Structure & Formations

Price consolidated into a descending channel following the 17:15 ET candle, where a bearish engulfing pattern formed, indicating a probable continuation of the downward leg. A key support level appears to be forming around 0.02160–0.02170, where price has bounced on several occasions. A doji formed around 02:45 ET, signaling indecision and suggesting the market may struggle to break below 0.02140 without a sharp drop in liquidity. Resistance is clustered above 0.02206–0.02210, where price failed to sustain a rally multiple times.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average crossed below the 50-period line, confirming a bearish trend. For daily data, the 50-period MA sits above the 100- and 200-period lines, indicating a weak bearish bias. The price is currently below all three, reinforcing the short-term bearish momentum. A crossover back above 0.02210 could signal a potential short-covering bounce but would still need to break above the 50-EMA to gain conviction.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed below the signal line in the afternoon, confirming a bearish divergence. RSI has dipped into oversold territory on several occasions, notably around 02:15 and 04:15 ET, but failed to trigger a meaningful reversal. The combination of bearish momentum and lack of volume suggests that a sustained rally is unlikely unless new buyers enter the market above 0.02205.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded sharply during the 17:15–20:00 ET window as the lower band dipped below 0.02190, while the upper band hovered near 0.02220. Price has spent much of the day within the bands, with occasional excursions suggesting range trading. A sustained move outside the bands could signal a breakout or breakdown, but the current range-bound action suggests traders are waiting for a catalyst.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the 17:15–19:30 ET window, coinciding with the bearish breakdown. Notional turnover, however, failed to confirm a strong bearish conviction, as price action was largely within a descending channel. A divergence between volume and price suggests that the bearish wave may not be sustained without additional selling pressure.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci levels to the recent 15-minute swing (0.02223 to 0.02119), key retracement levels lie at 0.02164 (61.8%) and 0.02186 (38.2%). The 61.8% level has acted as a temporary floor for the past two hours, and a break below 0.02164 may accelerate the downward move toward 0.02140.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtest strategy could focus on the bearish engulfing pattern observed at 17:15 ET, paired with a break below the 15-minute 20-EMA. If price closed below the engulfing candle’s low and maintained that level for three consecutive 15-minute intervals, a short entry could be triggered with a stop-loss above the pattern’s high (0.02203). A target would be set at the 61.8% retracement level at 0.02164, with a trailing stop to lock in gains if a bounce occurs. The strategy would aim to exploit short-term bearish momentum while managing risk through tight stops and position sizing.
