Structure & Formations

The 24-hour chart displayed a consolidation pattern within a descending channel, with a critical support at 1.73e-06 and resistance forming near 1.75e-06. A bearish engulfing candle appeared around 20:30 ET, indicating a potential shift in sentiment. A doji at 05:00 ET on 2025-11-05 hinted at indecision after a brief bullish attempt.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages remained nearly flat, with the price hovering slightly above the 50-period line. This suggests a weak bullish bias, though the crossover remains inconclusive. On the daily chart, the 50/100/200 SMA lines were aligned in a downtrend, reinforcing bearish momentum.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram displayed neutral divergence with no clear directional bias. The RSI stayed in the 50-60 range for most of the day, indicating moderate momentum without extreme overbought or oversold conditions. A mild bearish crossover of the RSI with its signal line occurred just after 03:00 ET.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility remained tight, with the bands constricting during midday and expanding slightly in the evening. The price traded within the middle band for most of the session, signaling a lack of conviction in either direction. The narrowing bands suggest a potential breakout could be imminent.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the 18:45–19:00 ET session, coinciding with a price drop from 1.75e-06 to 1.73e-06. However, the subsequent 4–5 hour window showed a marked decline in volume, with price consolidating near 1.74e-06. This divergence between volume and price could signal weakening bearish momentum.

Fibonacci Retracements

Key retracement levels were drawn between the 1.78e-06 high and 1.7e-06 low. The 61.8% level at 1.734e-06 coincided with recent support, making it a critical area to watch. A breakdown below this level could trigger a move toward the 1.70e-06 level.

Backtest Hypothesis

To validate the bearish engulfing pattern observed during the session, a backtest could be designed using Lisk/Bitcoin as the target asset. The strategy would open a short position at the next candle’s open and exit at its close (option a). By scanning for Bearish Engulfing patterns from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-05, the backtest would assess the profitability and win rate of this pattern under real market conditions.
