The 15-minute OHLCV data reveals a choppy and range-bound price action over the past 24 hours, with no clear trend formation. Key support levels emerged around $0.0000393–$0.0000396, while resistance clustered at $0.0000401–$0.0000406. Notably, a Bullish Engulfing pattern briefly appeared in the early hours but failed to trigger a sustained bullish breakout. The formation was confirmed at 08:30–08:45 ET, where the close was higher than the prior candle’s open and high, indicating a potential reversal. However, this was quickly followed by a consolidation phase, suggesting limited conviction in the reversal attempt.

The 20-period and 50-period Simple Moving Averages on the 15-minute chart show the price hovering near the 50SMA, indicating a neutral to slightly bearish bias in the short term. Intraday momentum, as reflected in the MACD, remained in the neutral zone without crossing the signal line, signaling a lack of directional energy. RSI fluctuated between 42 and 55, staying below overbought territory and hovering near the center, further reinforcing the sideways bias.

Bollinger Bands revealed a modest expansion during the day, particularly from 07:00 ET onward, suggesting increased short-term volatility. The price spent much of the day within the bands, with occasional touches to the upper and lower boundaries but no strong breakouts. Volatility compressed slightly overnight, indicating a lull in trading activity. Fibonacci retracement levels drawn between the day’s high and low showed that the 61.8% level at $0.0000396 acted as a key pivot point, with the price bouncing from this level multiple times.

A volume and turnover analysis showed two distinct spikes during the session—first at 11:45 ET (midday) and again at 15:45 ET—with both events failing to lead to a significant price move. This suggests that while there was increased activity, it did not result in a directional breakout, possibly due to a lack of consensus among market participants. Turnover also showed a divergence with the price action in the early hours, with higher turnover not translating into a higher close, hinting at possible profit-taking or mixed positioning.

The Backtest Hypothesis is grounded in identifying and acting on Bullish Engulfing patterns, which appeared in the data at 08:30–08:45 ET. This candle formed after a prior bearish trend and had a close that fully engulfed the previous candle’s body, indicating a potential short-term reversal. Given the pattern’s appearance, a 3-day holding backtest would evaluate its predictive power from 2022-01-01 to 2025-10-13, assuming confirmation through volume and RSI divergence. Once the correct ticker (e.g., ARB-USD, BTC-USD, or ARBTC on a specific exchange) is confirmed, this pattern can be systematically tested for profitability.
