Arbitrum/Bitcoin (ARBBTC) opened at 2.58e-06 on 2025-11-12 at 12:00 ET and closed at 2.59e-06 on 2025-11-13 at 12:00 ET. The pair reached a high of 2.61e-06 and a low of 2.53e-06 during the 24-hour period. Total trading volume was approximately 6,057,669.8 ARB, while notional turnover reached $15,448.74 (calculated using mid-price and volume).

The 15-minute OHLCV data shows a range-bound pattern with a small bullish bias in the latter half of the session. A notable Bullish Engulfing pattern formed around 04:45 ET, with price rising from 2.59e-06 to 2.6e-06. However, the pattern was not confirmed as a breakout due to the price returning near the opening level in subsequent hours. Several Doji patterns emerged during consolidation phases, indicating indecision in market sentiment. Key support appears near 2.55e-06, with a resistance level forming at 2.6e-06.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart are closely aligned, suggesting a flat trend. The 50-period daily moving average remains above the current price, indicating a bearish bias in the longer-term trend. The MACD line crossed below the signal line, signaling bearish momentum, while the RSI remains in the neutral range (45–55), indicating no immediate overbought or oversold conditions.

Bollinger Bands show a recent narrowing in volatility from 18:00 to 22:00 ET, followed by a breakout with a moderate expansion. Price has remained within the upper and lower bands, but with a slight preference for the upper half, suggesting a potential for a bullish move. Volume spiked during the consolidation phase and again during the late afternoon and evening, indicating increased activity and possibly order flow imbalances. No notable divergence was observed between volume and price action.

Applying 38.2% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracements to the most recent 15-minute swing (from 2.53e-06 to 2.61e-06), the 38.2% level aligns with 2.576e-06 and the 61.8% level with 2.554e-06. These levels could act as short-term support/resistance zones. The daily Fibonacci retracements suggest stronger support near 2.54e-06 and resistance around 2.62e-06.

The market appears to be in a phase of consolidation with a slight bullish slant. Price may test the 2.6e-06 level in the next 24 hours if buyers step in, but a retest of the 2.55e-06 support level is a risk to watch. Investors should remain cautious and look for a clear breakout or breakdown before committing to positions.

Backtest Hypothesis
The Bullish Engulfing pattern observed around 04:45 ET, if confirmed with a close above the high of 2.6e-06, could serve as a signal for a 3-day long position. The pattern typically indicates a reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend, and a confirmation of the pattern would align with the backtest strategy. This signal would be most effective when validated by strong volume and a closing price above the engulfing candle’s high.

To proceed, a specific exchange ticker or historical pattern date list is required to extract and backtest the Bullish Engulfing signals between 2022-01-01 and the present. This will help assess the reliability and average returns of the pattern in different volatility and momentum conditions.
