Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtesting strategy for PAXGBTC involves entering a long position when price breaks above the 0.03201 support with confirmation from a bullish engulfing candle and a positive MACD crossover. Stops are placed just below the 0.03201 level, with targets aligned to the 38.2% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels. This approach aligns with the observed structure and technical indicators in the 24-hour session, particularly the late-day bullish break and volume confirmation. Further testing is needed to validate the effectiveness of this setup under varying volatility conditions.
