A series of bearish engulfing patterns followed between 05:00–06:00 ET, confirming a short-term bearish bias. A notable doji appeared at 06:15 ET, indicating indecision and potential reversal, though this was not confirmed by volume or price action.

A key support level formed at $0.02180, where price found short-term buying interest multiple times. Resistance at $0.02220 appeared to cap upward momentum in the early morning hours.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20SMA and 50SMA crossed below key price levels by 05:00 ET, forming a bearish crossover. On the daily chart, the 50DMA, 100DMA, and 200DMA were all in a descending order, indicating a longer-term bearish trend. The price closed below all three daily moving averages, reinforcing the bearish setup.

MACD & RSI

MACD remained in negative territory throughout most of the session, with a bearish crossover at 04:00 ET. RSI dropped below 30 into oversold territory in the latter half of the session, signaling potential near-term support. While RSI is suggesting a potential bounce, the MACD histogram shows sustained bearish momentum, which could delay a reversal.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly in the late afternoon and early evening, indicating rising volatility. Price action spent much of the session below the lower band, especially after 04:45 ET. This suggests a strong bearish phase. The expansion may signal an end of a consolidation phase and a continuation of downward bias.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked to 1.8M on the bearish candle at 04:45 ET, confirming the move lower. Turnover also surged to a 24-hour high of $43,773 during this period. Earlier in the session, volume was more balanced, with no clear divergence between price and volume. However, as the price dropped below $0.02200, volume and turnover aligned with the bearish trend.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci levels to the 15-minute swing from $0.02262 (high) to $0.02165 (low), the 61.8% level sits at $0.02199. Price found some short-term support near $0.02195 but failed to hold above $0.02200. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement level of a broader bearish move appears near $0.02180, which has acted as a key support multiple times.

Backtest Hypothesis

The bearish engulfing pattern has historically been used as a reliable short-term reversal signal in bearish markets. Given the recent bearish engulfing patterns on the 15-minute chart (e.g., at 05:15 and 05:30 ET), and the alignment of RSI in oversold territory, a potential backtesting strategy could involve shorting on confirmation of the engulfing pattern, with a 3-day holding period. This would test the effectiveness of the pattern in the current bearish context. The strategy would require a clean bearish confirmation with strong volume, as seen at 04:45 ET, to improve signal accuracy.
