MACD & RSI

MACD lines show bearish divergence with price, particularly after 09:00 ET, where bearish momentum diverged despite a bullish candle. RSI dropped below 30 for several hours in the evening, indicating oversold conditions, but failed to trigger a meaningful bounce. This suggests weak buyer interest.

Momentum Summary

- MACD bearish divergence after 09:00 ET- RSI in oversold territory (<30) but no strong rebound- Weak buyer participation suggests continued bearish pressure

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed a period of volatility contraction between 09:00–10:00 ET, followed by a sharp expansion after 10:30 ET, as price broke down through the lower band. This contraction and expansion pattern is often a precursor to a breakout or breakdown. The price has since been testing the lower band, reinforcing bearish pressure.

Volatility Summary

- Volatility contraction between 09:00–10:00 ET- Sharp expansion after 10:30 ET- Price testing lower Bollinger Band since 11:00 ET

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked sharply in the late afternoon and into the evening, particularly between 08:00–10:00 ET, where a 700,000+ volume candle appeared. Notional turnover also rose significantly during this time, aligning with the price breakdown. However, no clear divergence was observed between volume and price action—both confirmed the bearish move.

Volume Summary

- Highest volume candle at 08:00–08:15 ET (700,000+)- Notional turnover rose sharply after 08:00 ET- Volume and price aligned in bearish confirmation

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci retracement levels from the key swing high at 0.0512 and swing low at 0.0482 suggest a potential target for the next bearish move at 0.0479–0.0481 (61.8% level). The current price at 0.0492 sits at the 38.2% retracement level, which may serve as a temporary support zone. A breakdown below 0.0491 could confirm the 50% level at 0.0497 as a new area of significance.

Fibonacci Summary

- 38.2% retracement at 0.0492 (current price)- 61.8% retracement at 0.0481 (potential target)- 50% retracement at 0.0497 may become relevant if price breaks below 0.0491

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy could involve entering short positions on confirmation of a bearish engulfing pattern, such as the one at 17:30–18:00 ET, with a stop above the high of the pattern and a target at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. This approach would align with observed bearish divergence in the MACD and RSI, as well as volume confirmation during the evening session. If RSI and MACD fail to show bearish divergence, but volume increases, it could serve as an early warning of an impending breakdown.
