Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart shows a bearish consolidation pattern developing from around $0.0294 to $0.02925. The price tested key resistance at $0.0294 multiple times, with a failed breakout attempt around 20:00 ET, followed by a breakdown below the prior support. A notable engulfing bearish candle formed during the 19:00–19:15 ET window, suggesting a shift in momentum. Additionally, a doji pattern at $0.02928 late in the session hinted at indecision and possible reversal, although the overall bearish trend continued into the early morning.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average crossed below the 50-period line during the breakdown phase, reinforcing a bearish bias. Daily moving averages indicate that SOPHUSDT is still trading below the 50-day and 200-day lines, suggesting a continuation of the bearish trend at the longer-term horizon.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line remained negative throughout most of the session, with a bearish crossover in the morning and a bearish divergence observed in the late session. RSI declined from above 50 in the early hours to close below 45, indicating weakening buying pressure. Although RSI dipped below 30 briefly during the breakdown, it only briefly touched that level, failing to confirm a strong oversold condition. This suggests a moderate but sustained bearish momentum rather than an overextended move.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the late trading hours, particularly after 20:00 ET, indicating increased volatility. The price closed near the lower band, suggesting possible exhaustion in the downward move. A reversal from this point would require strong volume and a retest of the $0.02925 level, where a bullish bounce might occur if buying pressure resumes.

Volume & Turnover

Volume increased sharply in the late evening and into the early morning, with the largest 15-minute candle (at 21:30 ET) showing a high of $0.02952 and a large volume of ~918,634 SOPH. This candle marked a breakdown below the $0.0293 level. Notional turnover also spiked during this hour, confirming the breakdown in price. The divergence between volume and price during the late night hours suggests that bearish traders were able to push the price lower with strong liquidity.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the recent 15-minute swing from $0.02925 to $0.02962, the 61.8% level corresponds to $0.02943. SOPHUSDT spent much of the session consolidating near this level before breaking down below it. A retest of this level may offer a potential short-term support area, with a possible bounce expected if buying resumes.

Backtest Hypothesis

The described backtesting strategy aims to capture short-term trend continuation using a combination of 15-minute MA crossovers and RSI divergence. A potential rule could be: enter a short position when the 20-period MA crosses below the 50-period MA on the 15-minute chart, and RSI shows a bearish divergence with a close below the 20-period MA. Exit the trade when the price closes above the 20-period MA or when RSI returns above 50, whichever comes first. This approach aligns with the recent bearish breakdown and could have been triggered during the 20:00–21:00 ET time frame, capturing much of the downward move.
