The Chromia/Bitcoin (CHRBTC) pair opened at $0.00000061 on October 12 at 12:00 ET and closed at $0.00000064 at 12:00 ET on October 13. The 24-hour high and low were $0.00000065 and $0.00000061, respectively. Total traded volume amounted to approximately 910,000 units, with a notional turnover of roughly $0.555. The session was largely range-bound until late in the afternoon, when a sharp increase in volume and price signaled a potential breakout.

Looking at the structure of the candlesticks, the price formed a bullish flag pattern after an initial rally in the afternoon. Several candles showed indecision (doji-like patterns) during the early part of the session, but the trend shifted decisively in the final hours. The price tested a critical resistance level near $0.00000064 multiple times and eventually closed above it, suggesting a possible breakout in favor of the bulls.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart showed a bullish crossover late in the session, indicating momentum shifted in favor of upward movement. The 50-period moving average appears to be acting as a dynamic support, with price bouncing off it multiple times before the final push. On the daily chart, the 50- and 200-period moving averages are converging, hinting that the pair could be entering a period of consolidation or a potential reversal in the near term.

MACD showed a positive divergence in the last two hours, aligning with the price breakout. RSI entered overbought territory around 10:15 AM ET, coinciding with the volume spike, but failed to close below the 60 threshold by the end of the session, suggesting continued buying pressure. Bollinger Bands widened significantly after 10:00 AM ET, with the price moving to the upper band. This expansion indicates rising volatility and could signal the start of a trend. Price appears to have found a short-term ceiling near the upper band and may test it again in the coming hours.

The Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the recent 15-minute swing (from $0.00000061 to $0.00000065) show that the current price is near the 76.4% retracement level. This suggests a potential pullback or consolidation before the next move. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement level appears to coincide with the 50-period moving average, a key area to watch for further validation of trend strength or reversal signals.

Backtest Hypothesis: Given the recent breakout above the 50-period moving average and the confluence of bullish divergences in both MACD and RSI, a potential backtest using a 55-day breakout entry and trailing stop loss at the 20-day low could be tested. The CHRBTC pair’s late-day volume spike and adherence to Fibonacci retracement levels suggest strong structure, making it a viable candidate for a breakout-based strategy. A holding period of 60 calendar days with a 20-day trailing stop loss could help manage risk while capturing trend continuation.
