Structure & Formations

Price action formed a bearish continuation pattern after a key breakdown from 0.3450–0.3500 support. A bearish engulfing pattern emerged at 0.3412–0.3393 (20:45–21:00 ET), confirming a shift in sentiment. A bear trap may be forming around 0.3500–0.3499, where bulls previously retook control.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20SMA is bearishly crossed below the 50SMA, indicating short-term weakness. On the daily timeframe, the 50DMA is near 0.3475, while the 200DMA sits at 0.3420, suggesting further downward momentum could be likely if 0.3350 breaks.

MACD & RSI

MACD has turned negative with bearish divergence forming as price lows fall below prior lows while the histogram remains negative. RSI is in oversold territory at ~30, hinting at potential short-term bounce or consolidation, but without a clear reversal pattern, bearish bias remains intact.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility has expanded, with the upper band near 0.3500 and the lower band near 0.3330. Price currently sits near the lower band, indicating heightened bearish momentum and potential for a mean reversion toward the 0.3375–0.3400 range.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked to 589,231 at 18:45 ET as price fell below 0.3472, followed by confirmation at 19:15 ET with a close of 0.3437. Notional turnover increased significantly during this period, confirming bearish conviction.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the 0.3523–0.3345 move, key levels lie at 0.3450 (61.8%) and 0.3475 (38.2%), both of which appear to be critical for near-term direction. A break below 0.3345 could extend the pullback toward 0.3320–0.3300.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest results for a hypothetical strategy (Jan 2022–Nov 2025) reveal modest performance: a 3.75% total return with an annualized return of 2.60% and a maximum drawdown of 18.14%. The low Sharpe ratio of 0.17 suggests the strategy is risk-heavy for the returns generated. The 5%/2% take-profit and stop-loss combination captures small gains but is insufficient to offset bearish volatility.

Key optimization considerations include tightening stop-loss levels or widening take-profit thresholds to better manage risk-reward. Incorporating a time-based exit (e.g., holding max 5 days) could prevent prolonged exposure during range-bound phases. Adding a trend filter, such as a 200-day MA slope, may help avoid buying during down-trends.

Forward-looking, JUPUSDT faces a critical test at 0.3350. A break below this level could trigger a retest of 0.3300. Investors should monitor RSI for potential oversold bounce or a breakdown confirmation. Volatility is expected to remain elevated as the market digests the downward move.
