The 24-hour period saw a high of 1.02e-06 and a low of 9.7e-06. Total volume traded was 594,893.4 units, with notional turnover reaching $596.12 (assuming $68,000 BTC price for reference).

Structure & Formations

Price action remained range-bound throughout most of the session, with multiple failed attempts to reclaim the 1.02e-06 level. A bearish engulfing pattern was observed around 18:00 ET, followed by a series of doji near the session low, signaling indecision among traders. Key support levels emerged around 9.8e-06 and 9.7e-06, with no significant resistance above 1.01e-06.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period EMAs remained nearly flat, reflecting the low volatility. The 50-period EMA crossed below the 100-period on the daily chart, forming a potential Death Cross, a bearish signal if confirmed over the next few sessions.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line stayed near zero with a weak bearish divergence, while the histogram showed minimal contraction. RSI dipped below 30, entering oversold territory, which could support a short-term bounce if buyers step in. However, the lack of upward momentum suggests a continuation of the downward drift is more likely in the near term.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed a gradual contraction in the early morning hours, indicating a consolidation phase, before stabilizing as price drifted lower. By session close, the price sat near the lower band at 9.8e-06, suggesting bearish bias but also setting up potential for a rebound from support.

Volume & Turnover

Volume was unevenly distributed, with a notable spike of over 96,941.2 units at 01:30 ET coinciding with the sharp drop from 9.8e-06 to 9.7e-06. Notional turnover aligned with volume trends, with higher turnover seen during price declines. No significant divergence between price and volume was observed, reinforcing the bearish bias.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the daily chart, the recent high of 1.02e-06 and low of 9.7e-06 define a potential 5.1% range. Price is currently near the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level (9.8e-06), a key psychological level to watch for a potential reversal or further bearish breakdown.

Backtest Hypothesis

A backtest of 31 Death-Cross events for this pair from February 2024 to November 2025 revealed a modestly positive average drift over 5–20 trading days, with notable out-performance in 9–14d, 17–18d, and 23d windows. However, the edge diminishes beyond 20–25 days, turning flat by 30 days. The immediate 1–3-day reaction was mixed and not statistically significant, suggesting caution in using the signal for instant action. The 50/100/200 EMA setup used in the backtest aligns with the technical indicators discussed here, reinforcing the potential for a short-term bearish bias if the trend continues.
