Dusk/Bitcoin (DUSKBTC) opened at 4.4e-07 on 2025-10-22 at 12:00 ET, peaked at 4.4e-07, and closed at 4.3e-07 by 12:00 ET on 2025-10-23. The pair traded within a narrow range, with total volume amounting to 333,669.0 units and notional turnover reflecting minimal trading activity.

Over the 24-hour window, price action remained flat, with only brief fluctuations breaking the 4.3e-07 level. A bearish move in the 21:15 ET–21:45 ET window saw price dip to 4.2e-07, triggering small-volume reactions that failed to sustain any directional bias. The 15-minute candles showed limited formation variety, with most resembling doji or spinning tops, suggesting indecision among traders. Key resistance appears to be near 4.4e-07, where price briefly tested but failed to close above.

Bollinger Bands remained contracted throughout, with price staying within a narrow channel, indicating low volatility. MACD remained flat, with no clear divergence from price, while RSI hovered near the 50 mark—neither overbought nor oversold. On the 20-period 15-min moving average, price oscillated slightly but remained below the 50-period line, indicating no clear bullish momentum. Fibonacci retracement levels from the minor swing at 4.2e-07 to 4.4e-07 suggest potential consolidation may continue in the 4.3e-07 zone, with 38.2% and 61.8% levels at 4.3e-07 and 4.3e-07 respectively.

The current low-activity profile suggests traders are likely waiting for a catalyst—whether a larger market event or a breakout attempt from the 4.3e-07 level. Price could test this level again in the next 24 hours, particularly if volume picks up, but the lack of clear directional bias implies any move may be short-lived unless accompanied by a significant increase in turnover.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the flat price behavior and lack of clear resistance tests over the last 24 hours, defining a “resistance level” for DUSK-BTC remains challenging. A practical starting point would be to define resistance as a price that closes above the 20-period high or above a horizontal level formed by the previous 50 highs. This would allow for the generation of a time-based event series (e.g., 2025-10-22 18:00 ET, when price briefly tested 4.4e-07). With a rule-based definition in place, a backtest could evaluate the performance of a buy/sell strategy triggered by such resistance breaks. Alternatively, if a list of key resistance dates is already known, it can be directly integrated into a backtest engine without needing to compute the indicator in real-time. Could you confirm which approach you prefer, or provide a specific definition for “resistance level”?
