TIA at the cliff edge: Sell the 0.59–0.60 bounce into a 0.55 retest

Executive summary and 24h path

Bias: Mildly bearish within a broader downtrend; expect range 0.548–0.596 with a downside test favored.
Plan: Fade bounces into 0.590–0.596 supply; target a retest of 0.552–0.556. Invalidation on strong reclaim >0.603–0.606 with volume.

Multi-timeframe trend and structure

Primary trend (since Sep): Downtrend from ~1.86 to ~0.57 (lower highs/lower lows). Market remains below all significant daily MAs and beneath the daily Ichimoku cloud, confirming bearish regime.
Intermediate structure (late Nov → today): Sequence of lower highs: 0.697 (11/30), 0.651 (12/03), 0.636 (12/09), ~0.603 (12/12 intraday). Lows: 0.548 (12/07), 0.557 (12/12). The most recent low is a marginal higher low, but overhead supply capped the bounce quickly; bearish market structure intact unless 0.605–0.622 is reclaimed.
Intraday (12/12): Morning grind to ~0.602 failed; sharp selloff at 15:00–16:00 UTC to 0.5566 on heavy volume; subsequent weak bounce to ~0.571 into the close. Sellers remain in control intraday; recovery lacked participation.

Moving averages

Daily SMA20 ≈ 0.61–0.62; price at 0.57 is below the mean → negative momentum regime.
Daily SMA50 is well above (≈0.80–0.90, skewed by October prices) → entrenched longer-term downtrend.
EMAs (9/21/55) inferred: price < EMA9 < EMA21 < EMA55; bearish alignment. Any tag of EMA9/EMA21 (~0.59–0.60) has been sold recently; expect these to act as dynamic resistance.

Momentum oscillators

RSI(14) daily estimated ~40–44: bearish but not oversold; room to extend down. Intraday RSI bounced from oversold into mid-40s on the rebound—typical of bear market bounces.
MACD daily: below zero and likely crossing down after a shallow bounce earlier this week; histogram turning more negative → momentum rolling over.
Stochastics: rising from low-20s, but in downtrends early stochastic upticks often fail beneath resistance bands; risk of rollover near 50.
Bullish divergence watch: Today’s low 0.5566 is above the 12/07 low 0.548 while intraday momentum likely printed a higher low; modest positive divergence can fuel a bounce to resistance, but trend context suggests fading that bounce.

Volatility and ranges

ATR(14) daily ≈ 0.045. Today’s true range ~0.0463 matches ATR.
Expect 24h realized range roughly 0.04–0.06 around the mean; projected envelope from ~0.552 to ~0.596 fits the volatility profile.

Bollinger Bands (20,2)

Mid-band ~SMA20 ≈ 0.612; lower band near ~0.57. Price tagged/pierced the lower band intraday and mean-reverted slightly; now sitting near/just above the lower band. In downtrends, repeated lower-band walks are common; first bounce often stalls beneath mid-band (<0.612). A move toward 0.59–0.60 is probable; sustained band walk implies renewed tests of 0.556/0.548.

Ichimoku (daily, standard)

Price below cloud; Kumo ahead is thick and descending—strong headwind.
Tenkan (9-period midpoint) ≈ 0.593–0.597; Kijun (26-period midpoint) ≈ 0.620–0.623. Today’s high failed near Tenkan and pivot R1 cluster (see below). Expect Tenkan to cap unless impulsive demand reappears.

Volume, OBV, VWAP

Volume profile: Downside legs (Nov 28–Dec 1, Dec 3 reversal, Dec 12 dump) show heavier participation than upswings—distribution characteristics.
OBV (qualitative) trending down; no accumulation signature.
Session VWAP (12/12) ~0.58–0.585; price closed below VWAP—sellers controlled the session. Anchored VWAP from the 11/30 swing-high likely sits near 0.59–0.60; repeated rejections here reinforce it as supply.

Support/resistance mapping

Immediate resistance: 0.590–0.596 (confluence of Tenkan, intraday supply, pivot R1 0.596).
Major resistance: 0.603–0.606 (12/12 high zone + 38.2% retrace of the 11/30→12/07 downswing), then 0.621–0.623 (Kijun / R2 / prior breakdown), 0.636–0.640 (failure zone from 12/9–10), 0.650.
Immediate support: 0.563–0.566 (round-trip area and prior settlement), 0.556–0.557 (today’s low). Deeper: 0.552 (TP target zone), 0.548 (12/07 swing low), then 0.530–0.532 (pivot S2 projection), finally 0.500 psychologically.

