Structure & Formations

Price broke key resistance at 0.03402 and consolidated below critical support at 0.03391 for much of the session. A bearish engulfing pattern formed at 0.03411–0.03427 before 17:45 ET–1, and a morning breakdown at 0.03391 signaled ongoing bear pressure. Doji formed near 0.03398, suggesting indecision, but volume and price failed to confirm any reversal. The final candle closed at 0.03367, forming a bearish confirmation of the day’s trend.

Moving Averages

HOMEUSDT traded below both the 20-period and 50-period SMAs on the 15-minute chart, indicating bearish bias. The 50-period SMA at 0.03416 and the 20-period at 0.03402 acted as overhead resistance. On a longer time frame, the pair closed below the 100- and 200-period SMAs, reinforcing the bearish structure.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line closed below the signal line with a bearish histogram, confirming ongoing sell pressure. RSI dropped below 30 in the final 6 hours, signaling oversold conditions but with no clear bullish follow-through. A divergence between the bearish price trend and a flattening RSI suggests exhaustion in the short term, though further bearish movement could reinvigorate the trend.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded in the early afternoon with price reaching the upper band at 0.03443 before contracting in the final 4 hours. Price closed near the lower band, signaling potential for a bounce or continued bearish movement. The contraction suggests a period of consolidation may precede the next directional move.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked in the early afternoon with the 17:45–18:00 ET–1 candles showing over 1.0M contracts traded. However, the final 6 hours saw a sharp decline in volume, suggesting waning conviction in the bearish move. Notional turnover was highest between 17:45–18:15 ET–1, with the 20:30–21:00 ET–1 period showing bear confirmation on strong volume.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, the 0.03377–0.03443 swing saw a 61.8% retracement at 0.03407, which acted as key resistance. The 38.2% retracement at 0.03394 was tested twice but failed to hold. Daily Fibonacci levels based on the 0.03336–0.03443 swing show 61.8% at 0.03407 and 38.2% at 0.03394—both key levels for near-term direction.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtest strategy could involve entering short positions on the 15-minute chart when price breaks below a 50-period SMA after forming a bearish engulfing pattern, with a stop above the high of the engulfing candle and a target at the 61.8% Fibonacci level. This strategy would be confirmed with RSI crossing below 50 and MACD line turning negative. The recent breakdown at 0.03391 fits this setup, and if the 61.8% retracement at 0.03336 holds, the strategy could capture a 1.67% move. Volume spikes in the afternoon support the strategy's effectiveness.
