Structure & Formations

Price oscillated within a defined range, lacking clear trend formation. A brief bearish correction occurred around 17:00 ET, where price dropped from 1.14e-06 to 1.12e-06. This was followed by a retest of the level, with minor bearish engulfing patterns appearing briefly, but no strong reversal formations such as dojis or hammers were observed. The key support level appears to be forming near 1.11e-06, with the 1.12e-06 level acting as a temporary resistance.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20- and 50-period moving averages closely track the price, indicating a flat, non-directional trend. The 50-period MA crossed slightly above the 20-period MA in the morning hours, suggesting a short-term bullish bias that was quickly negated by the flat closing action. For daily timeframes, the 50-period MA sits slightly above the 100-period MA, but the 200-period MA remains aligned with the current price, reinforcing the absence of a strong trend.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram remained near zero for most of the period, with no significant divergence from the price action. The signal line crossed the histogram at midday, indicating indecision in the market. RSI oscillated between 50 and 55, staying well within neutral territory and showing no signs of overbought or oversold conditions. This suggests that the market remains in a consolidation phase without strong bullish or bearish momentum.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands displayed a contraction during the inactive hours, with the price remaining within a tight band for the majority of the period. This low volatility suggests market participants are waiting for a catalyst. Price stayed within the bands without touching the outer limits, indicating that volatility remains subdued and a breakout is not imminent.

Volume & Turnover

Volume was generally low, with only a few spikes noted during the 17:00–19:00 ET window. The highest volume spike occurred around 17:00 ET, coinciding with the brief bearish move. Despite this, the price failed to follow through, indicating weak conviction in the move. Turnover mirrored the volume pattern, with no significant divergences noted between price and volume during the session.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the recent 15-minute swing from 1.14e-06 to 1.11e-06 shows that the 38.2% and 61.8% levels sit near 1.1306e-06 and 1.1167e-06, respectively. The price currently hovers just below the 61.8% level. On the daily chart, no significant retracements were observed due to the flat price movement and lack of directional bias.

Backtest Hypothesis

The absence of a recognized REQBTC trading pair in our data sources currently limits the ability to backtest a Doji-Star pattern-based strategy. However, the current price and volume profile suggests that if a Doji-Star pattern were to emerge, it would likely appear as a consolidation signal rather than a reversal formation. A successful backtest would require identifying the correct exchange and ticker (e.g., BINANCE: REQBTC), as well as confirming whether close prices or another metric is preferred for strategy execution. With this data, we could test how the market reacts to bearish or bullish Dojis in the context of a low-volume, range-bound environment such as this.
