The BNB/Argentine Peso (BNBARS) pair opened at 1,524,317 ARS on 2025-09-19 at 16:00 ET and closed at 1,600,589 ARS 24 hours later. During that time, it reached a high of 1,601,203 ARS and a low of 1,519,764 ARS. Total volume traded was approximately 14.389 BNB, and notional turnover amounted to roughly 22.6 million ARS (based on weighted average prices). Price action was characterized by a strong bull move, with a brief but sharp correction mid-session.

Looking at the 15-minute chart, a key support level appears to have formed at around 1,520,000 ARS, which was tested and rejected twice during the session. Resistance levels were breached at 1,530,000 ARS and later at 1,570,000 ARS. A notable bullish engulfing pattern appeared around 22:00 ET, followed by a doji at 00:15 ET, which may indicate short-term consolidation after a sharp rise. The price action suggests a strong continuation of bullish momentum.

Moving averages (20/50) on the 15-minute chart show a steepening upward trend, with the 50-period line lagging significantly behind the 20-period line, reinforcing the strength of the move. The MACD histogram is expanding in the positive territory, indicating increasing upward momentum. RSI is above 60 and approaching overbought levels, suggesting the pair may face short-term profit-taking pressure. Bollinger Bands have expanded during the rally, which may signal a continuation of the current trend or a potential overextension.

On the volume and turnover front, the most significant spike occurred after 15:00 ET on 2025-09-20, coinciding with the final wave of buying that pushed prices above 1,600,000 ARS. This volume was not only higher but also accompanied by a sharp price move, providing confirmation of strength rather than a divergence. Fibonacci retracement levels from the key 1,519,764 ARS low to the 1,601,203 ARS high suggest that 1,582,000 ARS (38.2%) and 1,550,000 ARS (61.8%) could act as potential areas of interest for near-term support or resistance.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy in question leverages a combination of MACD crossovers and RSI overbought/oversold levels to time entries and exits. Specifically, a long entry is triggered when the MACD line crosses above the signal line and RSI is below 50, indicating a potential bullish setup with strong momentum. An exit is initiated when RSI reaches overbought levels (above 70) or the MACD line falls below the signal line.

Over the past 24-hour period, the MACD crossover occurred at around 22:00 ET, aligning with a bullish engulfing candle and a breakout above 1,530,000 ARS. A corresponding RSI reading of 56 at that time would have supported the long signal. A second entry could have been triggered after the 00:15 ET doji and 00:30 ET bullish candle, with RSI dipping below 60 and the MACD line remaining positive. The strategy would have captured much of the upward move into the final 1,601,000 ARS high, with exits occurring as RSI approached overbought levels late in the session.

This backtest suggests the strategy could perform well in strong trending environments like the one observed, though caution is warranted in volatile and choppy conditions where false signals may occur. Given the recent momentum and trend strength, a backtest over multiple similar sessions could yield further insights into the strategy’s robustness.
