A bearish engulfing pattern emerged at 04:15 ET, confirming the downward shift in momentum. The $0.05918 level acted as a short-term support, holding briefly during the 05:30–06:00 ET sell-off but failing again in the final hours. Notable resistance was observed at $0.06129, with multiple candlestick closes just below this level.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA moved from $0.0592 to $0.0578, while the 50-period MA shifted from $0.0596 to $0.0581 over the 24-hour period. Price remained below both MAs during the final 8 hours, indicating bearish bias. On the daily chart, the 50/100/200 MA lines were not fully available, but based on the 15-minute data, the trend appears to have reversed from bullish to bearish.

MACD & RSI

The MACD moved from positive to negative territory, with the line crossing below the signal line around 01:00 ET. This confirmed a shift in momentum to the downside. RSI peaked at 75 early in the session, indicating overbought conditions, then collapsed sharply to 33 by 06:00 ET. A bearish divergence formed between the RSI and price as the asset continued to fall despite a slight rebound in the 05:00–06:00 ET period.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands experienced a sharp expansion from 03:00 to 05:00 ET as volatility surged with the breakout. Price reached the upper band at $0.06263 before retreating to the lower band at $0.05430 in the 14:45–15:00 ET window. This wide range suggests a high-impact event or strong sentiment shifts. The narrowing of bands after 16:00 ET may indicate a potential consolidation phase, but the price remains near the lower end of the band, suggesting a possible continuation of the downward trend.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked significantly during the breakout phase, with over 1.69M USDC traded at 06:15 ET when price dropped to $0.0594. Another large-volume block occurred at 05:15 ET (265,158 USDC) when price rallied to $0.06106. However, the subsequent decline was supported by increasing volume, suggesting strong bearish conviction. Turnover diverged from price during the 05:00–06:00 ET rebound, indicating weak buying pressure.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci levels to the key 15-minute swing from $0.0588 to $0.06263, the 61.8% retracement level is at $0.06056. Price found resistance near this level during the 22:15–22:30 ET window and again at 00:45 ET. The 38.2% level is at $0.05992, which acted as a minor support during the 03:15–03:30 ET correction. On the daily chart, Fibonacci levels were not fully available due to missing historical data.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy for BABYUSDC involves entering a short position when price breaks below a 50-period EMA and RSI falls below 40, with a stop-loss above the recent 15-minute high. This would align with the observed bearish divergence in RSI and the breakdown of key support levels. The 15-minute MACD crossing into negative territory at 01:00 ET could also serve as a confirming signal for a short entry. A trailing stop or target at the 61.8% Fibonacci level at $0.06056 could be used to manage risk as the trend appears bearish in the short term.
