Basic Attention Token/Tether (BATUSDT) opened at 0.2131 on 2025-11-06 12:00 ET and closed at 0.2164 at the same time the next day. During the 24-hour period, the pair reached a high of 0.2254 and a low of 0.2077. Total traded volume was 55.9 million, and notional turnover amounted to approximately $12.1 million, reflecting moderate to high activity.

The price action over the past 24 hours features a clear consolidation pattern following a strong bullish breakout in the early morning ET. A key candlestick formation appears during the 03:30–04:15 ET window, where a bullish engulfing pattern emerges around the 0.2216–0.2234 range. This pattern is supported by a notable volume spike, indicating possible buying pressure.

Price has since pulled back into a narrower range, with the 0.2164–0.2196 zone forming a new support/resistance area. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart remain above the price, indicating bearish bias at the moment. The 50-period daily moving average is above the 200-day MA, suggesting a longer-term bullish trend is intact despite recent volatility.

Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests overbought conditions during the 03:30–04:15 ET window, with values peaking at 70. This was followed by a pullback into neutral to slightly oversold territory. Momentum appears to be waning as of late, with the MACD histogram showing a narrowing as bullish momentum slows.

The upper Bollinger Band reached as high as 0.2254, and price spent several hours near this level, indicating a period of high volatility. A notable contraction in the Bollinger Band width occurred during the 04:15–06:00 ET window, suggesting a potential breakout period. Fibonacci retracements drawn from the 0.2077 low to the 0.2254 high show that current price is testing the 61.8% retracement level at 0.2176, a key psychological pivot.

The 15-minute chart reveals a consolidation phase beginning around 06:00 ET, with volume and price diverging slightly. While volume remains moderate, price action shows hesitation, indicating a potential shift in sentiment. Investors should watch for a break of the 0.2164 support level or a retest of the 0.2234 resistance. If volume continues to increase with a retest, a short-term reversal or continuation could materialize.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the limitations of the backtesting engine—which only supports daily bars and whole-day holding periods—we propose approximating the 15-minute Bullish Engulfing pattern signal with a one-day holding strategy. This approach would involve entering a long position at the close when a confirmed Bullish Engulfing pattern appears and exiting at the next day’s open or close. Using this method, we could backtest the effectiveness of this pattern on BATUSDT from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-07. While this introduces a time approximation, it remains the most feasible approach within the constraints of the current tooling.
