On the daily timeframe, the 50, 100, and 200-period averages have been trending downward, suggesting a continuation of a bearish bias. The RSI dipped below 30 by 21:00 ET, signaling oversold territory, while the MACD crossed below the signal line with a bearish divergence.

Bollinger Bands widened as volatility increased between 19:00–20:30 ET, with price finding a temporary floor at the lower band (0.0532–0.0540). Fibonacci retracements from the 0.05685–0.0518 swing highlighted key levels at 0.0544 (61.8%), 0.0550 (50%), and 0.0557 (38.2%), with price consolidating near the 61.8% retracement. Notable candlestick patterns included a bearish engulfing formation at 21:45 ET, a long lower shadow at 00:45–01:15 ET, and a bearish harami at 01:30–01:45 ET.

Volume spiked during the 21:45–02:00 ET window but failed to confirm a rebound above 0.0555. Turnover followed a similar pattern but was lower in volume after 03:00 ET. A bearish divergence between volume and price became evident as volume waned during the rally attempts after 05:00 ET, hinting at weakening buying interest.

The next 24 hours may see a test of support at 0.0531 and resistance at 0.0549, with the risk of further downside if the 0.0531 level breaks. A break above 0.0549 could trigger a rebound but is considered unlikely given the current bearish momentum.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy could involve detecting Bullish Engulfing patterns on the 15-minute ARDRUSDT chart. While attempting to retrieve this pattern over the 2022–2025 period, the data service encountered an error, likely due to an incomplete or incorrect query format. A viable alternative is to:

1. Retrieve the raw OHLC data for ARDRUSDT (15-minute intervals) and apply local pattern detection to identify Bullish Engulfing setups.
2. Execute a 1-day-hold backtest with a fixed stop-loss and take-profit to evaluate the pattern’s effectiveness in this market context.

By implementing pattern detection locally, we can bypass the data retrieval issue and test the strategy directly using available price data. This approach aligns well with the observed price behavior, particularly during short-term bounces in the 0.0535–0.0549 range.
