Bitcoin Cash/Tether (BCHUSDT) opened the 24-hour period at $559.50 and peaked at $576.20 before closing at $536.20. The pair traded within a wide range of $531.00 to $576.20, with total volume amounting to approximately 53,457 BTC and turnover of about $29,147,571 USD. The session was marked by a strong bearish reversal in the afternoon, with a sharp decline and diverging price-volume dynamics.

Over the past 24 hours, the 15-minute chart showed a clear breakdown below the 20 and 50-period SMAs, reinforcing bearish momentum. A key bearish engulfing pattern formed around 16:00 ET, as prices fell below the prior bullish candlestick’s body. The formation of a large bearish candle at 16:00 ET signaled a shift in sentiment, followed by a confirmation candle at 16:15 ET. These patterns may indicate exhaustion in the short-term bullish phase and a potential shift to bearish dominance. The 50-period SMA is currently at $563.70 and is a key level to watch for a possible bounce or breakdown.

MACD turned negative at 13:00 ET and has remained in bearish territory, while the RSI dipped into oversold territory (below 30) at 14:15 ET, suggesting short-term overselling. Bollinger Bands show a recent expansion in volatility, with the price closing the 24-hour period near the lower band, indicating heightened bearish pressure. The 20-period Bollinger Band width increased by over 30%, indicating a widening range of uncertainty and potential for further consolidation or reversal in the near term.

Volume and turnover spiked during the bearish reversal, with the largest volume candle at 16:00 ET (6,081.698 BTC) coinciding with a price drop from $560.10 to $551.80. Turnover for this candle was approximately $3,384,000, significantly above the 24-hour average of $55,000 per candle. However, volume has since declined, suggesting that the bearish momentum may be waning. Fibonacci retracement levels of 61.8% ($549.45) and 78.6% ($542.87) of the $531–$576.20 range are likely to be tested in the next 24 hours, and a break below 61.8% could open the door for a test of prior support levels near $530.

The MACD and RSI indicators both confirmed the bearish turn in momentum, aligning with the sharp price drop observed in the afternoon. These indicators may be used in a backtesting framework to evaluate the effectiveness of pattern-based trading strategies.
