Structure & Formations

Price action showed a strong bullish reversal pattern after a bearish breakdown attempt from 19:00 to 20:15 ET. A key support level around 1.52e-05 BTC was retested and rejected, followed by a strong rally into overbought territory. A potential resistance cluster forms around 1.68e-05 BTC, coinciding with a 38.2% Fibonacci level from the recent swing low. A bearish engulfing pattern around 20:15 ET marked the start of the reversal, suggesting short-term sellers were overwhelmed.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period EMA crossed above the 50-period SMA near 1.53e-05 BTC, confirming bullish momentum. The daily chart shows a positive divergence with the 200-period SMA, which could signal a medium-term trend reversal from a bearish bias.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed into positive territory around 21:45 ET, aligning with a sharp price breakout. RSI peaked near 70, indicating overbought conditions, though divergence between rising prices and flattening RSI suggests caution for near-term consolidation or a pullback.

Bollinger Bands

Bands expanded significantly during the late ET rally, with price approaching the upper band at 1.749e-05 BTC. This suggests increased volatility, with traders likely to watch whether prices stay within or break out of the channel.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the 19:00–00:00 ET rally, with over 100,000 units traded during this period. Turnover matched the price strength, but volume dipped slightly after the 1.68e-05 BTC level was reached, signaling potential short-term indecision among traders.

Fibonacci Retracements

Price retested the 61.8% retracement level at 1.52e-05 BTC before breaking higher. A successful close above 1.68e-05 BTC may trigger a test of the 1.749e-05 BTC high, with a 1.85e-05 BTC target if the 38.2% retracement level of the current rally is cleared.

Backtest Hypothesis

The proposed backtesting strategy seeks to exploit momentum in the ZROBTC pair using daily MACD Golden-Cross signals with a “hold for 5 trading days” rule. However, this strategy requires accurate historical MACD data, which currently cannot be retrieved due to a data source error for the symbol “ZROBTC.” To proceed, the correct ticker symbol must be confirmed or alternative data provided. Once verified, the strategy can be backtested from 2022-01-01 to present, offering insights into the viability of this momentum-based approach.

Forward Outlook & Risk

The next 24 hours could see consolidation near 1.68e-05 BTC or a continuation of the rally, depending on whether buyers step in at key resistance. A failure to hold above 1.55e-05 BTC may trigger a retracement. As always, volatility remains a risk, and investors should watch for order flow imbalances and divergences in volume and momentum indicators.
