Market Summary and Key Indicators

At 12:00 ET on October 26, 2025, PancakeSwap/Tether (CAKEUSDT) opened at $2.785 and reached a high of $2.854 before closing at $2.723 at 12:00 ET on October 27. The 24-hour session saw a total traded volume of 695,000 CAKE and a notional turnover of ~$1.92 million. Price action has been bearish across the session, marked by a strong bearish reversal following a failed rally to 2.854.

Structure & Formations

Price has shown bearish momentum since the 2.854 high, with a key bearish engulfing pattern visible at 12:15 ET. A doji formed at 09:00 ET-10:00 ET, signaling indecision near 2.74-2.76. Support levels at 2.74, 2.71, and 2.69 have been repeatedly tested and held, while resistance at 2.76 and 2.78 has failed to hold during pullbacks. A breakdown below 2.69 would target the next psychological level at 2.65.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20 EMA crossed below the 50 EMA (death cross), reinforcing bearish sentiment. The 50 EMA is now at 2.765, while the 20 EMA is at 2.747. On the daily chart, the 50 EMA sits at 2.78, with the 200 EMA at 2.74, suggesting the 2.74 level is a critical inflection point for the near term.

MACD & RSI

The 12/26 MACD line is negative and descending, with bearish divergence visible between price and the histogram. The RSI has fallen to 30, indicating oversold territory, but divergence in volume and price action suggests bears may still have control. A rebound off 2.71 could see a temporary bounce, but a close above 2.75 would be required to suggest momentum is shifting.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly following the peak at 2.854, with Bollinger Bands widening to a 2.82–2.68 range. Price has spent most of the session near the lower band, reinforcing bearish pressure. A break below the lower band would signal a continuation of the downtrend, with potential for a test of 2.65–2.60 if momentum remains unchecked.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked to over 695,000 CAKE between 08:30–10:45 ET, particularly on the breakdown below 2.75. Notional turnover also increased, with a 3-hour period showing ~$1.9 million in turnover. Divergence is observed between volume and price during pullbacks to 2.74–2.76, suggesting weak buying interest. A strong follow-through bear move would require another volume surge on a close below 2.69.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, price tested the 61.8% retracement level at 2.74 after the 2.854–2.705 swing. A break below that now supports a move toward 2.69 (38.2%), then 2.65 (61.8%). Daily Fibonacci levels from the recent high at 2.854 point to 2.74 (38.2%) and 2.65 (61.8%) as critical levels. A close above 2.78 would invalidate the bearish scenario and target 2.82–2.85.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the bearish setup, a potential strategy could be to enter short at the 2.74–2.76 zone with a stop above 2.78 and a target at 2.65–2.60. The 15-minute MACD and RSI in oversold territory suggest a temporary bounce may occur, but a close below 2.69 would validate the continuation. A 1:2 risk-reward ratio is viable if the breakdown occurs before 12:00 ET on October 28. This hypothesis aligns with the current Fibonacci and Bollinger Band setup, where volatility and momentum indicators are aligned with the short side.
