Structure & Formations

The 24-hour candlestick pattern displayed a bearish reversal after a midday rally, with a large-volume bearish engulfing pattern forming between 04:15 and 04:30 ET. A notable bullish engulfing pattern appeared between 10:45 and 11:00 ET, followed by a false breakout above $0.4734. Key support levels emerged at $0.4697 and $0.4676, with resistance at $0.4728 and $0.4747. A doji formed at 09:45 ET, signaling indecision near the 24-hour pivot.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the price briefly closed above the 20-period MA ($0.4726) and 50-period MA ($0.4719) during a morning rally. However, the afternoon saw a breakdown below the 20-period MA, suggesting a bearish bias into the close. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA sits near $0.4710, with the 100- and 200-period MAs forming a wide band between $0.4700 and $0.4695, indicating a neutral to bearish alignment.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed below the signal line in the late afternoon, reinforcing bearish momentum after a brief overbought reading above 60 in the morning. RSI fluctuated between overbought and oversold thresholds, peaking at 75 during a false breakout and bottoming at 30 during a late-evening selloff. A bearish divergence formed after 10:45 ET as RSI failed to make a new high despite higher prices, suggesting waning bullish conviction.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly in the latter half of the day, reflecting rising volatility and uncertainty. Price closed near the middle band, indicating short-term consolidation. A contraction occurred during the early morning hours, suggesting a potential breakout attempt during the rally. Traders should monitor if the price holds above the lower band during the next 24 hours as a sign of bullish re-entry.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked to over 50,000 at 12:45 ET, confirming a sharp selloff from $0.4725 to $0.4708. The largest turnover occurred during the same candle, reinforcing the bearish move. In contrast, volume remained moderate during the morning rally, hinting at potential price-volume divergence. A follow-up move with rising volume would be needed to validate any reversal.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci levels to the recent swing from $0.4757 to $0.4676, key retracement levels include 38.2% at $0.4716 and 61.8% at $0.4738. The price briefly tested the 38.2% retracement before declining again, suggesting it could be a potential short-term support area. The 61.8% level could act as resistance if buyers regain control.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy involves entering a short position when the price breaks below the 20-period MA on the 15-minute chart, confirmed by a bearish divergence in RSI. A stop-loss is placed above the most recent swing high, while the target is the next Fibonacci retracement level at 38.2%. Given the current conditions, the strategy would have triggered an entry at 04:15 ET, with a target near $0.4716. This aligns well with observed price action and could be tested for consistency in similar volatility environments.
