon with the $4.59e-06–$4.47e-06 move, confirming the bearish bias. However, volume dropped off after the $4.48e-06–$4.49e-06 consolidation, suggesting a potential pause in selling pressure. Turnover reached a peak during the $4.61e-06–$4.57e-06 leg, but the price failed to follow through to a new low, indicating a potential short-term reversal.

Fibonacci Retracements

Recent swings (from $4.44e-06 to $4.62e-06) show the 61.8% retracement at $4.52e-06 and the 38.2% at $4.57e-06. Price is now consolidating near the 50% level at $4.53e-06, a key psychological level. A break below the 61.8% level could target $4.48e-06 and potentially $4.44e-06.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the bearish engulfing patterns, oversold RSI, and volume divergences, a backtesting strategy could be constructed around a “bounce from oversold consolidation.” A potential setup would involve entering long near the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement ($4.57e-06) with a stop-loss below $4.54e-06 and a target near $4.59e-06. Alternatively, a short entry near $4.5e-06 could be considered if the doji fails to hold, with a stop above $4.53e-06 and a target at $4.47e-06.
