Looking at the 15-minute chart, ASTRBTC has been largely range-bound. Key support levels appear to be forming around 1.4e-07 and 1.5e-07, while resistance remains at 1.6e-07. A small bearish divergence was observed during the early hours as volume increased but price failed to move past 1.5e-07, suggesting potential exhaustion. No significant candlestick patterns like hammers or engulfing patterns have emerged, and doji candles have been rare. This indicates traders are currently uncertain about the pair’s direction, likely waiting for a catalyst.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages are close to the current price, both hovering near 1.5e-07. While the 20-period MA shows a slight bearish bias, the 50-period MA remains neutral. On the daily chart, the 50, 100, and 200-period MAs are aligned and flat, suggesting a neutral bias in the longer term. The price remains within a tight channel, and a break above or below the 1.5e-07 level could signal a new direction.

Bollinger Bands have shown minimal volatility with a narrow contraction around the 1.5e-07 level. Price has been hovering near the middle band, with no clear breakouts observed. MACD lines are flat, with a small bearish divergence appearing in the morning hours. The RSI remains around 50, indicating no extreme momentum. A break above 60 could signal a short-term bullish trend, while a drop below 40 might indicate bearish pressure.

Total volume traded has shown some spikes, particularly during the late-night and early morning hours. These spikes occurred during price attempts to break above 1.5e-07 and 1.6e-07 but failed to sustain. Notional turnover remained relatively stable, with no significant divergences observed. This suggests that while activity increased, it has not led to directional movement. The absence of confirmation from price action suggests caution may be warranted.

Fibonacci retracement levels applied to recent 15-minute swings indicate a key support at 1.4e-07 and a potential resistance at 1.6e-07. The 38.2% and 61.8% retracement levels correspond closely to the current range-bound activity. Price has tested these levels multiple times without breaking through, indicating they are currently acting as strong barriers.

Backtest Hypothesis
To evaluate Bitcoin’s behavior after it encounters a defined resistance level, a backtest using a 60-day rolling high as the resistance proxy has been proposed. This is a common and effective short-term resistance indicator. If confirmed, the backtest will analyze historical price movements following Bitcoin’s close above these levels from 2022-01-01 to today. The results will help quantify the typical post-breakout return, optimal holding period, and risk exposure to draw meaningful trading insights.
