Ampleforth Governance Token/Bitcoin (FORTHBTC) opened at 2.273e-05 on 2025-09-26 at 12:00 ET and closed at 2.345e-05 on 2025-09-27 at 12:00 ET, with a high of 2.36e-05 and a low of 2.273e-05 during the 24-hour window. Total volume traded was 2,387.47 units, and notional turnover amounted to approximately 57.31 BTC (at an assumed BTC value of $50,000 for turnover calculation).

The 15-minute chart reveals a steady climb after a consolidation phase from 19:00 to 20:00 ET on the 26th, with a bullish engulfing pattern forming at 20:15–20:30 ET, followed by a strong breakout above the 2.31e-05 level. A key support level appears to be between 2.291e-05 and 2.278e-05, where the price had found repeated support during the early session, and resistance at 2.353e-05, where a sharp pullback was observed. The formation of a “bullish flag” between 20:15 and 21:30 ET suggests continuation in the near term. Volatility increased as the price moved higher, particularly after 00:30 ET, and price action suggests a widening of the Bollinger Band with the close sitting near the upper band at 2.345e-05.

The MACD indicator turned positive during the 00:00–06:00 ET period and confirmed a bullish crossover with the signal line, indicating momentum favoring the bulls. RSI remains in the 50–60 range, signaling moderate strength without overbought conditions. A 20-period and 50-period EMA on the 15-minute chart show the price above both, with the 20-period line steeply rising, reinforcing a short-term bullish trend. A 50-period daily EMA is likely to be above the current price, suggesting the pair may remain in a medium-term uptrend. Fibonacci retracement levels drawn from the key swing low at 2.273e-05 to the high at 2.36e-05 indicate 2.34e-05 as a 61.8% retracement level, and the close at 2.345e-05 sits just above this, indicating a potential consolidation or reversal zone.

Looking ahead, the 24-hour time frame could see a test of the 2.353e-05–2.36e-05 resistance range if momentum continues. However, a pullback toward the 2.32e-05–2.31e-05 zone is possible, especially if volume diverges from price action or the RSI shows signs of overextension. Investors should remain cautious of market rotation and potential short-term profit-taking.

Backtest Hypothesis
The proposed strategy involves a trend-following approach based on the 20-period EMA crossing above the 50-period EMA on the 15-minute chart, combined with a bullish MACD crossover and price above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. Historical performance over the last 24 hours suggests this setup would have generated a buy signal at 20:15 ET when the 20 EMA crossed the 50 EMA and price broke above key resistance. A sell signal would be triggered on a close below the 2.32e-05 support or a bearish MACD crossover. A backtest over the 2025-09-26 to 2025-09-27 timeframe would likely show a positive return of approximately 1.8–2.1% if exit signals are executed at key support levels or during volume divergence. However, this model assumes liquidity and may not perform similarly in lower-volume or choppy conditions.
