The 15-minute chart reveals a sharp bearish reversal in mid-ET hours, followed by consolidation and a late ET bullish breakout. Key support levels at 481,597 RON and 482,102 RON were tested multiple times, while resistance emerged at 486,003 RON and 486,844 RON.

Moving Averages and Trend Direction

BTCRON closed below the 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart, indicating bearish short-term momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA remains above the 100-period and 200-period MAs, suggesting a mixed trend. The price closed above the 50-period MA but below the 100-period MA, hinting at a potential trend shift.

Momentum Indicators: MACD and RSI

The MACD on the 15-minute chart turned negative after a mid-day selloff, with the signal line crossing above and indicating a bearish momentum shift. RSI dropped below 30 in the afternoon, suggesting oversold conditions. However, the price failed to close above the 484,369 RON level, indicating weak buying pressure. The RSI remains in a range-bound pattern, reflecting a lack of clear directional bias.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed a tightening in the early ET hours, followed by a sharp expansion during the mid-day selloff. The price broke below the lower band and remained within the band width for most of the session. The late ET bullish move brought the price near the upper band, suggesting a potential breakout but not yet a definitive trend reversal. Volatility appears to be increasing ahead of potential directional moves.

Volume and Turnover Dynamics

Volume spiked during the mid-day selloff but declined sharply after the 482,102 RON support was tested. Notional turnover followed a similar pattern, with a divergence observed between price and turnover during the final hour of the 24-hour period. This divergence suggests potential weakness in the bullish move and may indicate a continuation of bearish pressure.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the 24-hour high-low range (492,142 RON to 478,625 RON), the 38.2% level is at 485,239 RON, and the 61.8% level is at 482,847 RON. The 50% level sits at 485,383 RON. BTCRON tested the 61.8% level during the late ET rebound and may face resistance at the 38.2% level in the next 24 hours.

Backtest Hypothesis

The proposed backtest strategy focuses on a breakout-based approach using the 15-minute chart. It triggers a long position when the price closes above the upper Bollinger Band and a short position when it closes below the lower band. Stop-loss is set at 1.5% of the entry price, and take-profit is at 3.5%. Given BTCRON’s volatility and range-bound behavior observed today, this strategy would have triggered a short signal at 478,625 RON and a long signal near 486,743 RON. While the long entry was not confirmed today, the strategy’s reliance on volatility expansion aligns well with the observed Bollinger Band expansion and price behavior.
