Structure & Formations

AUCTIONBTC drifted in a narrow range between $0.0000853 and $0.0000860 for most of the 24-hour window. A breakdown occurred between 1300 and 1330 ET, where the pair dropped sharply to $0.0000851 after a large-volume candle of 178.75 BTC. A notable bearish engulfing pattern formed during that period, confirming a shift in sentiment. Support appears to be forming around $0.0000851, where two separate candles gapped lower without follow-through buying pressure. Resistance levels are visible at $0.0000856 and $0.0000858, where price has previously reversed.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages were closely aligned, indicating a lack of directional bias. However, the 20 MA crossed below the 50 MA in the early morning hours, suggesting a potential bearish crossover. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA sits slightly above the 100-period MA, while both are above the 200-period MA, indicating a neutral to mildly bearish setup over a longer horizon.

MACD & RSI

The 15-minute MACD line crossed below the signal line just before 12:00 ET, signaling bearish momentum. The histogram reflected a growing divergence in bearish strength, especially during the 1315–1345 ET period. RSI fell below 30 in the 1315–1400 ET window, suggesting oversold conditions, but price failed to find buyers, indicating a lack of conviction in the bounce.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands tightened in the early morning hours, signaling a potential breakout or breakdown. Price finally broke below the lower band at 1315 ET after a large-volume candle, confirming bearish pressure. The subsequent bounce failed to close back within the bands, suggesting the move might be extending lower. The current price is sitting near the lower band, raising questions about the sustainability of further downside.

Volume & Turnover

Trading volume surged significantly during the 1315 ET candle (178.75 BTC) amid a sharp decline to $0.0000851. However, turnover remained muted, suggesting that the move may have been concentrated among a few large participants. Volume dried up entirely during the overnight hours, highlighting a lack of interest in the pair outside of key moments. Price and volume diverged in the 0500–0600 ET window, where price stabilized while volume remained at zero—potentially signaling a lack of conviction in the short-term bottom.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the recent 15-minute swing from $0.0000860 to $0.0000851, the 38.2% retracement is at $0.0000856 and the 61.8% is at $0.0000853. Price briefly tested the 61.8% level but failed to find support, suggesting that buyers may be hesitant at that level. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement from the recent high aligns with the $0.0000858 level, where price has bounced multiple times.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy involves entering a short position on a bearish engulfing pattern confirmed by a break of the low of the engulfing candle, with a stop-loss placed above the high of the pattern. A target is set at the 61.8% Fibonacci level. The recent move at 1315 ET fulfilled the criteria, with the engulfing candle confirming a breakdown and price moving to the 61.8% level. This approach could have generated a modest short-term profit, although the absence of follow-through buying may suggest limited upside in the near term.
