Fibonacci Retracements

Fib levels from the 2.94e-06 to 3.06e-06 swing indicated a key 61.8% level at 3.02e-06, where price stalled. Daily retracements suggested further support at 2.99e-06 and resistance at 3.06e-06.

Backtest Hypothesis

The MACD bottom divergence strategy, which typically looks for price lows not confirmed by the MACD, could be tested for its predictive accuracy on IOBTC. Given the weak divergence observed and the lack of a clear bearish reversal signal, any backtest should factor in tight range-bound conditions to avoid false signals.
