Structure & Formations

The price action reveals a bearish breakdown, with a sharp sell-off between 19:30 and 21:15 ET that pushed XVSUSDT down by nearly 40% from 6.41 to 2.75. This move appears to be fueled by a large-volume candle (21:15 ET) that saw a high of 6.11 and a low of 5.38, forming a long-bodied bearish candle. The session also featured several long lower shadows, particularly in the early morning hours, suggesting short-term buyers attempting to stabilize the price. A key support level appears to have been established around 5.05–5.10, with some bullish reversal signs visible after the 05:00 ET time frame.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA and 50-period MA are in a steep bearish crossover, reinforcing the downtrend. The daily chart shows a similar bearish bias with the 50- and 200-period MA lines both below the current price, suggesting that the broader trend remains bearish. The price may find support near the 50-period daily MA around 5.16–5.20, which could serve as a short-term floor if buyers step in.

MACD & RSI

The MACD turned negative during the 21:15 ET candle and has remained below the signal line, indicating bearish momentum. The RSI has spent much of the session in oversold territory (below 30), reaching as low as 23. However, the lack of a strong rebound from oversold levels suggests weak conviction in the bulls. The RSI has shown signs of divergence from price in the last few hours, with the price making new lows while the RSI bottoms, which may hint at a potential short-term bounce or consolidation.

Bollinger Bands

The Bollinger Bands widened dramatically during the sell-off, with the 20-period band spanning from 4.34 to 8.04 at the peak of volatility. As the price stabilizes, the bands have contracted, with the current midline at around 5.20. Price has remained near the lower band for most of the session, reinforcing the bearish bias. A move above the midline could signal a shift in sentiment, but a retest of the lower band may still be in play.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the 21:15 and 21:30 ET candles, coinciding with the sharp drop from 6.46 to 3.73. These candles had volumes of 76,635.1 and 142,737.69, respectively, representing a large portion of the 24-hour total. The volume and turnover remain above average in the consolidation phase, indicating continued interest from traders and possibly a potential breakout attempt. Divergence in the final hours—where price declined but turnover did not—suggests a potential exhaustion of bearish momentum or a setup for a short-covering rally.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the major move from 6.67 to 2.75, the 38.2% retracement level sits at around 4.69, and the 61.8% level is at 5.68. The current price of 5.22 is between these two key levels, with the 5.68 level acting as a potential resistance on a rebound. On a smaller swing from 5.1 to 5.33 (midday), the 61.8% retracement is at 5.23, aligning closely with the current price and suggesting a possible consolidation or reversal area.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy aims to leverage the oversold RSI divergence and consolidation patterns observed in the last 24 hours. A potential setup would be to enter long positions when the price crosses above the 50-period MA on a bullish close, with a stop-loss below the 5.05–5.10 support zone and a target near the 5.68 Fibonacci level. This approach would test whether short-covering and technical exhaustion can lead to a short-term reversal. Given the high volume and volatility, however, the strategy must include tight risk management to account for sudden reversals or false breakouts.
