Structure & Formations

The 24-hour chart revealed a bearish reversal pattern with a large engulfing candle on the 0.1727–0.1698 range, signaling aggressive selling. A bearish breakout below 0.1705 followed, confirming a loss of short-term resilience. Later, a key support level at 0.165 broke with confirmation volume, suggesting further downward pressure could emerge. A doji formed around 0.1691–0.1693, indicating indecision, but the subsequent bearish gap invalidated any potential recovery.

Moving Averages

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart crossed below the price action, reinforcing bearish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50- and 200-day MAs show a bearish divergence, with price below the 200-day line, a sign of long-term bearish pressure. The 100-day MA at ~0.1735 is now acting as a dynamic resistance level, and a close below 0.165 could test the next support at ~0.1635.

MACD & RSI

The 15-minute MACD turned negative and crossed below the signal line, confirming bearish momentum. RSI dropped sharply into oversold territory (~30) during the 04:00–05:00 ET window, but bearish divergence persisted, as price continued to fall while RSI only partially recovered. This suggests that oversold readings may not be enough to trigger a bounce, and a further breakdown could push RSI below 20.

Bollinger Bands & Volatility

Bollinger Bands widened significantly during the 02:00–04:00 ET window, reflecting heightened volatility. Price fell to the lower band at 0.1585, indicating extreme bearish pressure. The bands have since remained wide, and the price continues to trade near the lower end, suggesting a high probability of continued selling pressure. A contraction in the bands would be a necessary condition for a short-term reversal.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked sharply during the 02:00–04:00 ET window, particularly at 04:00 ET, when 1.54 million contracts traded at the intraday low of 0.1585. This confirms strong bearish conviction. However, turnover did not increase proportionally, indicating potential exhaustion in the short term. Divergence between volume and price was minimal, with strong bearish confirmation at key support levels.

Fibonacci Retracements

Key Fibonacci retracement levels on the 15-minute chart include 0.1705 (38.2%), 0.1697 (50%), and 0.1689 (61.8%). Price broke below all these levels, confirming further bearish momentum. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement of the recent bearish move sits near 0.1635, which may offer a potential short-term floor.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the strong bearish bias and the inability to retrieve RSI data for EDUUSDT, a proxy-based strategy using a similar asset or alternative symbol would be necessary for backtesting. If a valid RSI indicator can be applied, a strategy using RSI < 30 as a buy signal and a fixed 3-day holding period could provide insights into potential mean reversion opportunities in a highly volatile asset like EDUUSDT. This approach could also help validate whether the current oversold condition is a reliable entry point or a continuation of the bearish trend. If no suitable proxy is available, we may consider using alternative metrics or timeframes to simulate the strategy.
