Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart shows a notable bearish engulfing pattern forming around the 480,000.0 level, suggesting rejection of key resistance. A doji formed near 476,969.0, indicating indecision before a sharp downward leg. Key support is now clustering around 475,000.0, with a potential test of 474,000.0 looming. The intraday bearish reversal at 480,230.0 suggests strong pressure below the 477,000.0 level in the next 24 hours.

Moving Averages

Short-term moving averages (20/50) on the 15-minute chart indicate a bearish crossover, reinforcing the downward momentum. On the daily chart, BTCRON is still above the 50-period but appears to be consolidating near the 200-period. This suggests a potential test of intermediate support levels as the 200-day MA could offer a floor if the current bearish trend continues.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line turned negative mid-session, confirming bearish momentum after a brief bullish push. The RSI reached overbought territory at 480,230.0 but failed to sustain that level, showing bearish divergence. RSI is now in neutral territory, suggesting a potential pause in selling pressure but no immediate reversal.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded sharply as BTCRON approached 480,230.0, with the bands widening and price breaking the upper band. However, the asset closed near the lower band, suggesting short-term bearish continuation. A further expansion in volatility could be expected if price breaks below 475,000.0.

Volume & Turnover

The most significant volume spike occurred during the upward leg toward 480,230.0, but the following bearish reversal lacked volume confirmation, suggesting a possible short-covering move. Turnover remained moderate, with no clear divergence between price and volume. However, the bearish move after the high saw relatively low volume, which may indicate a lack of conviction among sellers.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the swing from 473,541.0 to 480,230.0, BTCRON is currently near the 61.8% level (~476,000.0), a key potential resistance-turned-support zone. A break below the 38.2% level (~475,500.0) could open the door to a test of the 50% level (~474,900.0), which may provide temporary support ahead of the 474,000.0 level.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy proposed relies on identifying key Fibonacci retracement levels and confirming them with candlestick patterns and volume. If a bearish engulfing pattern forms at a key Fibonacci level and is confirmed by a bearish volume spike, a short entry could be triggered. BTCRON’s recent bearish engulfing pattern near 480,230.0 aligns well with this hypothesis. However, a lack of follow-through volume and price divergence in RSI suggest that while the pattern is valid, its impact may be short-lived. A successful backtest would require tighter volume confirmation and stronger momentum signals to filter out false signals.
