Backtest Hypothesis
A potential backtest strategy could be based on a support trigger defined as “Price falls to or below the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA)” using DOGSUSDT daily closing prices. Entry would occur at the open of the next day after the trigger, and exit rules could include a 5-day hold period or a 5% profit target and 3% stop-loss, whichever comes first. This approach would allow testing the efficacy of entering trades at major support levels identified by long-term moving averages.
