• Volume remained nearly flat for most of the session, with a brief spike at 12:00 ET

The JSTBTC pair opened at 3e-07 at 12:00 ET–1 and closed at 2.9e-07 at 12:00 ET, with a high of 3e-07 and a low of 2.9e-07. Price action remained range-bound with negligible movement for most of the session. Total volume across the 24-hour period was approximately 151,416.0, with a turnover of around $0.0449 (notional value based on Bitcoin price assumptions not provided). The lack of directional bias suggests a period of consolidation or indecision in the market.

Structurally, the price remained within a narrow range of 2.9e-07 to 3e-07, indicating a lack of clear support or resistance in this zone. No significant candlestick patterns emerged, as nearly all candles were either doji-like or had minimal range. The absence of bullish or bearish engulfing patterns or hammers suggests no immediate reversal signals. However, the formation of a small downward move at the close hints at a possible short-term pullback, though confirmation over subsequent candles is needed.

Moving Averages on the 15-minute chart showed no divergence from the current price, as the 20-period and 50-period EMAs remained flat. This suggests the market has yet to establish any clear short-term trend. On the daily chart, the 50, 100, and 200-period SMAs are likely overlapping or near the current price, reinforcing the idea of a sideways bias. No clear crossover signals were observed, and the price is trading within a tight range relative to its own historical moving averages.

The RSI on the 15-minute chart hovered near the 50 level, indicating a neutral sentiment with no overbought or oversold readings. MACD remained flat with no clear histogram divergence, aligning with the lack of momentum. Bollinger Bands remained compressed, with the price staying near the middle band—suggesting a low-volatility environment. No major Fibonacci retracement levels from recent swings appeared to be active, and the price showed no signs of rejecting or confirming these levels.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtesting strategy in question involves a breakout approach that triggers long entries when price closes above the upper Bollinger Band on a 15-minute chart and short entries when it closes below the lower band. Given the current compressed Bollinger Bands and the lack of price rejection or breakout, the strategy would likely remain inactive. The strategy could be tested on historical data from earlier periods of higher volatility to assess its robustness. However, in today’s low-volatility context, the strategy may generate false signals or whipsaw trades. A refinement could include a volume filter or RSI divergence confirmation to improve signal accuracy in range-bound markets.
