Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded during the morning rally, with prices reaching the upper band near 0.1585. Prices have since consolidated near the mid-band, indicating a potential pause in directional movement. The lower band currently sits near 0.1535–0.1540, which has provided recent support.

Recent 15-minute swings show retracement levels at 38.2% (0.1563), 50% (0.1554), and 61.8% (0.1545), with the latter acting as a key support. On the daily chart, the 50% and 61.8% retracements from the recent high (0.1585) align with current price action near 0.1550–0.1545, making it a likely near-term target for support or reversal.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy referenced a failed attempt to retrieve price data for the ticker “IOTAUSD.UDC.” This likely occurred because the ticker symbol used was not recognized by the data source. A common alternative is to specify the exchange, such as “IOTAUSDT.BINANCE” or “IOTAUSDT.COINBASE.” For a re-run, providing the exact symbol with the exchange would ensure accurate backtesting. The technical analysis above supports the use of IOTAUSDT with a 15-minute chart for swing-trading strategies, particularly using MA crossovers and RSI levels to identify overbought/oversold conditions.
