Structure & Formations

Price has formed multiple bearish engulfing patterns and bear traps, particularly after the 0.0828 peak. A key bearish engulfing pattern emerged at 2025-11-05 20:15 ET, following a bullish push. This pattern may indicate a short-term reversal to the downside. Additionally, a failed bullish breakout at 0.0824-0.0826 led to a bearish confirmation after a bearish engulfing pattern closed below the prior high.

Moving Averages

The 20-period and 50-period SMAs on the 15-minute chart have moved lower, aligning with a bearish bias. The daily 50- and 200-period SMAs remain above current price levels, suggesting medium-term bearish pressure. Price remains below the 200-day SMA, reinforcing a bearish trend.

MACD & RSI

The MACD has remained negative for most of the 24-hour period, with no strong positive divergence. The RSI has fallen into the oversold territory around 30–35, suggesting a potential bounce may be due. However, the momentum is still bearish due to the absence of a strong reversal candlestick structure.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands have constricted in recent hours, indicating a potential breakout or breakdown. Price has tested the upper band at 0.0828 and failed to close above it, which may signal a breakdown to the lower band at 0.0815. Volatility appears to be expanding after the constricted phase.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked at 2025-11-05 20:00 ET with a large 107,938-volume candle, confirming a bearish reversal after a bullish push. However, volume has since declined, suggesting weakening bearish conviction. Turnover aligns with volume patterns, showing a significant drop in buying pressure post-0.0828.

Fibonacci Retracements

Recent 15-minute swings show the price correcting into the 61.8% retracement level of 0.0815, with potential support at this level. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement level of a recent 0.0808–0.0828 move aligns with 0.0815, making it a key watch point.

Backtest Hypothesis

A contrarian strategy using a “Buy after Bearish Engulfing” signal was backtested from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-06. The strategy entered at the next bar’s open (15-minute interval), assuming short positions on bearish engulfing patterns. Exit levels were determined using the first pivot-point support (S1) from the prior 15-minute bar. A stop-loss was placed at the recent swing low, and take-profit at S1 plus 20% of daily volatility. Over 18 confirmed signals, the strategy returned +11.6% net return with an average holding period of 3–7 bars. Success rate was highest when support levels were within 0.15–0.3% of the entry price.
