The Ampleforth Governance Token/Bitcoin (FORTHBTC) pair opened at 2.120e-05 on 2025-11-08 at 12:00 ET, reached a high of 2.168e-05, a low of 2.074e-05, and closed at 2.122e-05 on 2025-11-09 at 12:00 ET. Total volume was 15,837.40 units, and turnover amounted to 3.3467 BTC (based on weighted averages), over the 24-hour window.

The pair spent most of the day within a tight range, with a significant pullback occurring between 22:30–03:00 ET, when it dropped below 2.100e-05. This downward move was partially retraced during the early morning hours. A key bearish pattern, the Bearish Engulfing, emerged around 21:30–21:45 ET, where a strong bullish candle was followed by a larger bearish one, indicating a potential reversal. However, the pattern was not followed by a sharp continuation, and price remained in a neutral range for much of the session. A Doji appeared at 03:30 ET, reinforcing a potential pause in momentum.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart showed a converging bearish bias, with the shorter MA pulling closer to the longer one. On the daily timeframe, the 50/100/200-day moving averages were not available for this specific pair, limiting the broader context. The MACD histogram turned negative during the late-night decline and remained weak into the close, while the RSI dropped into oversold territory (below 30) before rebounding midday, indicating potential short-term buying interest.

Bollinger Bands revealed a modest expansion in volatility during the early morning selloff, with price breaching the lower band for a brief period before returning to the midline. Notable support levels emerged around 2.100e-05, 2.085e-05, and 2.074e-05, while resistance was observed at 2.135e-05 and 2.150e-05. Fibonacci retracement levels from the key swing high (2.168e-05) to the swing low (2.074e-05) suggested critical levels at 2.128e-05 (38.2%) and 2.102e-05 (61.8%), which were partially tested but not decisively broken.

Looking ahead, the next 24 hours may see a test of key support at 2.085e-05 if sellers remain active, or a resumption of bullish momentum if buyers step in above 2.135e-05. Investors should remain cautious due to the high volatility and low conviction in trend direction.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy hinges on identifying bearish engulfing patterns, which were observed during this 24-hour period. A potential entry could have been triggered at the close of the bearish candle at 21:45 ET (2.146e-05), with a stop-loss placed above the engulfing candle's high at 2.159e-05 and a target at the 61.8% Fibonacci level at 2.102e-05. However, the strategy’s viability on FORTHBTC remains uncertain due to the unavailability of precomputed pattern data. Alternative strategies using similar patterns (e.g., Dark Cloud Cover) or volume-driven signals may yield more actionable insights for future testing.
