Structure & Formations

The 24-hour chart shows a bearish bias, particularly from 23:15 to 01:45 ET, when a series of bearish engulfing patterns appeared. A key support level formed around 0.0267–0.0266 after a 15-minute consolidation and bearish rejection, suggesting short-term buyers are entering at that level. Resistance remains at 0.0271–0.0273, which was tested multiple times but not broken cleanly.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages have been converging in the 0.0268–0.0270 range, indicating potential indecision. The 50-period line is slightly above the 20-period line, suggesting a neutral to slightly bearish bias in the short term.

MACD & RSI

The MACD has been flat with no strong histogram divergence, suggesting the bearish pressure is not overwhelming. RSI has moved from a mid-50s neutral zone to the low 50s in the last hour, suggesting a moderate bearish shift. While not overbought or oversold, the RSI trajectory hints at potential further pullback into 0.0264–0.0263 if the trend continues.

Bollinger Bands

The price has been trading near the lower Bollinger band for much of the last 3 hours, indicating increasing volatility contraction. The 0.0264–0.0266 range aligns with the 2σ support zone, suggesting a likely bounce or continued consolidation in the near term.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked to ~633,000 at 01:30 ET when the price tested the 0.0274 high, coinciding with a large-volume bar and a bearish engulfing pattern. This volume was not confirmed by the price action, indicating indecision. Turnover at that time was ~$17,118, the highest in the past 24 hours, but it failed to push the price higher.

Fibonacci Retracements

A key 61.8% Fibonacci retrace level at 0.0267 has held as a psychological floor since 03:45 ET. The price tested this level twice in the last 2 hours but failed to break through, indicating possible buying interest at that level. A breakdown below 0.0263 could target the 0.0259–0.0260 area based on 15-minute swing data.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the appearance of bearish engulfing patterns on the 15-minute chart, particularly at 0.0270–0.0274, a backtest strategy could be built to short on confirmation of such patterns with a 1-day target. If we applied this strategy to a highly liquid asset like SPY or a broad basket of S&P 500 stocks, it could yield insights into the effectiveness of bearish reversal signals in fast-moving markets. Integrating a 1.5% stop-loss and a 3% take-profit threshold would add risk control. Further testing would require detecting all bearish engulfings since 2022, generating 24-hour short signals, and backtesting against real market data to assess profitability.
