Moving averages on the 15-minute chart show price closing below the 20- and 50-period SMAs, reinforcing short-term bearish bias. On the daily timeframe, the 50- and 100-period SMAs are converging around 419,500, which could act as a pivot point. MACD shows bearish crossover with a negative histogram, while RSI hit overbought levels briefly before reversing downward.

Bollinger Bands expanded during the 04:00–06:00 ET window, indicating heightened volatility. Price remained near the lower band during the late evening and early morning, suggesting a consolidation phase. Volume spiked during pullbacks, particularly between 02:00 and 05:00 ET, but failed to confirm bullish momentum. Notional turnover aligned with these volume surges, especially at 419,000 and 420,000 levels. Fibonacci retracements from the 421,702.0 high show 61.8% at ~419,600, a level that saw strong rejection and could now act as resistance.

Looking ahead, Bitcoin/Zloty may test key support at 419,000 and 418,500 over the next 24 hours if bearish momentum persists. A retest of 420,500 could also occur if short-term buyers re-enter the market. Investors should remain cautious of divergences and volume patterns as signals for potential reversals.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy in question relies on a combination of MACD crossovers, RSI divergence, and volume confirmation to identify potential entry and exit points. Based on today’s data, a short-biased trade could have been triggered at the 05:45 ET bearish engulfing pattern, confirmed by RSI divergence and a surge in volume. A stop-loss might be placed near the 420,500 resistance level, with a take-profit at 418,500 or below. If applied over multiple similar candlestick setups, this strategy may filter out noise and focus on high-probability bearish breakouts, though it remains sensitive to false signals in ranging environments.
