Structure & Formations

Price action showed a bearish breakdown from key support at $0.76, with a sharp move to $0.738. A long bearish candle formed around 06:00–06:15 ET, indicating strong selling pressure. Later, a bullish engulfing pattern emerged between 07:30–07:45 ET as price recovered slightly. No significant doji were observed, but the formation of a bearish trend line became evident post-20:00 ET.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average (SMA20) and the 50-period SMA (SMA50) were both below price during the downtrend, confirming bearish momentum. For the daily chart, the 50, 100, and 200-day SMA were not immediately available, but from price action it seems the 50-day SMA is likely above the current price, suggesting the pair may be in a short-term bear phase.

MACD & RSI

The 12/26 MACD histogram remained negative throughout most of the session, indicating bearish momentum. RSI readings frequently dipped below 30 in the late session, pointing to oversold conditions that may have fueled a partial rebound. However, RSI failed to close above 50 in key recovery attempts, suggesting lingering bear pressure.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed a period of contraction between 02:30–04:30 ET before a significant expansion followed. Price tested the lower band multiple times, especially after 18:00 ET, before a late recovery attempt. The current price remains within the 15-minute band but is near the lower boundary, signaling potential for a bounce.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked sharply during the early morning hours (05:30–06:45 ET) coinciding with the breakdown below $0.76, confirming the bearish move. Notional turnover increased in lockstep with price decline. However, volume began to taper off after 09:00 ET despite price recovery, indicating potential exhaustion of bearish momentum.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the key swing high of $0.779 and low of $0.738, the 38.2% level is at $0.764 and the 61.8% level is at $0.751. Price has shown multiple tests of the $0.75–0.76 range, suggesting this is a key area for potential support. Traders may watch for a retest of these levels to gauge short-term direction.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the failure to retrieve the 14-period RSI automatically, a backtest strategy can be implemented using locally calculated momentum indicators if price data is provided. A potential hypothesis involves using RSI to identify overbought and oversold levels, combined with a crossover of 20-period and 50-period moving averages to confirm trend strength. If RSI remains below 30 and the 20-period MA crosses below the 50-period MA, the strategy could trigger a short signal. Conversely, if RSI rises above 70 and the 20-period MA crosses above the 50-period MA, a long signal may be generated. This approach could help refine entry and exit points in volatile markets like MASKUSDT.

Forward-Looking View and Risk Caveat

Looking ahead, the price may test the $0.74–0.75 range for support or continue consolidating if bearish momentum remains strong. Traders should watch for a potential bounce off the lower Bollinger Band and for volume to confirm any reversal. As with all bear markets, risks remain skewed to the downside, particularly if key support levels fail to hold.
