POPCAT at a Decision Point: Failed Bounce Signals Another Leg Down (24H Short Bias)

Primary trend (Nov → Feb): bearish. Price peaked in early Dec/early Jan (~0.11–0.114) and has since printed a sequence of lower highs and lower lows.
The February range shows distribution and continued weakness:
- 2/14 spike to 0.06095 close (high ~0.06399) was followed immediately by a sharp mean-reversion and resumed downtrend.
- Latest daily candle (2/26): O 0.05143 / H 0.05170 / L 0.04737 / C 0.04836 = a large red candle after 2/25’s rebound close (0.05144). This signals the prior day’s bounce failed.

Implication: Daily structure favors sellers; rallies are being sold.

Using recent pivots and consolidation zones:

Immediate resistance zone: 0.0498–0.0507
- Multiple hourly closes/opens clustered around 0.0500–0.0507 (intraday balance area).
- Also psychologically important at 0.0500.
Higher resistance: 0.0514–0.0528
- 2/25 close ~0.05144 and earlier hourly opens ~0.0514.
- Break above here would negate the immediate bearish continuation thesis.
Immediate support: 0.0473–0.0474
- 2/26 intraday low printed ~0.04736–0.04737.
Next support (if 0.0473 breaks): ~0.0466 → ~0.0459
- 2/23 low zone (0.04595) and 2/24/2/23 closes around 0.0466–0.0469.

Implication: Price is currently sitting between resistance at ~0.050 and support at ~0.0473, but the day closed weak, so support is at risk.

From 2/25 close (0.05144) to current (0.04836) is roughly -6% in a day: momentum is decisively negative.
The 2/14 “pump” followed by fast retracement is typical of exhaustion spikes in a downtrend (buyers unable to hold gains).

Implication: Momentum regime still bearish; odds favor either (a) retest of 0.0473 or (b) weak bounce into resistance that is sold.

Daily: 2/25 looked like a recovery day (close near 0.0514 after low 0.0469). 2/26 immediately reversed with a wide-range down candle → common bull trap / failed reversal behavior.
Hourly: a long grind down from ~0.0514 toward ~0.0493, then a sharper dip to ~0.04736 and only a modest rebound to ~0.0483–0.0487. That is a weak bounce (no strong impulsive reclaim of 0.050).

Implication: Pattern favors selling rallies rather than buying dips.

Recent daily ranges are large relative to price (memecoin-like volatility). 2/26 range (H-L) ~0.00433 which is ~9% of price.
That level of volatility typically means:
- Entries should be placed at levels (zones) rather than at market.
- Take-profit should be realistic (1–2× typical intraday swing).

Implication: A short entry closer to resistance improves expectancy.

Notable heavier volume on key reversal days (e.g., 2/14, 2/15, 2/16). The subsequent decline indicates that surge was not accumulation, more likely liquidity event/distribution.
2/26 daily volume (~18.8M) is substantial, supporting that the breakdown attempt has participation.

Implication: Down moves are not happening on “thin air” only; selling pressure looks real.

Base case (higher probability):

Price attempts a mean-reversion bounce toward 0.0498–0.0507, meets supply, then drifts back down to retest 0.0473.

Bear case (continuation):

Failure to reclaim 0.0495 quickly → break below 0.0473, continuation toward 0.0466 and potentially 0.0459 (prior demand zone).

Bull case (lower probability, invalidation):

Strong reclaim and acceptance above 0.0514–0.0520 would suggest a squeeze back toward 0.0530–0.0541. Current structure does not favor this.

Given the downtrend + failed bounce, the higher expectancy is to Sell (short) into resistance.

Optimal entry is not at current mid-zone price; it’s better near the supply shelf.

Preferred short entry zone: 0.0502 (inside 0.0498–0.0507 resistance)

Rationale: aligns with the intraday balance area and the “round number” magnet at 0.0500; rallies into this zone have been sold.

Take-profit (close price): 0.0467

Rationale: sits just above the next support pocket (~0.0466) to improve fill probability before a bounce.

(If you require a single exact number: entry 0.05020, TP 0.04670.)
