Structure & Formations

The structure of the 24-hour 15-minute chart revealed a key resistance level near $1.076, where a bearish pinocchio candle emerged during the morning session, signaling potential rejection of higher levels. A strong bearish engulfing pattern formed at $1.069–1.068 in the late evening, confirming a shift in sentiment. Support was found at $1.050, where the price stabilized after a sharp decline. A small bullish harami pattern formed at $1.054–1.055 during the last hour, hinting at possible short-term consolidation.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages converged around the $1.069–1.070 level, indicating a critical area of interest for potential trend changes. The price spent most of the period below the 20SMA, showing bearish dominance. On the daily chart, the 50, 100, and 200-period MAs formed a flat cluster near $1.068, suggesting that the pair is consolidating around a key equilibrium point. A potential cross above the 50MA may signal a short-term bullish breakout.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram showed a bearish divergence in the morning session, confirming the price decline from $1.083 to $1.063. The RSI dropped to 26 during the early afternoon, entering oversold territory and suggesting the possibility of a rebound. However, the lack of a decisive bullish reversal indicates that momentum may remain weak unless a strong volume-driven bounce emerges. The RSI remains below 40, reinforcing a generally bearish bias.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands displayed a noticeable contraction in the early hours of the morning, followed by a sharp expansion in the early afternoon as the price moved from $1.063 to $1.085. The volatility expansion suggests a potential breakout or breakdown event. The price closed near the lower band at $1.050, indicating that bearish pressure remains strong. A close above the upper band would signal a reversal in trend.

Volume & Turnover

Volume was unevenly distributed, with a significant spike of 19,530.06 during the 15:00–15:15 ET session, coinciding with a sharp decline from $1.068 to $1.063. The high volume during that interval confirmed bearish conviction. Turnover also rose during this period, aligning with the price move. A divergence between volume and price was observed in the final 30 minutes, where volume declined despite a small rebound. This may suggest waning bullish momentum ahead of the next 24-hour cycle.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci levels were applied to the key swing from $1.050 to $1.085. The 38.2% retrace (around $1.065) and 61.8% retrace (around $1.070) were both tested during the morning and evening sessions. The price failed to hold above the 61.8% level and retreated to the 50% retrace at $1.067 before falling further. On the 15-minute chart, a minor retrace to 61.8% of the morning high occurred, but it did not result in a reversal.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy involves a mean reversion model based on 15-minute Bollinger Bands and RSI. A buy signal is generated when RSI falls below 30 and price touches the lower Bollinger Band, with a stop-loss placed at the 15-minute low of the previous candle. A sell signal is triggered when RSI rises above 70 and the price touches the upper Bollinger Band. The strategy uses the last 24 hours of PORTOUSDT data to test its efficacy in a low-volatility, fan token market context.

The results from this period show that a buy signal would have been triggered around 11:45 ET (1.054) as RSI dipped to 26 and price approached the lower band. A sell signal would not have occurred, as RSI remained below 40 for most of the session. This suggests that the strategy may be more effective in capturing short-term rebounds in fan tokens during bearish trends, but would require a stronger pullback or breakout to trigger full exits.
