Structure & Formations

Price action displayed a bearish consolidation pattern from ~0.0118 to ~0.0115, with several bearish engulfing and bearish harami patterns observed during the session. A notable bearish reversal candle was seen at 2025-11-11 14:45 ET, where price plummeted from ~0.01163 to ~0.01136 amid a massive volume spike. A 0.0114–0.0115 level appears to act as strong short-term support, with a potential rebound or consolidation expected here.

Moving Averages & MACD

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages were aligned bearishly, with the price closing beneath both, reinforcing the downtrend. The MACD showed a bearish crossover with a negative histogram, suggesting continued bearish momentum. Over the daily time frame, the 50/100/200 MA alignment remained neutral to bearish, with price trading below all three.

RSI & Bollinger Bands

RSI dipped to ~29 by the end of the 24-hour window, entering oversold territory and indicating a potential short-term pullback. However, the strength of the bearish move and volume suggest that a rebound could be short-lived. Bollinger Bands widened in the early ET hours, showing increased volatility. Price spent a large portion of the day near the lower Bollinger band, with the last candle dipping below it at 0.01136—confirming extreme weakness.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged late in the session, particularly from ~14:30 to 15:45 ET, when turnover spiked as price dropped from ~0.0116 to ~0.01136. This divergence between price and volume—where volume increases as price drops—suggests strong bearish conviction. No significant divergence was seen between price and turnover during the morning hours, indicating orderly trading before the selloff.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci levels applied to the 15-minute move from 0.0111 to 0.01194 identified key potential bounce levels at 0.01154 (61.8%) and 0.01163 (50%), which could offer near-term support. On the daily chart, a 61.8% retracement at ~0.01145 may act as a psychological floor if the bearish trend continues into the next 24 hours.

Backtest Hypothesis
Given the observed bearish consolidation and oversold RSI condition, a short-term long bias could be tested using a strategy that triggers a buy when RSI closes below 30 and price forms a bullish reversal pattern (e.g., hammer, morning star) near a Fibonacci level. Using the standard RSI(14) with a 30 oversold threshold and FIO_USDT (assuming “FIO_USDT” is the correct symbol for this pair), a back-test could confirm whether oversold bounces are reliable in this context. A stop loss could be placed below the most recent swing low, while take profit aligns with the next Fibonacci level on the 15-minute chart. This approach may work best during high-volume periods and could be enhanced by incorporating volume divergence as a confirmation filter.
