The total trading volume for the 24-hour period was 16,882,836.85 USDT, and the notional turnover amounted to approximately $11,212,947.

Structure & Formations

The price formation from 19:30 ET onward suggests a strong bearish trend, with a large bearish engulfing pattern forming as price broke below key support levels. After 21:00 ET, the price retested the 0.000650 level multiple times, forming potential support. A bearish flag pattern is visible between 00:00 and 06:00 ET as price traded in a narrow range before breaking to the downside again. Key resistance is now at 0.000653–0.000655, while immediate support lies at 0.000645 and 0.000635.

A doji formed at 02:45 ET, signaling indecision, but it was quickly rejected, confirming bearish control. The 21:30 ET candle shows a massive bearish bar with a high of 0.000823 and a close of 0.000805, marking a turning point in sentiment.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages both trended lower during the key bearish phase, indicating bearish dominance. The 50-period MA acted as a dynamic resistance, with price failing to close above it multiple times during the 00:00–06:00 ET consolidation phase.

For the daily chart (assumed from the 24-hour close), a bearish crossover of the 50-period and 200-period MA is likely, suggesting a continuation of the downtrend for at least the next 24 hours.

MACD & RSI

The MACD turned bearish during the 19:30–20:00 ET period, with a negative crossover and a wide histogram confirming the sell-off. RSI fell rapidly from over 50 to below 30 by 20:00 ET, suggesting oversold conditions. While this may hint at short-term stability, the momentum remains bearish. A rebound to 0.000660 could trigger a pullback, but a close above 0.000670 is needed to confirm a reversal.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed significant expansion during the bearish phase, with price dropping to the lower band and even breaking it at 19:45 ET. This volatility expansion confirms a high-risk, high-reward environment. Price has remained near the lower band for most of the 00:00–06:00 ET consolidation, suggesting it is still in a consolidation phase after the large move. A move back to the upper band would require a 7% reversal in a short time frame, which is unlikely without a major bullish catalyst.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged during the 19:30–20:00 ET collapse, with the 21:30 ET candle alone showing 74 million traded volume, among the highest of the day. Notional turnover spiked from ~$1.1 million at 19:15 ET to nearly $1.2 million at 21:30 ET, confirming the bearish breakdown. After the initial sell-off, volume declined significantly as price traded sideways until 06:00 ET, suggesting short-term equilibrium but weak follow-through buying. A price rebound without a corresponding increase in volume would likely fail.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the 19:30–21:30 ET swing shows key levels at 0.000650 (38.2%), 0.000640 (50%), and 0.000625 (61.8%). Price has stalled at 0.000650–0.000653 for several hours, indicating a potential consolidation at the 38.2% level. A break below 0.000650 would target the 0.000640 and 0.000625 levels.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy described aims to exploit momentum divergences in the RSI and volume spikes during sharp bearish moves. A potential long-entry trigger would be a rebound above the 38.2% Fibonacci level (0.000650) with a bullish RSI divergence and increased volume. However, given the current bearish bias and the absence of strong confirmations, this setup is less probable in the next 24 hours unless a major bullish catalyst emerges. A short position could be considered on a breakdown below 0.000650 with confirmation from both RSI and volume.
