The 24-hour period for Arweave/Bitcoin (ARBTC) saw a session open at $4.2e-05 and a close at $4.17e-05, with a high of $4.48e-05 and a low of $4.05e-05. Total volume traded was 16,596.37, and notional turnover reached $0.72. The pair has shown a range-bound profile with key support forming around $4.1e-05 and resistance at $4.4e-05.

Structure and formations during the 24-hour span revealed a strong bearish engulfing pattern in the early morning, suggesting a shift in sentiment. Multiple consolidation periods and a few bullish hammers indicate potential support levels, though bearish pressure dominated the latter half of the session. Key Fibonacci retracement levels, particularly the 61.8% level at $4.26e-05, were tested multiple times, offering a reference point for possible rebounds.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart showed the 20-period line crossing below the 50-period line, forming a bearish signal. On the daily chart, the 50-period line is approaching the 100-period line, hinting at possible convergence. Price action has hovered near the 20-period moving average, but has not managed to establish a clear breakout.

MACD readings showed a bearish crossover with the signal line moving lower, while RSI hit overbought levels earlier in the session before returning to neutral. This suggests a reversal may be near. Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the early part of the session, indicating heightened volatility. Price has since settled closer to the midline, suggesting potential consolidation before a next move.

Volume spiked during the early morning and late afternoon hours, particularly at key price levels. The highest turnover occurred around the $4.4e-05 level during a sharp sell-off, indicating significant liquidation pressure. Notional turnover mirrored the price action closely, confirming the bearish narrative during key sell-offs but diverging slightly during minor consolidations.

The Fibonacci retracement levels of the recent $4.05e-05–$4.48e-05 swing place key levels at $4.26e-05 (38.2%) and $4.35e-05 (61.8%). These levels appear to have acted as temporary resistance and may serve as potential targets for rebounds. However, the bearish momentum currently dominates, suggesting a test of lower support levels could be in play over the next 24 hours.

Backtest Hypothesis
A backtesting approach could leverage the bearish engulfing pattern identified during the early morning hours as a sell entry trigger. A 15-minute or daily holding period would suit the data constraints. If using daily data, entering on the next day’s open and exiting after one daily bar would align with the available data structure. Alternatively, a daily holding period with the pattern-based entry could still test the strategy’s robustness. Further refinement would require specifying the ticker symbol—whether it is ARBTC as a crypto pair or another derivative—alongside the preferred bar interval. This setup could form the basis for evaluating the pattern's predictive power and risk-adjusted returns.
