The SAPIENUSDC pair opened at 0.2073 on 2025-11-12 at 12:00 ET and closed at 0.1949 on 2025-11-13 at 12:00 ET, with a high of 0.2095 and a low of 0.1876. The 24-hour volume reached 557,521.8 and total turnover amounted to 110,728.3 (USDC equivalent). The price has shown a clear bearish bias, marked by a prolonged selloff after midday.

Structurally, the pair formed a bearish continuation pattern, with notable engulfing candlesticks and hanging man formations signaling exhaustion in bullish momentum. Key support levels identified include 0.1950 and 0.1910, while resistance stands at 0.2015 and 0.2050. A doji at 0.2012 suggests a potential short-term reversal, but without strong volume confirmation, it remains tentative.

Over the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages were both trending downward, with the price staying well below both. This reinforces the bearish sentiment. The MACD histogram was negative and widening, pointing to strengthening bearish momentum. The RSI remained in neutral to bearish territory (35–60 range), lacking overbought or oversold signals but still indicating downward bias.

Volatility expanded significantly, with Bollinger Bands widening to 0.02 in the last 6 hours. The price has spent most of the day near the lower band, indicating a high degree of bearish pressure. Notably, volume spiked around the 0.1980–0.1960 range, suggesting strong selling at these levels. A negative divergence appears between price and RSI in the last 4 hours, indicating potential for a bounce or consolidation, though bearish sentiment remains dominant.

The 0.1949 close represents a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the 0.1876–0.2095 move, suggesting a possible short-term floor if the trend continues. For the next 24 hours, the market could consolidate near 0.1950 or attempt a test of 0.1910, but a break below this would increase risk of a test of the 0.1896 intraday low. Investors should monitor for a reversal signal near 0.1930 and avoid overleveraging long positions in the near term.

Backtest Hypothesis: The most appropriate approach for a quantitative backtest would be to use the first close exceeding the prior 20-day high as the sell signal. Given the recent volatility and the presence of distinct swing highs (e.g., 0.2095), this approach aligns well with the observed structure. For example, a position taken near 0.2073 (open) would be sold once the close reaches 0.2095. Using this rule, we can calculate entry and exit points across the 24-hour dataset with high fidelity to the actual price dynamics. A 20-day lookback window is recommended, with additional filtering for volume spikes to ensure signal relevance.
