The price pattern displayed bearish dominance after 19:00 ET, with a decisive drop from 0.0001782 to 0.0001668 over the next 3 hours. This bearish phase culminated in a large candle on 21:00 ET, with a high of 0.0001759 and a low of 0.0001756, forming a bearish engulfing pattern. A brief recovery attempt followed but failed to reclaim key resistance levels. Support at 0.0001695 was tested multiple times and appears critical in the near term.

20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart show a bearish crossover, reinforcing the downward bias. MACD remained in negative territory, with the histogram expanding, suggesting ongoing bearish momentum. RSI hit oversold territory near 30 during the session’s low point, hinting at potential consolidation or a short-term bounce. Bollinger Bands narrowed during the consolidation phase, but the subsequent expansion coincided with the sharp decline, indicating heightened volatility.

Volume spiked during the decline, especially around 21:00–22:00 ET, but declined during the 0.0001695 to 0.0001683 consolidation, suggesting weakening bearish conviction. Fibonacci retracement levels indicate that 0.0001705 (38.2%) and 0.0001728 (61.8%) may serve as near-term resistance targets in a potential rebound. The next 24 hours could see a test of 0.0001683 as a floor and a possible rally to 0.0001705–0.0001711 if buyers step in. Investors should remain cautious, as a break below 0.0001683 could open the door to further downside.

Backtest Hypothesis
The described strategy relies on identifying bearish engulfing patterns at key Fibonacci retracement levels and entering short positions with a stop above the pattern’s high. Based on this dataset, such a signal would have been triggered at 0.0001759 during the 21:00–21:15 ET window. A 5% stop-loss would have triggered a sell-off at 0.0001841. This trade would have captured a ~9.5% move into the target zone of 0.0001668–0.0001684. While this backtest shows potential, it must be tested over multiple cycles for robustness, as the pattern’s reliability may vary with market liquidity and volume dynamics.
