Arbitrum/Bitcoin (ARBBTC) opened the 24-hour window on 2025-11-11 at $2.76e-06 (12:00 ET – 1) and reached a high of $2.94e-06. The pair closed at $2.76e-06 at 12:00 ET, settling near the session low. Total 24-hour volume amounted to 2,513,237.9 units, with a notional turnover of approximately $7.32 USD (based on average price), indicating moderate liquidity and engagement.

On the 15-minute OHLCV data, key support levels appear to form between $2.76e-06 and $2.79e-06, with a notable bearish engulfing pattern observed near $2.92e-06 during the late Eastern session. A doji formed at $2.85e-06, signaling indecision and a potential turning point. The price has shown a reluctance to break above $2.94e-06, suggesting that this level may serve as a near-term resistance.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart indicate a bearish bias, with the 20-period line crossing below the 50-period line in the afternoon, reinforcing the downward momentum. MACD remains bearish, with a negative histogram and a slow crossover indicating ongoing selling pressure. RSI briefly entered overbought territory around $2.94e-06 but has since retreated to neutral ground (~40–50), suggesting a potential bounce may be due.

Bollinger Bands show recent volatility expansion, with the upper band hitting $2.94e-06 and the lower band settling at $2.75e-06. Price has spent most of the session within the band, but a contraction may be forming in the last few hours, hinting at a potential breakout or continuation of the range. A 38.2% Fibonacci retracement from the recent high to low is currently at $2.84e-06, which has shown multiple tests and appears to act as a minor resistance.

The 50-period daily MA remains well above current levels, indicating the longer-term trend remains bearish. However, the volume profile shows a divergence during the late NY session—volume increased while price declined—suggesting a possible exhaustion of bearish momentum. This could hint at a short-term reversal or consolidation before a resumption of the downtrend.

Backtest Hypothesis
A potential backtest strategy could involve using the 15-minute chart’s MACD crossover (12,26,9) and RSI levels (30–70) to signal entries. A golden cross in the MACD histogram, combined with RSI dipping below 30, could generate a long signal near key Fibonacci levels such as $2.76e-06 or $2.79e-06. Conversely, a death cross in the MACD and RSI above 70 could trigger a short signal near $2.84e-06 or $2.92e-06. The strategy would be backtested using the OHLCV data provided, with stop-loss and take-profit levels based on Bollinger Band and support/resistance structures to manage risk and capture directional moves.
