At 12:00 ET-1, Astar/Bitcoin (ASTRBTC) opened at 2e-07, reaching a high of 2.1e-07 and a low of 2e-07 before closing at 2e-07 at 12:00 ET.

Over the past 24 hours, Astar/Bitcoin (ASTRBTC) displayed a lack of directional movement. Candles clustered tightly between 2e-07 and 2.1e-07 with no significant bullish or bearish formations. A potential small-volume breakout occurred briefly at 2.1e-07, but price quickly reverted to the range. This consolidation suggests a lack of conviction from traders, with no decisive attempt to break out of the defined support and resistance levels.

Bollinger Bands remained constricted, reflecting low volatility throughout the period. Price stayed within the inner band for most of the session, and no clear expansion was observed that would indicate a potential breakout. The absence of volatility expansion suggests continued market indecision.

MACD showed no momentum development, with both lines and the histogram remaining flat. The RSI hovered near the midline, indicating no overbought or oversold conditions. These indicators together confirm the lack of directional bias and reinforce the view that Astar/Bitcoin is in a neutral, low-activity phase.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart suggest a flat trend, with the 20-period and 50-period lines nearly overlapping. The 50-period MA on the daily chart also remained stable, supporting the idea of range-bound behavior. No clear cross above or below key moving averages occurred to signal a potential trend reversal.

Fibonacci retracement levels were applied to the most recent 15-minute swing, but no clear action at key levels (38.2% or 61.8%) occurred. This further supports the view that the market lacks clear directional intent and remains in a consolidation phase.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy involves entering long positions on Astar/Bitcoin when price breaks above the 20-period moving average on the 15-minute chart, combined with a bullish MACD crossover and a RSI above 50. Short positions are triggered on a break below the 20-period MA, a bearish MACD crossover, and RSI below 50. Stops are placed at the nearest Fibonacci retracement level from the recent swing. Given today’s flat MACD, flat RSI, and absence of a clear MA cross, the strategy would have generated no signals. A successful implementation would rely on clearer momentum signals and directional bias in the next 24 hours.
