EigenLayer/Bitcoin (EIGENBTC) opened at 1.579e-05 on October 7 at 12:00 ET and traded as high as 1.642e-05 before closing at 1.551e-05 on October 8 at 12:00 ET. The 24-hour volume was 104,875.28 with a notional turnover of $1.67 (using EIGENBTC’s closing price as proxy).

The 24-hour candlestick pattern formed a broad descending triangle, with key resistance observed at 1.625e-05 and support at 1.551e-05. A bearish engulfing pattern emerged near the top of the range, suggesting a short-term reversal after a brief rally. Additionally, a doji formed around 1.631e-05, signaling indecision among traders at that price level. These patterns suggest that sellers have taken control in the short term, with potential for further downside unless buyers can push the price above the 1.625e-05 resistance.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart crossed bearishly, indicating short-term bearish momentum. On the daily timeframe, the 50-period MA crossed below the 200-period MA, reinforcing the bearish bias. The MACD histogram turned negative mid-day and remained so, confirming weakening bullish momentum. The RSI reached a low of 28, suggesting the pair may be approaching oversold territory. However, a rebound from such levels may be limited without a clear reversal signal.

Bollinger Bands narrowed between 1.579e-05 and 1.601e-05, signaling low volatility and potential for a breakout. The price tested the upper band twice, failing to hold above it both times, which suggests resistance at that level is strong. Volatility has since increased, with the price currently sitting just below the lower band, indicating a period of consolidation or bearish continuation.

Volume spiked during key resistance tests and was highest between 1.619e-05 and 1.625e-05, indicating selling pressure at those levels. Notional turnover also increased during these periods, supporting the view that bearish players were more active. However, volume declined after the price broke below key support, suggesting a lack of conviction in the downward move—this divergence may offer a cautionary note for short-term bears.

Fibonacci retracement levels based on the swing high of 1.642e-05 and the recent low of 1.551e-05 show that the 61.8% level aligns with 1.579e-05, a level that the price briefly tested but failed to hold. The 38.2% level is at 1.608e-05, a potential resistance zone for a near-term rebound. If the price retests the 38.2% level with strong volume, a short-covering rally could follow.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the observed bearish reversal patterns and the RSI hovering near oversold levels, a potential backtest could involve a short bias triggered by a break below key support levels (1.579e-05) confirmed by a bearish engulfing candle. A stop-loss could be placed above the most recent swing high, around 1.625e-05, while the take-profit target might align with the next Fibonacci level at 1.557e-05. This setup would aim to capture the continuation of the bearish move, provided the market does not show signs of reversal through a bullish divergence or a breakout above key resistance. Given the recent volume behavior and MACD signal, this strategy would be most effective in a low-volatility environment where sentiment is decisively bearish.
