Structure & Formations

The 24-hour candlestick chart shows a bearish bias with a clear consolidation pattern forming after the initial sharp rally to 0.2088. A notable bearish engulfing pattern emerged around 0.2088 to 0.2033, followed by a series of smaller bearish bars suggesting lingering selling pressure. A key support level appears to be forming at 0.1960–0.1963, where the price consolidated during the evening. Resistance is currently at 0.2040 and 0.2057, which were tested and rejected several times.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are in a bearish crossover (death cross), confirming the short-term bearish sentiment. Over the daily timeframe, the 50-period MA sits at 0.1996 and the 100-period MA at 0.2015, indicating a slightly bullish bias in the longer term. The 200-period MA is at 0.1983, suggesting a potential support zone in the near term if the price retests the lower end of the consolidation range.

MACD & RSI

The MACD is in negative territory with a bearish divergence forming as the RSI remains below 50, confirming the bearish momentum. The RSI has not entered oversold territory, which suggests that the current correction may not yet be complete. However, the absence of extreme oversold conditions also implies a limited bounce-back potential unless buyers step in decisively above 0.2040.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy suggests entering a long position on a bullish breakout above the 0.2040 resistance with a stop-loss below 0.1960. The strategy assumes that a strong move above this level would confirm a reversal of the bearish trend, using the 20-period EMA as a trailing stop. While the RSI and MACD support the use of momentum indicators, the volume profile and consolidation suggest the need for caution. This strategy aligns with the observed bearish engulfing pattern and the potential for a short-term bounce within the defined range.
