The 24-hour session for Alchemy Pay/Bitcoin (ACHBTC) saw little to no price movement, opening at 1.2e-07 on 2025-10-12 at 12:00 ET and closing at the same price on 2025-10-13 at 12:00 ET. The high and low were both 1.2e-07, with a brief move up to 1.3e-07 in the final hours of the session. Total volume was 16,682.0, and with a notional turnover of approximately $1.9996 (given the low price level), it was an exceptionally quiet day with minimal liquidity.

In terms of structure, the price action formed a narrow channel with no significant resistance or support levels breached. A small bullish move in the final hours of the session brought the price up to 1.3e-07 but failed to hold that level, suggesting limited buying pressure. A few small bullish candlestick formations appeared in the final hour, but these lacked confirmation from volume or follow-through.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart showed no divergence and remained within a few basis points of each other, reinforcing the sideways trend. MACD remained flat with no clear momentum signals, and RSI stayed neutral around the 50 level, indicating balanced buying and selling. Bollinger Bands remained tightly wrapped around the price, showing minimal volatility and suggesting the pair is in a consolidation phase.

Looking ahead, the market appears to be in a waiting mode with no immediate catalysts. Investors should watch for a decisive move either above 1.3e-07 or below 1.2e-07 to confirm the next direction. However, with current conditions, significant movement is unlikely within the next 24 hours. As always, volatility and volume spikes should be monitored for signs of larger institutional interest.

The technical indicators used in the proposed backtest align with the observed market behavior. The ACHBTC pair is currently trading in a tight range, and the support level defined as the 20-day rolling intraday low is likely near 1.2e-07. For a buy signal to be triggered, the price must close above this level after having spent at least one day below it. Given the recent consolidation, such a breakout has not occurred yet.

The volume filter criterion of being at least 1.5 times the 20-day average volume is critical in this context. Most of the session saw near-zero volume, and only two small volume spikes occurred in the final hours. These were not sufficient to meet the 1.5× threshold, indicating the current conditions do not support a valid signal under the proposed strategy.

Exit rules could be applied using either a time-based or risk-based approach. A 10-day time-based exit or a 10% take-profit and 8% stop-loss would help define clear profit and risk boundaries for the position. Given the low volatility and limited directional movement, time-based exits may be more practical in this market.
