Arweave/Bitcoin (ARBTC) opened at 4.9e-05 on 2025-11-11 at 12:00 ET, reaching a high of 4.96e-05 and a low of 4.57e-05 before closing at 4.86e-05 on 2025-11-12 at 12:00 ET. Total volume for the 24-hour window was 22,350.36 BTC, with a notional turnover of approximately $1,082.36 (using ARBTC’s closing price as proxy for BTC value).

The candlestick structure showed a bearish bias with multiple engulfing patterns, particularly at key price levels around 4.85e-05 and 5.05e-05. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart showed ARBTC consistently below both, reinforcing the bearish tone. A 50-period daily MA, if available, would also likely show similar downward pressure, though this data is not provided.

The RSI remained in neutral to slightly oversold territory throughout much of the session, dipping to 28 during the early morning dip, suggesting short-term exhaustion among bears. MACD remained negative with a narrowing histogram, indicating weakening momentum. Bollinger Bands expanded during the late ET hours, showing increased volatility, with ARBTC bouncing off the lower band multiple times, hinting at short-term support clustering around 4.79e-05–4.83e-05.

Volume was unevenly distributed, with a peak at 1985.19 BTC at 20:15 ET coinciding with a sharp drop to 4.8e-05, suggesting heavy selling. Notional turnover also surged at that time. A divergence between volume and price occurred during the afternoon rebound when ARBTC climbed to 5.05e-05 with relatively low volume, casting doubt on the strength of the recovery.

Fibonacci retracement levels of the key 4.57e-05 to 4.96e-05 move suggested 38.2% at 4.75e-05 and 61.8% at 4.89e-05 as potential support and resistance zones, respectively. ARBTC spent much of the session consolidating near 4.85e-05, just below the 61.8% retracement level.

The backtest hypothesis suggests that the Bearish Engulfing pattern has historically influenced ARBTC’s price trajectory, particularly in 2022. This pattern has aligned with broader bearish sentiment, signaling continued selling pressure. Traders who identified these patterns could have used them to short the asset with reasonable confidence. The appearance of a similar pattern on 08:45 ET today aligns with this historical signal and may be worth monitoring for confirmation.