Fibonacci and classical pivots (using 12/12 H/L/C: H=0.6029, L=0.5566, C=0.5700)

Pivot P ≈ 0.5765; R1 ≈ 0.5964; S1 ≈ 0.5501; R2 ≈ 0.6228; S2 ≈ 0.5302.
11/30 (0.697) → 12/07 (0.548) retracement levels: 38.2% ≈ 0.605; 50% ≈ 0.623; 61.8% ≈ 0.640. Price failed at 0.636–0.646 earlier this week; today it failed below 0.605. This points to a market unable to even reach shallow retracement before supply hits—bearish asymmetry.

Pattern diagnostics

Descending channel since late Nov; upper bound currently around ~0.602–0.606; lower bound projects to ~0.548–0.552 over the next session. Today’s bounce from near the lower boundary lacked momentum—typical bear-channel behavior.
Potential double-bottom attempt at 0.548–0.556: Not confirmed; would require a decisive reclaim above 0.605 then 0.623; absent that, the setup risks morphing into a continuation breakdown.

Statistical skew and scenario analysis (next 24h)

Base case (60%): Fade bounces into 0.590–0.596; roll toward 0.556 with a spike to 0.552; intraday wicks possible to 0.548. Settlement likely 0.555–0.570.
Bull case (25%): Quick reclaim above 0.596; push into 0.603–0.606. If accepted above 0.606 with expanding volume, extension to 0.621–0.623 (R2/Kijun) and possibly a probe to 0.636; probability lower without catalyst.
Bear extension (15%): Immediate failure of 0.563; trend day down to 0.548; illiquid weekend airpockets could print 0.540–0.532 (S2) before reflex bounce.

Liquidity and timing considerations

It’s Friday into weekend; crypto weekend order books are thinner—expect whipsaw and stop-runs around obvious levels (0.560 stops, 0.550 psychological). That favors contrarian entries at well-defined supply/supported by confluence and exiting into strength/weakness.

Trade plan and risk management

Thesis: Short the supply retest between 0.590–0.596 where multiple signals converge (EMA9/21, Tenkan, pivot R1, anchored VWAP band). Target the lower channel/near S1.
Entry: 0.590 (limit), allowing slight slippage to 0.592–0.596 if momentum stalls.
Take profit: 0.552 baseline; partials at 0.556 acceptable if volatility compresses.
Invalidation/stop (not part of output fields, but critical): 0.605–0.606 (above R1 and 38.2% retrace). If reclaimed with volume, the short edge erodes.
Risk/reward: Entry 0.590, stop 0.606 (−0.016), target 0.552 (+0.038) → R:R ≈ 2.4:1.

Contingency/alternative

If price fails to bounce to 0.590 and instead breaks 0.563 quickly, avoid chasing at lows; wait for a weak bounce to 0.575–0.582 to re-engage short or for a flush into 0.548–0.552 to consider tactical, short-dated countertrend long back to 0.565–0.575 (only if capitulatory wick with positive divergence appears).
Bullish invalidation: Strong 30–60m close above 0.606 with rising OBV/volume opens path to 0.621–0.623; beyond our short horizon, that would flip bias neutral-to-bullish toward 0.636.

Why not buy here?

While near lower Bollinger and S1 cluster can deliver a bounce, the quality of demand is weak (VWAP/OBV, failed retests), and repeated supply has emerged at shallower retracements. Probability-weighted outcome favors selling rips rather than buying dips until 0.606/0.623 is reclaimed.

24-hour forecast and levels to watch

Range projection: 0.548–0.596. Most likely path: bounce to 0.590–0.596 → roll down to 0.556–0.552; close in 0.555–0.570.
Key inflections: 0.590/0.596 (sell zone), 0.606 (invalidation), 0.563 (bear trigger), 0.552/0.548 (targets/support).

Bottom line

Stick with the trend: Sell strength into 0.590–0.596; target 0.552. Maintain discipline around 0.606 invalidation given pivot/fib confluence.
