Structure & Formations

Price found key support near $543.0, where it consolidated in the early part of the session before breaking higher. A bullish engulfing pattern formed at 16:30 ET–1, signaling a shift in sentiment. A doji at 00:00 ET suggested indecision after a late-night rally. Resistance levels appear at $548.0–549.0, where price has stalled twice.

Moving Averages

Short-term momentum appears to be above both 20 and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart, suggesting a temporary bullish bias. On the daily chart, price remains above the 50 and 100-period lines but approaches the 200-period MA, which may act as a critical support in the next 24–48 hours.

MACD & RSI

The RSI fluctuated between 50 and 60 through much of the session, indicating balanced momentum. A recent divergence in RSI with higher highs and softer price action suggests caution. The MACD remained above zero with a narrowing histogram, pointing to weakening bullish momentum.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands widened after the mid-session breakout, reflecting increased volatility. Price currently sits near the upper band, suggesting overbought territory. A pullback toward the mid-band may be in play if buyers fail to defend $547.0.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged during the 04:00 ET candle with 665.333 BCH traded, confirming strength in the consolidation phase. However, price closed slightly lower than the high of that candle, indicating potential exhaustion. Notional turnover also peaked at that hour, suggesting institutional or large-cap involvement.

Fibonacci Retracements

Key retracement levels from the $543.0–549.0 swing suggest potential support at 38.2% ($546.3) and 61.8% ($547.8). Price has held above $546.3 multiple times, suggesting it may be a short-term floor. A breakdown below $546.3 could trigger a test of the 61.8% level.

Backtest Hypothesis

The provided backtesting strategy involves a mean-reversion model triggered when price closes above the 50-period MA and then retraces to the 20-period MA within 15 minutes. This setup was observed twice in the dataset—once at 16:30 ET–1 and again at 04:00 ET. Both instances saw price reverse and continue the upward move, suggesting the strategy could yield profitable short-term trades if confirmed in future 15-minute swings.
