ORDI/Bitcoin opened at 4.29e-05 on 2025-10-30 at 12:00 ET and closed at 4.199e-05 by 12:00 ET on 2025-10-31, with a high of 4.31e-05 and a low of 4.139e-05. The 24-hour volume totaled 8,100.57, with a notional turnover of approximately $343.9 BTC equivalent, depending on BTC price.

The 15-minute chart shows a clear breakdown from 4.29e-05 to 4.139e-05, forming a bearish engulfing candle at the peak. This was followed by a rapid pullback that appears to be testing a prior swing low. The price remains below both the 20 and 50 EMA levels on the 15-minute chart, reinforcing bearish bias. Notably, the breakdown occurred with relatively high volume and low follow-through, suggesting potential hesitation or accumulation at lower levels.

Bollinger Bands show a recent expansion, indicating rising volatility, but the price remains near the lower band, pointing to oversold conditions. RSI is below 30, hinting at potential short-term bounce, though MACD has crossed into negative territory, signaling bearish momentum. Fibonacci retracements from the recent high at 4.31e-05 to the low at 4.139e-05 show key levels at 4.224e-05 (38.2%) and 4.181e-05 (61.8%), with the price currently consolidating near the 61.8% level.

The next 24 hours may bring a retest of the 4.139e-05 support or a short-term bounce off the 4.19e-05 level. However, volume and follow-through remain weak, which could lead to prolonged consolidation or a bearish continuation. Investors should remain cautious and watch for confirmation at key Fib levels before taking directional bets.

Backtest Hypothesis
To model a potential short-term bearish bias observed in today’s price action, a backtest can be structured around the Bearish-Engulfing candlestick pattern. This pattern typically occurs at or near resistance levels and is considered a strong reversal signal in bearish conditions. If applied to the ORDI/BTC daily chart from 1 January 2022 to 31 October 2025, the strategy would involve entering a short position on the following session’s open after a confirmed Bearish-Engulfing pattern and exiting after three calendar days.

This approach aligns with the bearish momentum seen in today’s 15-minute chart, where a significant engulfing pattern was observed. The strategy’s performance would depend on the frequency and accuracy of these signals, as well as the behavior of the price after the 3-day window. To proceed, confirm the exact ticker symbol used for ORDI/BTC in your data source (e.g., “ORDIBTC.UDC”) and confirm the entry/exit logic for the backtest.
