Structure & Formations

The 24-hour candlestick pattern shows a bearish trend with a large bearish body from midday to night, particularly between 17:30–20:00 ET. Notable bearish engulfing patterns occurred around 19:45 and 21:15 ET, confirming a continuation of the downtrend. A doji formed at 23:45 ET near $0.00000956, signaling potential exhaustion of the bearish momentum.

Key support levels appear at $0.00000915 (38.2% Fibonacci level), $0.00000918 (61.8% level), and $0.00000908 (intraday low). Resistance clusters are forming at $0.00000928 (50% retracement), $0.00000931, and $0.00000938 (session high).

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, price closed below both 20 and 50 EMA, indicating bearish bias. On the daily chart, the 50 EMA has crossed below the 200 EMA, forming a bearish death cross. This alignment of short- and long-term MA crossovers reinforces the probability of continued downward pressure.

Bollinger Bands widened during the early to midday session, indicating increasing volatility, with price settling near the lower band at session close. This suggests potential oversold conditions and the possibility of a short-term rebound.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram turned negative and the signal line crossed below the zero line around 17:30 ET, reinforcing bearish momentum. RSI dropped below 40 by 21:00 ET, entering oversold territory. However, RSI did not reverse above 40 despite a slight bounce in the last hour, which could suggest a weak recovery or continued bearish sentiment.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked sharply from 17:30–20:00 ET, with the largest 15-minute volume of $194.3 billion at 17:30 ET. This high-volume move coincided with a sharp decline in price. The final 3 hours of the session saw a moderate drop in volume but a slight increase in turnover, indicating renewed interest in buying around $0.00000915–$0.00000918.

Price and volume diverged slightly in the last 2 hours, with declining volume despite a price rally. This could signal a weakening in bullish conviction.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the recent 15-minute swing from $0.00000965 to $0.00000908, the 38.2% retracement level sits at $0.00000931 and the 61.8% at $0.00000915. The daily move from the 10–9 transition shows similar levels, reinforcing that $0.00000915 is a critical near-term support. Traders should watch for a potential bounce or breakdown at these levels.

Looking ahead, a move below $0.00000915 could open the door to a test of the $0.00000908 level and beyond. Conversely, a recovery above $0.00000928 may signal a short-term consolidation or reversal.

Backtest Hypothesis

The described backtesting strategy emphasizes using a combination of RSI (14) and MACD (12,26,9) to identify oversold conditions in a downtrend, with a stop-loss placed just below the most recent swing low. Given today’s data, RSI and MACD both confirmed bearish momentum and oversold conditions, making the strategy applicable for short-term bearish trading. A long trigger based on RSI divergence at $0.00000915 would need confirmation from higher volume and a break above the 50 EMA to be valid.
