• Price declined sharply after an early morning high of 1,858,542 ARS.

BNB/Argentine Peso (BNBARS) opened at 1,821,536 ARS at 12:00 ET − 1 and surged to a high of 1,858,542 ARS before retreating sharply. The pair closed at 1,679,478 ARS by 12:00 ET, down 9.6%. Total volume traded over the 24-hour window was 51.72 BNBBNB--, with a notional turnover of approximately $8.52 million.
The candlestick pattern over the 15-minute timeframe revealed bearish engulfing formations, particularly during the late morning and early afternoon ET. A key support level at 1,680,000 ARS appears to have held as a psychological floor, though the price dipped below it in the final hour. A large bearish candle formed around 05:00 ET with a range of 39,012 ARS, marking the most aggressive downward move of the day.
The 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart turned bearish as price action broke below both. The 20-period MA crossed under the 50-period MA, signaling a bearish crossover. The 50-period MA itself dropped from 1,810,000 to 1,760,000 ARS over the past 24 hours. On the daily chart, the 50/100/200 MA crossover remains bullish in the broader BNB-USD context, but the sharp decline in BNBARS suggests a divergence.
Bollinger Bands reflected heightened volatility during the morning and early afternoon, with price bouncing off the lower band multiple times. The RSI (calculated synthetically from USD price and USD-ARS rates) dipped below 30 during the final two hours of the period, indicating oversold conditions. However, this divergence from price action suggests the bearish trend may persist, at least in the near term.
The MACD line and signal line crossed bearishly in the early morning hours, with the histogram showing a strong negative divergence. The 15-minute MACD indicated sustained bearish momentum during the critical 05:00–07:00 ET window.
Fibonacci retracements drawn from the key 15-minute swing high (1,858,542 ARS) to the swing low (1,679,478 ARS) highlighted the 61.8% level at around 1,725,000 ARS as a potential area of interest. This level may act as a reentry point for short-term traders. The 38.2% retracement at ~1,767,000 ARS appears to be a key resistance ahead of that.
Looking ahead, the next 24 hours may see a test of the 1,650,000 ARS level, with a risk of further declines in the event of macroeconomic uncertainty or Argentina’s FX policy shifts. Investors are advised to monitor the 1,680,000 ARS level closely, as a break below may trigger larger institutional selling.
Backtest Hypothesis
In the absence of a direct RSI for BNBARS, one viable approach is to synthesize a BNB/ARS price series by multiplying the USD price of BNB by the USD-ARS exchange rate. This method would allow for an accurate RSI calculation and enable a backtest of the overbought-sell strategy. Alternatively, using BNB-USD as a proxy might be simpler but less precise due to the inclusion of FX volatility. The overbought-sell strategy could be tested using the synthetic RSI with the following parameters: sell when RSI exceeds 70, with a stop-loss and take-profit range based on the most recent swing highs and Fibonacci levels. Given the observed bearish divergence and RSI oversold conditions, this approach may help validate the current bearish bias.
