Structure & Formations

The 15-minute candlestick chart reveals a clear bearish bias, with multiple long-bodied bearish candles and a few small-bodied bearish candles near the end of the session. The 0.3200 level acted as a resistance-turned-support-turned-resistance in a short window, and after breaking below 0.3100, the pair found temporary support near 0.2800 before resuming the downward move. The 0.2710 level appears as a potential near-term support, with the 0.2700 level becoming a critical watchpoint. No strong reversal patterns (e.g., bullish engulfing, morning star) have formed since the 0.2800 area, suggesting the bearish trend may extend further.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute timeframe, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are both well above the current price, reinforcing the bearish momentum. The price is well below both lines, with the 50SMA acting as dynamic resistance. On the daily chart, the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages are all well above current levels, with the 200-day SMA acting as a key long-term resistance. The pair is in a strong bearish divergence with all major moving averages.

MACD & RSI

The MACD has been in negative territory for the majority of the 24-hour session, with the signal line crossing below the histogram. This indicates continued bearish momentum. The RSI has been in oversold territory for much of the session, but this is a result of the prolonged downtrend and not a signal for a reversal. The RSI reading is currently near 28, and the histogram is still declining, suggesting that the bearish trend could continue unless there is a strong bounce above 30.

Bollinger Bands

The price has remained below the lower Bollinger Band for most of the session, confirming the low volatility and bearish pressure. The bands have been in a contraction phase for much of the session, but have started to widen slightly as the price has accelerated lower, indicating a potential increase in volatility. If the price can break above the lower band again, it may signal further weakness, but a strong rebound above the middle band would be a positive sign for near-term reversal.

Volume & Turnover

Volume has been consistently above average during the bearish leg, particularly during the session between 0.3100 and 0.2800. The increase in volume confirms the bearish bias, with no signs of divergence between price and volume. Turnover also increased during the downward move, showing that larger players are participating in the bearish action.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, the most recent swing from 0.3100 to 0.2711 has seen a 61.8% retracement near 0.2910, but failed to hold. On the daily chart, the larger swing from 0.3286 to 0.2707 has retraced to 0.2993 (38.2%) and 0.2900 (61.8%), both of which failed to provide strong support. The next key Fibonacci level to watch is the 0.2700 (100%) level, where a potential consolidation could occur.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy for XPLUSDT could focus on RSI as a momentum filter and reversal signal. Given the recent extended period in oversold territory, the RSI-14 appears to be a useful tool for identifying potential turning points. A possible strategy would be to look for RSI-14 below 30 as an entry signal, with an exit when RSI-14 rises back above 30 on a daily close. This approach would align with the bearish trend and test whether the market can find a bottom or experience a countertrend bounce. The performance of this strategy would depend on the strength of the bearish trend and the persistence of volume during any attempted reversal.
