Structure and formations on the 15-minute chart revealed a strong breakout from a descending channel that had been in place since 475,149 RON. Key support levels at 475,149 RON and 470,403 RON held through early trading before the price reversed higher. Notable patterns included a Bullish Engulfing at 19:30 ET (477,245 RON to 477,893 RON), a Bullish Breakaway Pattern at 04:00 ET (476,556 RON to 481,398 RON), and a Hammer at 00:30 ET (473,128 RON to 470,403 RON). These formations suggest a shift in sentiment from bearish to bullish, with buyers stepping in decisively above key psychological levels.

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart both rose in tandem with the price, indicating strong alignment of short-term and medium-term momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA crossed above the 100-period MA, forming a potential “Golden Cross.” The 200-period MA remains significantly lower, suggesting the pair is in a clear bullish phase. The MACD histogram showed a strong positive divergence during the breakout phase, confirming the strength of the move. RSI reached overbought levels at 74, but the continued volume flow suggests the rally may extend further before a correction forms.

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the breakout phase, indicating heightened volatility and a strong directional bias. Price remained near the upper band for much of the session, reinforcing the bullish trend. Fibonacci retracements from the 470,403 RON to 486,992 RON swing identified key levels at 478,202 RON (23.6%), 481,398 RON (38.2%), and 484,888 RON (50%). The 50% level coincided with the close, suggesting this could be a short-term consolidation target.

Backtest Hypothesis

To continue the analysis, a backtest strategy is proposed using the Bullish Engulfing and Bullish Harami candlestick patterns from 2022-01-01 to 2025-10-20. The system would enter a long position at the open of the engulfing or harami pattern, with an exit rule of either the next qualifying pattern or after 24 hours, whichever comes first. This approach aims to capture short-term momentum with clear time and pattern-based exits to manage risk. However, due to the ticker ambiguity with “BTCRON,” the system cannot automatically retrieve the pattern dates. To proceed, please confirm the correct ticker (e.g., “BTC-USD”, “BTCUSDT”), or provide the pattern dates manually for integration into the backtest. This strategy could be a valuable addition to the technical insights generated from the above analysis.
