The price structure remained largely within a defined range on the 15-minute chart, with a key resistance at $0.0000337 and support at $0.0000329. A bullish engulfing pattern formed briefly around 09:30–10:45 ET, but the price failed to break out decisively. A doji appeared at 20:00 ET, suggesting indecision.

Volatility, as measured by Bollinger Bands, remained narrow for most of the day, with the price staying within the bands and not showing any significant contraction or expansion. RSI hovered between 45 and 55, indicating neutral momentum. MACD remained flat with no clear signal of rising bullish or bearish momentum.

Volume spiked briefly around 06:45 ET and 08:15 ET, corresponding to small breakouts, but failed to confirm continuation. Turnover followed a similar pattern but remained below average for most of the session. A divergence between volume and price was noted in the evening as the pair drifted lower without any corresponding volume increase.

Fibonacci retracement levels were drawn from the most recent swing high at $0.0000342 to the swing low at $0.0000329. A 38.2% retracement level is at $0.0000335 and a 61.8% level at $0.0000333. The close at $0.0000334 suggests the pair is hovering near key support. A break below $0.0000333 could target the next level at $0.0000330.

Backtest Hypothesis
The proposed backtest strategy involves a short-term breakout trade using the 20-period EMA as a bias filter. A long entry is triggered when the price closes above the upper Bollinger Band and the 20 EMA is rising, with a stop loss placed below the 20 EMA. A short entry is triggered when the price closes below the lower Bollinger Band and the 20 EMA is falling. Given the recent behavior of PORTALBNB, the strategy would have entered a long position around 09:30 ET but would have exited quickly due to the failure to maintain the breakout. A short entry could have been triggered in the evening as the price drifted lower without conviction. The strategy appears to require tighter volatility or clearer breakouts to be effective in this context.
