BNB/Yen (BNBJPY) opened at ¥167,176 at 12:00 ET–1 and closed at ¥168,041 by 12:00 ET today, marking a 0.5% intraday gain. The pair touched a high of ¥168,437 and a low of ¥165,520 during the 24-hour window. Total trading volume reached 296.8 BTC, with turnover hitting approximately ¥49.7 billion, indicating active participation and potential trend acceleration.

The 15-minute chart shows a clear breakout above ¥168,000, supported by a strong golden cross in the daily MACD (12, 26, 9) and a bullish divergence in RSI. The 20-period moving average is now below the 50-period, suggesting short-term strength. On a larger scale, the 50-day and 200-day moving averages remain in a bearish alignment, indicating potential for a short-term correction after the upward thrust.

Bollinger Bands have widened following a period of consolidation, reinforcing the breakout narrative. Price currently resides just below the upper band, suggesting elevated volatility and potential continuation of the current bullish phase. Notable candlestick formations include a bullish engulfing pattern at ¥167,300 and a piercing line at ¥167,500. Fibonacci retracements from the recent ¥165,520–¥168,437 swing suggest critical levels at ¥167,700 (38.2%) and ¥168,200 (61.8%), where traders may expect profit-taking or further momentum.

RSI reached 72, signaling overbought conditions, but with strong volume supporting the move, a short-term continuation appears likely. A break below ¥167,500 may trigger a retest of ¥167,000, which acts as a key psychological and technical support. BNB/Yen may extend gains toward ¥169,000–¥169,500 in the next 24 hours, but a pullback is also possible as overbought readings often precede corrections.

Backtest Hypothesis

To evaluate the efficacy of a MACD-based strategy on BNBUSD.UDC from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-01, we plan to implement a daily trading rule: open a long position when the MACD (12, 26, 9) generates a golden cross (is_golden_cross = 1), and close the position exactly three trading days later. This approach aims to leverage the trend-following nature of the MACD while managing exposure through a fixed holding period. By mapping this logic against historical data, we can generate entry and exit signals for the back-test engine. This strategy aligns with the current bullish momentum observed in the daily MACD and may provide insight into how historical golden crosses have performed under various market conditions.
