The price action exhibited a bullish bias, with a late-night rally breaking above a key resistance at $543.0.

The price is currently above its 20- and 50-period moving averages, suggesting short-term bullish momentum.

The MACD line crossed above the signal line during the evening, confirming the bullish trend, while RSI touched 68–69, nearing overbought conditions. This suggests the pair may face some near-term resistance between $545.0–547.5. Bollinger Bands contracted around 00:00–02:00 ET before expanding during the rally, indicating a potential breakout phase. Volume and turnover spiked in the 00:30–01:30 ET window, aligning with the price move, and no significant divergence was observed between price and turnover.

Fibonacci retracements of the recent swing from $531.3 to $546.0 suggest key levels to watch: 38.2% at $539.7, 50% at $538.7, and 61.8% at $537.6. A retest of the 38.2% level could offer a high-probability entry for longs, provided the RSI remains above 50 and the 50-period MA holds.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy described involves identifying RSI overbought signals as potential sell triggers. Given that RSI neared 70 in the late-night session but did not break through, the strategy may benefit from a more refined entry condition—such as a volume-weighted confirmation or a closing candle above a key moving average. Without a validated price series, the engine cannot execute the full backtest. A recommended path forward would be to either confirm a valid ticker (e.g., BINANCE:BCHUSDT) or provide a custom price file to enable the full evaluation of this RSI-based system. Alternatively, an event backtest could assess average post-signal drift, offering a lightweight alternative.
