The price action shows a bearish breakdown from a short-term consolidation pattern that had formed between 0.0362 and 0.0375. A notable bearish reversal candle appeared at 18:45 ET (2025-10-29), where price gapped down from 0.037073 to 0.03616, closing at the low. This candle marked the start of a broad downward spiral, with volume spiking to 12.5M tokens during that 15-minute window. A potential double-bottom may be forming at 0.0342–0.0343, but it has yet to show confirmation.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart indicate that price is currently below the 20- and 50-period SMAs, suggesting bearish momentum. The 50-period MA is at 0.0365, and the 20-period MA is at 0.0368, both acting as overhead resistance. On the daily chart, price is also below the 50- and 200-period SMAs, aligning with a broader downtrend. The 50-period daily SMA is at 0.0376, and the 200-period is at 0.0382, suggesting further downside potential in the near term.

The RSI has dropped into oversold territory (below 30) for much of the 24-hour window, signaling potential short-term support and a possible bounce. However, the divergence between price and volume in the last 4 hours of the session (12:00–16:00 ET)—where price continued to decline but volume waned—raises concerns about waning bearish conviction. Bollinger Bands have expanded significantly, indicating increased volatility. Price is currently trading near the lower band, which supports the idea of a short-term bounce. Fibonacci retracement levels from the key swing high (0.0378) to the recent low (0.0342) suggest a possible bounce target near 0.0356 (61.8%) and a critical support at 0.0343 (38.2%).

Given the breakdown, short-term traders may look to the 0.0342–0.0343 area for support and the 0.0356–0.0360 range for potential resistance in the next 24 hours. However, caution is warranted as the 200-period SMA is a major psychological and structural hurdle for any bullish attempt. A sustained close above 0.0365 may rekindle bullish sentiment, but this appears unlikely without a significant increase in buying volume.

Backtest Hypothesis

To assess the viability of trend-following strategies in SPKUSDT, we would typically rely on MACD Golden Cross events—points where the MACD line crosses above the signal line—as potential entry signals. Unfortunately, the data provider does not recognize the SPKUSDT ticker, and we cannot retrieve the necessary MACD series to calculate these events.

Moving forward, a few options are available:1. If you can provide SPKUSDT MACD data or Golden Cross dates manually, we can immediately backtest the strategy using those.2. If the token trades under a different ticker on another exchange, please provide the correct ticker so we can source the data.3. If you have the SPKUSDT OHLCV dataset in CSV or JSON format, we can calculate the MACD in-house and derive the Golden Cross events ourselves.

Once we have the data, we can run a backtest to evaluate the performance of a basic Golden Cross strategy (e.g., entering long on Golden Cross, exiting on a 5% stop loss or 10% take profit) across this 24-hour period or a longer historical window. This will help determine the robustness of the setup and guide future entries.
