Structure & Formations

Price formed a strong bearish engulfing pattern at 18:00 ET (Oct 3), confirming a short-term reversal. Multiple inside bars and lower highs in the final 6 hours point to fading bullish conviction. A 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from the 17:15–18:00 bullish swing lies near $0.0360–0.0362, which appears to be a strong short-term support. No clear reversal pattern has formed at this level yet, but price has bounced off it twice in the last 4 hours.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages have crossed into bearish territory, with the 20SMA below the 50SMA. The 50-period MA is currently at $0.0367, and the 20-period MA at $0.0365. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA is above the 200-period MA, suggesting medium-term bullish potential, but short-term momentum has clearly shifted lower.

MACD & RSI

MACD turned negative after 19:00 ET with a bearish crossover, and the histogram has remained below zero since 20:00 ET. RSI dipped into oversold territory near 30 during the final 4 hours of the 24-hour window, signaling potential short-term support at $0.0356–0.0358. However, RSI remains within its oversold range, indicating no immediate reversal signal yet.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands have widened significantly in the final 6 hours, reflecting increased volatility. Price has tested the lower band multiple times, with the most recent touch at $0.0358. The 20-period standard deviation has increased, and price remains within the lower half of the bands, indicating continued bearish pressure with potential for consolidation.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged in the final 3 hours, with two 15-minute candles at 15:45 and 16:00 ET showing volumes exceeding 4 million units. This increase in volume aligns with the sharp decline to the 24-hour low, suggesting possible accumulation by longs or distribution by shorts. Notional turnover also rose significantly during this period, confirming price movement with volume.

Fibonacci Retracements

A key 61.8% retracement level from the 17:15–18:00 bullish swing lies near $0.0360–0.0362, which appears to be acting as a floor. If price breaks below $0.0355, the next 38.2% level at $0.0351 could provide a temporary rebound level. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement from a recent bullish leg lies around $0.0350, which may become a more important support in the medium term.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy could involve entering short positions on confirmation of a bearish engulfing pattern near key resistance levels, with a stop-loss above the high of the engulfing candle and a target aligned with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. This approach could be enhanced by using RSI as a filter—only entering when RSI exceeds 60 (indicating overbought conditions) and diverges from price. Exit signals could be triggered on a 50-period MA crossover or a RSI return to neutral territory (40–60).
