At 12:00 ET − 1, WIFUSDT opened at 0.461 and reached a high of 0.470 before closing at 0.400 at 12:00 ET. The 24-hour low was 0.398, and the pair traded with a total volume of approximately 18.4 million WIF and a notional turnover of $6.8 million.

The price action revealed a strong bearish bias, with multiple engulfing patterns and a long lower shadow during the early hours of the session. A breakdown from key support levels was evident after 05:30 ET, leading to a 14% decline. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages were both bearish, with the 20SMA crossing below the 50SMA to signal a bearish crossover on the 15-minute chart. Daily moving averages (50/100/200) remained aligned in a downtrend, with the 50DMA acting as a resistance near 0.440–0.450.

MACD turned negative after 05:30 ET, confirming the bearish momentum, while RSI fell into oversold territory below 30 for most of the day. Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the selloff, with the price hovering near the lower band for much of the session. Volatility spiked as the bands widened, suggesting a continuation of the downward move is likely unless a strong bullish reversal occurs.

Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the 0.470–0.398 swing showed 0.415 (38.2%) and 0.405 (61.8%) as potential short-term support zones. A break below 0.398 could test the next level at 0.388. The volume profile suggested accumulation in the 0.420–0.440 range, but with recent divergence, traders should remain cautious.

Backtest Hypothesis

A backtest using candlestick pattern recognition—specifically the Bearish Engulfing pattern—could provide insight into potential reversals or continuations in WIF/USDT’s price action. By identifying instances where a large bearish candle fully engulfs a smaller bullish candle, one could assess the predictive power of this formation in the context of WIF’s high volatility and short listing history.

Given the lack of historical data prior to the token’s likely listing (mid-2024), a more focused backtest using 15-minute intervals from a known exchange (e.g., Binance or OKX) would be more effective. Adjusting the back-test start date to 2024 would reduce data gaps and improve accuracy.

Looking ahead, WIFUSDT may test the 0.400–0.398 level for consolidation or a potential rebound. A strong close above 0.415 could signal a short-term countertrend, but a continuation of the bearish bias remains likely. Traders should monitor volume patterns and Fibonacci levels for directional clues, with a risk caveat that further downside could accelerate if bearish momentum remains unchecked.
