Structure and Formations

Price has been declining across multiple timeframes, with a key support level forming around 2.60e-06, as evidenced by recent bounces off that level. Bearish continuation patterns such as lower highs and lower lows are present, and a potential bearish engulfing pattern is forming near the close. A doji appears near 2.64e-06, suggesting indecision, but the trend remains downward.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, both the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are below the current price, reinforcing the bearish bias. On the daily chart, the 50/100/200-day moving average cluster is likely positioned above current levels, suggesting the pair is trading below its multi-week mean.

MACD & RSI

The 15-minute MACD remains in negative territory with bearish divergence, indicating ongoing downward momentum. RSI is currently in oversold territory, but not in an extreme condition—possibly signaling potential for a temporary bounce, though without confirmation of a reversal.

Bollinger Bands

Price has drifted closer to the lower Bollinger Band, suggesting a period of heightened volatility. The band expansion began late in the 24-hour period and may indicate a potential short-term bounce, though the bearish trend shows no sign of abating.

Volume and Turnover

Volume has increased in recent hours, especially after 17:00 ET, as the price broke below key support levels. Notional turnover rose concurrently, indicating strong bearish conviction. Price and volume are aligned in the same direction, reinforcing the bearish narrative.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the last significant 15-minute swing (2.77e-06 to 2.57e-06), the 38.2% level is at 2.67e-06 and the 61.8% level is at 2.62e-06. Price appears to be testing the 61.8% level as it currently trades near 2.61e-06. A break below this could trigger a deeper retracement.

Backtest Hypothesis

To explore potential trading opportunities using ARBBTC, a backtesting strategy is proposed based on the 14-period RSI. This strategy would generate buy signals whenever RSI falls below 30, entering the trade at the next day’s open and exiting after seven calendar days. By running this strategy from 1 January 2022 to 2025-11-12, we could evaluate its effectiveness in capturing rebounds from oversold levels in this pair. The strategy would also provide insights into risk-reward balance, maximum drawdown, and overall performance across varying market conditions.
