Key Price Levels and Candlestick Patterns

Support levels appear to form around $0.0953 and $0.0965, both of which saw significant consolidation. A bearish engulfing pattern formed during the early morning hours, suggesting a potential reversal from a rally. Resistance levels are currently at $0.0970 and $0.0975, where the price paused multiple times. A 20-period and 50-period moving average on the 15-minute chart shows a bearish bias as the shorter MA crossed below the longer one. The daily chart 50/100/200 MA shows a more neutral bias, with the 50 MA still above the 200 MA.

MACD and RSI Analysis

The MACD line crossed below the signal line in the late hours of 2025-09-22, suggesting a bearish momentum shift. The RSI hit overbought levels during the early morning rally but has since fallen to the mid-50s, indicating a weakening of upward momentum. A bearish divergence in RSI at $0.0970 suggests that while price continues to make higher highs, momentum is failing, pointing to a potential pullback.

Volatility and Fibonacci Retracement Levels

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the mid-session low, indicating high volatility, and have since narrowed, signaling a potential consolidation phase. The price currently sits near the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent $0.0953 to $0.0984 move, at approximately $0.0970. This level could act as a key psychological barrier. If broken, the next support would be the 50% level at $0.0969, followed by the 38.2% level at $0.0967.

Backtest Hypothesis

The described backtesting strategy aims to exploit short-term momentum shifts by entering long positions when RSI dips below 30 and re-enters above it, and short positions when RSI rises above 70 and re-enters below it, using a 15-minute chart. Given today’s RSI behavior—particularly the bearish divergence—short entries could have been triggered on the morning rally. However, the strategy may struggle with false signals during volatile periods like this one, as seen during the $0.0953 to $0.0984 swing. Filtering trades with Bollinger Band contraction and Fibonacci retracement levels could improve accuracy.
