Horizen/Bitcoin (ZENBTC) opened at $0.00006435 (12:00 ET − 1) and closed at $0.00005971 (12:00 ET), reaching a high of $0.00006435 and a low of $0.00005730.

Structure & Formations

ZENBTC formed a bearish breakdown pattern around $0.00006150–$0.00006200, which had acted as a key resistance area for several sessions. A deep bearish engulfing candle confirmed the breakdown after the price gapped below key support near $0.00006150. Following the breakdown, the price found a temporary floor at $0.00005900, but failed to generate meaningful bullish momentum. A doji formed at $0.00005960, indicating indecision among buyers. A retest of this level could either see renewed bearish pressure or a bounce if buyers step in.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the price closed below both the 20-period and 50-period moving averages, which currently sit near $0.00005980 and $0.00006005, respectively. This suggests continued bearish pressure in the short term. On the daily chart, the 50-period and 200-period moving averages remain above the current price, reinforcing the bearish bias over a longer time horizon. The 50-period MA at ~$0.00006140 may act as a critical resistance level for any attempted rebounds.

MACD & RSI

The MACD crossed below the zero line, confirming bearish momentum. The MACD histogram has been in negative territory for most of the session, suggesting prolonged bearish pressure. RSI dropped into oversold territory near 32, indicating the possibility of a near-term bounce. However, divergence between RSI and price action suggests a lack of conviction in the oversold level. A sustained close above $0.00005980 may trigger a short-term recovery in RSI, but this would need to be confirmed by volume.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the breakdown phase, with the price moving below the lower band after the low at $0.00005730. This is often seen as a sign of increased volatility and a potential turning point. The current price sits near the lower third of the bands, indicating a high volatility environment. A retest of the lower band may trigger either a continuation or a reversal, depending on the strength of the move.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked sharply after the breakdown at $0.00006150, with over 5,500 ZEN traded in the $0.00005730–$0.00005900 range, confirming bearish conviction. The notional turnover during this period was approximately $333, accounting for nearly 99% of the 24-hour total. While volume surged during the breakdown, it has since declined significantly, suggesting a lack of follow-through in the bearish direction. This divergence may foreshadow a near-term pause in the downtrend.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the recent swing from $0.00006435 to $0.00005730, key levels for potential support and resistance include the 38.2% retracement at $0.00006140 and the 61.8% retracement at $0.00005950. The price is currently near the 61.8% level, which could act as a temporary floor. A breakdown below this level may trigger a retest of the $0.00005730 intraday low. Conversely, a strong rebound above $0.00006000 could see the price retesting the 38.2% level.

Backtest Hypothesis

The provided backtesting strategy focuses on identifying bearish breakdown patterns confirmed by volume surges and RSI divergence. This aligns well with the recent price action, where ZENBTC exhibited a clear breakdown from key resistance, confirmed by a surge in volume and bearish engulfing candles. The RSI’s divergence during the breakdown phase further supports the strategy's validity. A potential enhancement could involve incorporating the 50-period moving average as a dynamic resistance level, which has already been tested and rejected. This approach could improve signal robustness by avoiding false signals in ranging environments.
