Structure & Formations

Price action showed a bearish engulfing pattern forming near $0.006010 on the 15-minute chart, suggesting a potential short-term reversal. A bullish harami emerged near $0.005950–$0.005958 but failed to break above key resistance levels. The $0.005920 level acted as a strong support, with the price bouncing back several times but failing to establish a clear bullish bias. The absence of a strong reversal pattern suggests continuation of the bearish bias is more likely.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages both trended downward, with price closing below both on the final candle. The 50-period line sits at approximately $0.005967, while the 20-period line is near $0.005984. On the daily timeframe, the 50, 100, and 200-period moving averages are all trending lower, with price closing below all three. This indicates a stronger bearish bias in both short and medium-term timeframes.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed below the signal line during the last 6 hours, signaling weakening momentum in the bullish direction and confirming bearish continuation. The histogram shows a recent divergence with price, indicating potential oversold conditions. The RSI reached a low of 33.6, suggesting the asset is nearing oversold territory, though it has not yet triggered a reliable reversal signal. A rebound may be due, but without a strong breakout above key resistance, bearish pressure is expected to persist.

Bollinger Bands

Price has been trading within a narrow Bollinger Band channel for much of the session, with a slight widening in the last 3 hours. The most recent candle closed near the lower band, suggesting potential for a rebound. However, without a decisive break above the middle band, a continuation of the current range or further decline is more likely.

Volume & Turnover

Volume remained relatively consistent throughout most of the session, with a noticeable drop in the last 6 hours. The final 15-minute candle posted a volume of 1.2 million, significantly lower than earlier in the session when volumes averaged around 2.5–4 million per candle. Turnover followed a similar pattern, remaining inline with typical levels but showing no signs of sharp accumulation or distribution. The lack of volume in recent candles suggests reduced conviction in any directional move.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, the most recent swing low (at $0.005920) and swing high (at $0.006098) indicate key Fibonacci levels. The 38.2% retracement level is at $0.006010, where the bearish engulfing pattern occurred, while the 61.8% level sits at $0.005967. The price currently trades near the 50% retracement level of $0.005999. A break below $0.005967 could target the next major support at $0.005920.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy outlined uses a combination of MACD crossover, RSI below 30, and volume confirmation to identify potential oversold entries in RSRUSDT. Given today’s RSI dip into the 33–34 range and the bearish engulfing pattern at $0.006010, this strategy would have triggered a sell signal. However, the lack of volume and failure to break above $0.005967 suggest the strategy might struggle in range-bound conditions. A modified approach that includes a Fibonacci retracement filter (e.g., 61.8% as a target) could improve success rates by better aligning entry and exit points with structure.
