Moving Averages

Price closed below the 20SMA (0.002405) and 50SMA (0.002415), confirming bearish momentum. On the daily chart, price also fell below the 50D (0.002430), 100D (0.002445), and 200D (0.002460) SMA lines. The convergence of these moving averages below the price strengthens the bearish bias.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed below zero with a bearish signal line (death cross), while RSI reached oversold territory (30–34) during the afternoon of 2025-11-12. These readings suggest a temporary pause in the downward move but do not confirm a reversal. Momentum remains bearish.

Bollinger Bands

Price traded outside the lower Bollinger band for over 60% of the 24-hour period, with volatility expanding due to increased downside pressure. The width of the bands widened as the downtrend continued, suggesting heightened uncertainty in the market.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked sharply at 16:30 ET on 2025-11-12, coinciding with the price break below 0.002330. This confirmed the bearish breakout. However, volume during the last 3 hours of the 24-hour period remained muted, which suggests that conviction in the bearish move is waning.

Fibonacci Retracements

The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level on the recent 15-min swing (0.002485–0.002360) is at 0.002372, which aligns with current price levels. This suggests a potential consolidation zone. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement of the 0.002526–0.002284 move is at 0.002318, a key support level.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting of a MACD death-cross and oversold RSI strategy on BANANAS31USDC over the period from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-12 revealed negative expectancy. The strategy generated a cumulative return of -28.38% with an annualized return of -19.6%. The worst drawdown reached 45.9%, and the Sharpe ratio was –0.38, indicating poor risk-adjusted performance. Only one trade returned +21%, while another lost -40.9%. The results suggest that the combination of these indicators may not be suitable for BANANAS31USDC without additional filters such as trend confirmation or tighter stop-loss rules.

Looking ahead, the 24-hour window may see a test of the 0.002300–0.002325 support zone. A break below this level could target 0.002250, but a rebound here may spark short-term buying interest. Investors should remain cautious given the weak risk-adjusted returns from similar strategies and the elevated drawdown risk.
