Structure & Formations

Price action in SYRUPUSDT has been dominated by bearish momentum, with a distinct breakdown observed below 0.4150. A large bearish engulfing pattern formed around 19:15–19:30 ET (0.4148 to 0.4133), confirming the shift in sentiment. The price continued lower through the night, and a bearish trendline from 0.4170 to 0.4135 has been decisively broken. A potential support zone has now formed around 0.4090–0.4100, which could either hold or be broken in the next 24 hours.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA has dipped below the 50-period MA, reinforcing the bearish bias. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA is above the 100-period MA, indicating short-term weakness but a neutral to slightly bearish trend over the broader timeframe. The 200-period MA appears to be a distant resistance, suggesting a deeper correction could be in play if this level is not tested soon.

MACD & RSI

The MACD has turned negative, with the line and histogram both in bearish territory, indicating weakening bullish momentum and increasing bearish pressure. The RSI has entered oversold territory at around 30, suggesting the potential for a minor rebound. However, a failure to close above 0.4130 could lead to further declines toward 0.4080, with RSI potentially signaling a deeper overbought rebound only if a strong reversal occurs.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility has expanded significantly over the past 6 hours, with Bollinger Bands widening and price trading near the lower band. This suggests heightened uncertainty and potential for a sharp move either higher or lower. A reversal above the midline of the bands could signal a short-term bounce, but a sustained move below the lower band would likely indicate further bearish pressure.

Volume & Turnover

Volume has surged in the last 3 hours, confirming the breakdown below 0.4130. The total notional turnover increased in line with the sharp price decline, showing no signs of divergence. This volume confirmation strengthens the bearish case. If price stabilizes near 0.4098, volume is likely to decrease, which would support the idea of a temporary pause in the decline.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci levels from the swing high at 0.4177 to the swing low at 0.4098 show 0.4130 (38.2%) as a key level to watch for a possible bounce. A close above this level may indicate a retest of 0.4150 (61.8%), but a failure to hold 0.4130 could accelerate the move toward 0.4080. Daily retracements suggest that 0.4100 is a critical level to monitor for any signs of stabilization.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy proposes entering a short position on SYRUPUSDT when price closes below the 50-period MA on the 15-minute chart, accompanied by a bearish divergence in RSI. This would be paired with a stop-loss above the 20-period MA and a take-profit at 0.4080. The data from the past 24 hours supports this hypothesis, with the price already breaking below the 50-period MA and RSI entering oversold territory. A further move to 0.4080 could be seen as a potential target, provided volume remains supportive and no large bullish orders intervene.
