The Bitcoin/Romanian Leu pair (BTCRON) opened at $498,529 at 12:00 ET–1 and closed at $495,081 at 12:00 ET today. The 24-hour range reached a high of $498,967 and a low of $493,793. Total volume was 0.13133 BTC and notional turnover amounted to approximately $64.9 million.

Structure & Formations

Price found key support at $495,198 multiple times, most recently at 14:45 ET and 16:00 ET. A bearish engulfing pattern formed at 18:30 ET, and a doji at 19:45 ET hinted at indecision near $497,159. A strong bearish breakout below the $495,000 level emerged after a consolidation phase from 19:30 ET to 20:30 ET, indicating bearish control.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average (SMA) was bearish, crossing below the 50 SMA to confirm a short-term downtrend. On the daily chart, the 50-day SMA at $493,800 acted as a critical support line, with price hovering just above it.

MACD & RSI

MACD remained in negative territory for most of the session, with bearish divergence between price and the histogram. RSI bottomed at 28 (oversold), signaling potential for a short-term bounce, but failed to show a strong reversal.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands contracted early in the session, suggesting a period of consolidation, but expanded sharply after 17:00 ET as price broke below the lower band, indicating a potential continuation of the downtrend.

Volume & Turnover

Volume increased significantly during the 19:30–20:30 ET and 11:15–11:30 ET sessions, confirming price declines. Notional turnover remained in line with volume, showing no divergence. However, several candles with high volume and small range suggested order-block accumulation.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci levels applied to the 17:00–19:30 ET swing showed price testing the 61.8% retracement level at $495,247 before breaking below it, confirming bearish continuation. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement at $494,300 served as a minor support level before price dropped further.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the observed bearish engulfing patterns, RSI oversold readings, and Bollinger Band breakouts, a potential backtest could focus on entering short positions when price breaks below the 61.8% Fibonacci level and confirms with a close below the 20-period SMA. A stop loss above the recent swing high at $497,239 and a take profit at $492,000 (a prior major support) would define the trade. This setup could be tested over a 24-hour time frame, using a trailing stop to capture momentum.
