Structure & Formations

Price action on the 15-minute chart shows a strong bullish reversal pattern forming around 19:30 ET, where the price broke above a prior resistance level after a series of bearish consolidation candles. A large bullish engulfing pattern followed by a strong hammer pattern at 21:45 ET signaled a short-term shift in momentum. However, by the late hours of the following day, the price showed signs of bearish exhaustion with multiple doji and small-bodied candles, suggesting indecision among traders.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages remained in bullish alignment for most of the day, but by the close, the 20-period line began to flatten and showed signs of lagging behind the 50-period line, suggesting potential bearish pressure. On the daily chart, the 50-period moving average crossed above the 100-period line in early afternoon, reinforcing a longer-term bullish bias.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed above the signal line early in the morning, confirming bullish momentum, but the histogram began to contract by midday, indicating waning bullish strength. RSI hit overbought territory (above 70) in the 20:00–22:00 ET window, but failed to maintain these levels, suggesting a lack of conviction in the bullish move. By the close, RSI had retreated to neutral territory (around 55), implying a potential retest of key support levels.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly during the midday hours, with the upper band reaching up to 1.272e-05 and the lower band sitting at 9.05e-05. The price traded near the upper band for several hours, which is typically a sign of overbought conditions. By the late morning of the next day, volatility had narrowed, and the price settled just below the middle band, indicating a potential consolidation phase ahead.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the late-night and early-morning hours, particularly between 19:00 and 21:00 ET, with a total of 135,078.76 units traded during a 15-minute window. However, notional turnover in BTC was slightly lower than expected during those periods, pointing to a possible divergence between volume and price. This divergence may indicate that the recent bullish move was driven more by large traders rather than broad market participation.

Fibonacci Retracements

A 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of 1.156e-05 acted as a strong support zone during the late hours of the 9th, as the price tested and bounced off this level multiple times. On the 15-minute chart, price found resistance at the 38.2% retracement level (1.126e-05), where it struggled to break through despite several attempts. These retracement levels align with key price action patterns, suggesting that these zones could be relevant for short-term directional bias.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy aims to identify key 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels for Nano/Bitcoin over a historical timeframe, but the current data pull failed to retrieve the required asset base information. One viable path forward is to re-query the data using a standard OHLC dataset and calculate the 61.8% retracements manually. This approach would allow for a more streamlined backtesting workflow while ensuring accuracy in the retracement levels used for entry and exit signals. If the retracement levels are already known or can be provided manually, the backtest could proceed immediately without re-querying data sources.
