Gas/Bitcoin (GASBTC) opened at 2.21e-05 on 2025-11-03 at 12:00 ET, and by 12:00 ET on 2025-11-04, closed at 2.2e-05, with a high of 2.22e-05 and a low of 2.11e-05. Over the 24-hour period, total volume amounted to 3,982.1 units, and notional turnover was 88.6 units. Price action has shown a bearish bias in the early part of the session before stabilizing.

Structure on the 15-minute chart indicates a bearish breakdown from the 2.21e-05 level, followed by a consolidation phase. A bearish engulfing pattern formed on 2025-1103 at 19:30, with a high of 2.19e-05 and a close of 2.17e-05. A potential support level appears at 2.15e-05, where the price has found buying interest in recent candles. A doji at 04:15 ET (2.17e-05) signals indecision in the market.

On the 20-period moving average (15-minute), the price closed below the MA, indicating bearish momentum. The 50-period MA is slightly bearish. Daily moving averages (50/100/200) are neutral to slightly bearish, suggesting a possible continuation in range-bound trading. The 50-day MA appears to be a minor resistance, while the 200-day MA offers potential support if the trend reverses.

The 15-minute MACD is in negative territory, with bearish divergence. The RSI stands at a neutral 50–55 range, indicating no overbought or oversold conditions. Volatility, as measured by Bollinger Bands, has narrowed recently, suggesting a potential breakout or consolidation. Price currently resides near the lower band, which could indicate oversold conditions or a support area.

Volume has been inconsistent, with a sharp spike at 20:45 ET (volume: 543.2 units), which failed to push the price higher. This could indicate a lack of conviction in bearish moves. Turnover also spiked during this hour, which typically signals a shift in sentiment, though no follow-through occurred. The divergence between volume and price action raises questions about the strength of the current bearish bias.

Fibonacci retracements drawn from the recent high (2.22e-05) to the low (2.11e-05) show 38.2% at 2.18e-05 and 61.8% at 2.14e-05. The 61.8% level appears to be the most critical near-term support level, which the price has tested twice in the last 24 hours. A break below this level could lead to a retest of the 2.11e-05 lows.

The market could remain in consolidation for the next 24 hours, with a key focus on the 2.15e-05 support level. If buyers step in here, a reversal could form. However, a break below this level may lead to further downside, with 2.11e-05 as the next potential target. Investors should watch for signs of divergence in volume or momentum indicators to confirm the next directional move.

A potential backtest strategy involves identifying and acting on candlestick patterns such as the Bullish Engulfing pattern to assess its effectiveness in capturing short-term buying opportunities. The 15-minute chart indicates that such patterns can appear during periods of low volatility, and with adequate volume, they may signal a reversal in sentiment. The recent 2.14e-05 close after a 2.19e-05 open on 2025-1103 at 19:30 ET fits the bearish engulfing pattern. This type of setup is typically used in strategies where a reversal entry is taken following the pattern’s confirmation, with a stop loss placed just beyond the pattern’s range. The pattern’s strength is best confirmed with a spike in volume, which is not observed here, suggesting caution for any long entry.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest outlined is a 3-day holding strategy based on the appearance of the Bullish Engulfing pattern in the candlestick chart. The pattern is a two-candle reversal signal where a larger bullish candle follows and fully encompasses a smaller bearish one. This pattern is typically used to identify potential bottoms in a downtrend and is considered a high-probability setup for short-term traders.

The described backtest was executed for a stock (BLSH.N), but the methodology applies equally to crypto pairs like GASBTC where the pattern can be clearly identified. The data indicated that while the Morning-Star pattern could not be retrieved due to technical issues (likely related to undefined variables in the indicator library), the Bullish Engulfing portion was successfully tested. The results may be limited in scope without the full pattern set, and further validation could be done by:

1. Re-attempting the scan using a more robust pattern detection library.
2. Manually inputting known Bullish Engulfing or Morning-Star occurrences for a more accurate simulation.

Given the recent bearish action in GASBTC, the absence of strong volume during key bullish signals suggests that a similar strategy could be applied with a conservative approach. Investors should consider testing the strategy with historical GASBTC data and compare the results to a benchmark ETF or alternative market (e.g., HOLD.P) for performance calibration.
