Structure & Formations

The price of COOKIEUSDT broke through key support levels multiple times over the 24 hours, with the most significant breakdown occurring between 19:30 and 20:45 ET. A large bearish candle (19:30–19:45) opened at 0.1109 and closed at 0.1083 before a massive breakdown candle (21:00–21:15) took price down to 0.0908. A subsequent breakdown to 0.0411 confirmed bearish sentiment, with the price consolidating around 0.0879 at the 24-hour mark. Notable patterns include a bearish engulfing pattern during the 19:45–20:00 ET period and a long bearish shadow on the 0.0879 closing candle, indicating indecision and potential exhaustion in the short term.

Moving Averages and Indicators

On the 15-minute chart, the price closed below both the 20- and 50-period moving averages, reinforcing the bearish bias. A death cross appears likely as the 50-period MA is now approaching the 20-period MA from below. On a daily chart, the price is far below the 50, 100, and 200-period moving averages, indicating a deep bearish trend with no immediate reversal signals. The RSI reached oversold territory (~25) near the 0.0879 close, which could signal a potential rebound, but the MACD remains in negative territory with bearish divergence, favoring continued downward pressure.

Bollinger Bands and Volatility

Volatility surged during the breakdown phase, with Bollinger Bands widening significantly. The price dropped from near the upper band (0.1154) to deep below the lower band (0.0409) over a short 1.5-hour window. By the 24-hour close, the price was trading near the lower Bollinger Band at 0.0879, suggesting continued bearish pressure and potential for further consolidation or a temporary rebound within the channel. A retest of the 0.0973–0.0997 zone may occur if short-term traders capitalize on the oversold RSI levels.

Volume and Turnover Analysis

Volume spiked dramatically during the breakdown from 0.1109 to 0.0908 (19:30–20:45 ET), with notional turnover reaching $908,000 in a 45-minute span. This indicates aggressive selling pressure, likely from panic-driven liquidation. A smaller but notable volume spike occurred during the 0.0879 close, suggesting short-term accumulation or potential reversal attempts. The divergence between price and volume during the consolidation phase (10:00–12:00 ET) suggests weakening bearish momentum, though it remains insufficient to confirm a reversal.

Fibonacci Retracements

Using the 15-minute chart’s recent swing from 0.1154 to 0.0879, the 38.2% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels fall near 0.1037 and 0.0918, respectively. The current price is near the 0.0879 level, suggesting a potential bounce toward the 0.0918–0.0931 zone. On a daily chart, the major swing from 0.1154 to 0.0879 places the 61.8% retracement at 0.0967, which may serve as a short-term support/resistance level for the next 24 hours.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtest strategy could involve shorting COOKIEUSDT on a bearish breakout of the 50-period moving average with confirmation from the MACD and RSI showing bearish divergence. A stop-loss could be placed above the 20-period moving average or the recent swing high of 0.0973, while a target could be set at the 61.8% Fibonacci level of 0.0918. This approach would capitalize on the current bearish momentum and the breakdown in structure, assuming volatility remains elevated and the broader market conditions continue to favor selling pressure. The strategy could be tested over the next few days, using 15-minute data for entry and exit signals.
