Structure & Formations

Price action reveals a key support cluster forming around 0.206–0.2085, with a few candlesticks printing near the 0.2070 level. A series of bearish engulfing patterns emerged in the late ET session on 11-03, signaling bearish sentiment. A doji formed near 0.2095 on the early morning of 11-04, indicating indecision among buyers and sellers. The 0.2110–0.2125 range has emerged as a short-term resistance zone where price has failed to break higher on multiple occasions.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages have both turned south, indicating short-term bearish bias. On the daily timeframe, the 50-period MA is above the 100- and 200-period lines, reflecting a mixed intermediate-term picture—bullish in the broader context but bearish for near-term price action. The 50-period MA stands at approximately 0.2105, currently acting as a psychological pivot for traders.

MACD & RSI

The MACD has turned negative and remains bearish, with the histogram showing a gradual narrowing—suggesting that momentum is slowing. The RSI has dipped to 31.5, nearing oversold levels, indicating potential for a short-term rebound but not a definitive reversal. However, the lack of volume on the downward moves suggests traders may be reluctant to push prices lower without confirmation.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility has expanded, as evidenced by the widening of the Bollinger Bands. Price has traded in the lower half of the bands for most of the 24-hour period, with the closing candle finishing near the lower band, hinting at possible support at 0.2089. A sharp retest of this level or a break below it could trigger further downward movement, but a reversion to the mean remains a possibility given the overextended position in the lower band.

Volume & Turnover

Volume has remained elevated throughout the 24-hour window, with the most significant spikes occurring during the early morning and late afternoon ET hours. However, volume failed to confirm the most recent bearish breakdowns, particularly around the 0.206–0.2070 level. The notional turnover has also shown a similar pattern, with the highest turnover concentrated during the 21:00–04:00 ET period. This divergence between price and volume suggests caution in interpreting further downside as definitive.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the key swing high of 0.2160 and the recent low of 0.2031, the 61.8% level at 0.2084 aligns with the current price level. The 38.2% retracement is at 0.2125, a key resistance. Price has tested the 0.2084 level multiple times, suggesting it could hold or break in the near term. A close above the 38.2% level would signal a potential reversal in the bearish trend.

Backtest Hypothesis

A backtest of the Doji-Star 3-day-hold strategy on FETUSDT since 2022 delivered a –50.8% cumulative return, with an 85.9% max drawdown and an average trade expectancy near zero. The Sharpe ratio of approximately –0.05 suggests a poor risk-adjusted return. These results indicate that the doji pattern, on its own, lacks a robust edge in this context. However, integrating additional filters such as trend bias or volume confirmation could improve the strategy’s performance. Given the current bearish structure and weak momentum, a revised approach may need to consider contrarian entries at key Fibonacci and support levels.
