RSI reached 52 by the end of the day, suggesting moderate buying pressure without overbought conditions.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy under consideration involves a 15-minute reversal breakout approach, focusing on identifying bullish engulfing patterns that occur above a key support level. This method aligns with the observed pattern at 0.0002138, where a bullish reversal was confirmed with a follow-through move. The strategy would involve entering a long position at the open of the breakout candle, with a stop-loss placed just below the engulfing pattern’s low.

For KernelDAO/BNB, this approach would have triggered a long entry at 0.0002138 or slightly above, with a target aligned with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at 0.0002177 and a stop below 0.0002118. Historical data from the last 24 hours suggests this method could have yielded a 2.9% return with a favorable risk-to-reward ratio. Further backtesting on a broader data set would be needed to validate consistency across different market conditions and timeframes.
