Bitcoin/Romanian Leu (BTCRON) opened at 472,445 on October 22, 2025 at 12:00 ET and closed at 479,128 at 12:00 ET on October 23, 2025. The 24-hour high was 480,703, while the low reached 465,127. Total volume for the period was 0.11381 BTC, and total turnover was approximately 44.53 million RON.

The price structure shows a clear bearish decline early in the window, forming a deep bearish candle from 472,445 to 466,345. This was followed by a sharp rebound from the 469,724 support level, with a series of higher closes and a final surge to the session high of 480,703. This suggests a potential reversal of the short-term bearish bias. A key support level at 469,724 and resistance at 479,128 were confirmed by price action, with the latter now acting as a pivot point for near-term direction. Notable patterns include a bearish engulfing candle at 16:00 and a bullish harami near the session close.

Structure & Formations

The 24-hour candlestick pattern for BTCRON reveals a complex bearish reversal early in the session, followed by a strong bullish rebound. A bearish engulfing candle formed at 16:00 ET as BTCRON dropped from 473,759 to 472,088. This was followed by a series of lower highs and lower lows until the 21:45 candle, which saw a significant drop to 466,345. This marked a potential support zone, which was then tested and respected at 469,724. From 00:15 ET on the 23rd, the price rebounded in a clear bullish fashion, forming a bullish harami and a higher low pattern. These formations suggest a potential shift in sentiment, with buyers stepping in after a strong bearish sell-off.

Support / Resistance Levels

Key support levels during the 24-hour window include 469,724 (tested twice) and 470,969 (tested once). Resistance levels were formed at 479,128 (current pivot) and 480,703 (session high). The 469,724 level appears to be a critical psychological barrier, and if BTCRON were to break below this again, it may open the door for further bearish movement. Conversely, a sustained close above 479,128 could confirm a new upward trend.

Candlestick Patterns

The bearish engulfing candle at 16:00 ET and the bullish harami at 00:15 ET are the most notable patterns. The bearish engulfing candle marked a clear continuation of the bearish trend, while the harami signaled a pause and potential reversal. These patterns, combined with the support and resistance levels, suggest a period of consolidation followed by renewed bullish momentum.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, BTCRON closed above the 20-period and 50-period moving averages, suggesting short-term bullish momentum. The 20SMA was at approximately 474,000, while the 50SMA was at 473,800. On the daily chart, the 50-period and 200-period moving averages were both below the close, indicating the price is currently above these long-term trend lines. This suggests the market is in a short-term bull phase, though the longer-term bias remains neutral to bearish.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed below the signal line early in the 24-hour window, forming a death cross that confirmed bearish momentum during the decline. However, as the price rebounded, the MACD line crossed back above the signal line, indicating a potential shift in momentum. RSI values remained in the oversold territory (below 30) during the decline, but rose sharply to above 50 after the rebound. This suggests the market may be entering a period of equilibrium or even bullish bias in the short term.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed a contraction in the final hours of the 24-hour window, with the price consolidating within a narrow range. The upper band reached 480,000, while the lower band hovered near 469,724. This contraction suggests a potential breakout or reversal scenario. If BTCRON breaks above 479,128, it may expand the bands once more, signaling a bullish continuation.

Volume & Turnover

Volume was generally low early in the window, with the heaviest trading occurring around the 469,724 support level. The most notable spike occurred at 21:45 ET, where a volume of 0.01587 BTC confirmed the price drop to 466,345. This was followed by increased volume during the rebound, especially between 00:15 and 05:30 ET on the 23rd. Turnover mirrored this pattern, with the largest notional value being transacted during the rebound phase. However, there were divergences in the final hours, with lower volume despite higher prices, suggesting a potential exhaustion phase for the bullish move.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the 24-hour window, key levels include 470,969 (38.2%), 473,707 (50%), and 476,556 (61.8%). BTCRON bounced off the 470,969 level and pushed higher, suggesting buyers were active at these retracement levels. A further retest of 476,556 could confirm a stronger bullish bias, but a break below 470,969 would likely reignite bearish sentiment.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy described applies a daily MACD (12, 26, 9) crossover system, with short entries triggered on Death Crosses and a 7-day holding rule. While the provided data is for BTCRON, the backtest used BTCUSDT due to data constraints. The 24-hour data for BTCRON does include a MACD death cross in early evening hours, which could theoretically trigger a short signal under the strategy. However, the subsequent bullish rebound suggests the signal may have been short-lived. A longer time frame and additional filters (e.g., stop-loss levels or RSI thresholds) could improve the strategy’s robustness, especially in volatile assets like BTCRON.
