Divergence in volume and price during earlier hours suggests short-term profit-taking, but the recent volume surge supports a higher probability of continuation.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy under consideration focuses on identifying and acting on Bullish Engulfing candlestick patterns. These patterns, characterized by a large bullish candle following a smaller bearish one, are often interpreted as strong reversal signals in technical analysis. However, the data-service encountered an issue in locating the correct ticker symbol to retrieve historical occurrences of this pattern. This typically means the symbol format (e.g., including an exchange like Binance or OKX) needs to be adjusted. To proceed with the backtesting, the correct exchange-qualified symbol must be confirmed, or an alternative supported asset can be used to test the strategy. Once resolved, the strategy can be validated by applying it to the MANAUSDT chart and evaluating its historical performance across the identified pattern dates.
