Total volume amounted to 51,156,050.0, while notional turnover was $22,267,735.00. A distinct bearish trend emerged from mid-session, culminating in a sharp decline after 2025-10-04 15:00 ET, marked by a large bearish candlestick and a breakdown below key support levels.

Structure & Formations

Price action revealed a bearish continuation pattern with a strong breakdown below a prior support level around $0.4200. A large bearish candle on October 4 at 15:00 ET confirmed the breakdown, with the low at $0.4084. A bearish engulfing pattern was visible in the early phase of the decline, reinforcing the downward bias. A doji formed near $0.4109, suggesting indecision and possible short-term bounce potential.

Moving Averages

The 20 and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart remained bearish, with price consistently below both. On the daily chart, the 50, 100, and 200-period moving averages are also bearish, with price trading below all. The MA crossover suggests continuation of the downward trend unless a strong reversal occurs.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed below the signal line during the decline, confirming bearish momentum. The RSI dropped below 30 into oversold territory, but it has yet to show a strong reversal sign. This suggests a possible bounce but not a definitive reversal. Momentum remains bearish but could stabilize near oversold levels.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the sharp drop, indicating increased volatility. Price closed near the lower band, suggesting potential for a short-term bounce or consolidation within the band. However, the widening of the bands indicates ongoing uncertainty and possible further downside.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged during the breakdown at 15:00 ET, with over 307,179.5 units traded in that 15-minute window. Turnover spiked concurrently to over $129,000, aligning with the price drop. The divergence between volume and price at earlier stages of the decline suggests weak conviction initially, but the late-session surge confirms the bearish move.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci retracement levels drawn from the recent swing high at $0.4344 to the low at $0.4084 suggest key support levels at $0.415 (23.6%) and $0.4111 (38.2%). These levels may offer temporary support for a potential rebound. A breakdown below $0.4111 would likely extend the move toward $0.404 (50%).

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy described aims to exploit short-term volatility and trend continuation using a combination of RSI, MA crossover, and Bollinger Band breakout signals. A potential buy signal could be triggered if price bounces above $0.415 on a close with a bullish candle and positive volume confirmation. A sell or short signal may be initiated on a breakdown below $0.4111 with bearish divergence in RSI. This strategy would be backtested over multiple cycles to assess consistency and risk-adjusted returns.
