Structure & Formations

The price action of GLMBTC over the last 24 hours shows a consistent bearish trend. Key support levels were tested around 1.55e-06 and 1.53e-06, with the most significant drop occurring between 18:15–18:45 ET when the pair fell from 1.61e-06 to 1.57e-06. A notable bearish engulfing pattern appears in that period, indicating strong selling pressure. While no major bullish patterns were observed, a few minor consolidation phases occurred between 20:00–21:15 ET and 03:15–04:30 ET, showing temporary balance between buyers and sellers.

The price appears to be forming a descending channel on the 15-min chart, with resistance at 1.59e-06 and support at 1.53e-06. A break below 1.53e-06 may signal further downward momentum.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, GLMBTC has been trading below both the 20-period and 50-period moving averages, indicating short-term bearish bias. The 20 MA has moved lower from ~1.60e-06 to ~1.57e-06, while the 50 MA has also declined, confirming the bearish trend.

On the daily chart, if we extrapolate the 50-period and 200-period moving averages, the price appears to be below both, suggesting a long-term bearish bias. The 50 MA is expected to be around 1.59e-06, and the 200 MA likely closer to 1.60e-06, indicating that GLMBTC has some distance to close before testing these levels.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line has been negative throughout the 24-hour period, with the signal line also in negative territory. This confirms the bearish momentum and suggests that the downward move is likely to continue unless a strong bullish reversal occurs. The histogram has been shrinking slightly in the last few hours, indicating that the selling pressure may be tapering, but not reversing.

The RSI stands at 28, which is in the oversold territory. This does not necessarily mean an immediate reversal, as the RSI can remain in oversold conditions during a strong downtrend. However, a close above 30 could signal a potential pause or consolidation. There is currently no divergence between price and RSI, meaning the bearish trend is intact.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands show a recent contraction in volatility, especially during the 21:15–02:30 ET timeframe, as the bands narrowed. This suggests that the market was consolidating before a potential breakout. However, the breakout did not occur to the upside; instead, the price moved lower, breaking the lower band and indicating a bearish breakout. The price has remained below the lower band for the majority of the day, reinforcing the bearish bias.

The current mid-band sits at approximately 1.57e-06, with the upper band at ~1.59e-06 and the lower band at ~1.55e-06. A break below the lower band could extend the downward move, while a move back into the band would suggest a possible short-term bounce.

Volume & Turnover

Trading volume was predominantly low throughout the 24-hour period, with most 15-min intervals showing zero or minimal volume. However, there were a few notable spikes: between 18:15–18:45 ET, volume surged to 1,798.0 units; later, from 21:15–22:00 ET, volume increased to ~6,940.0 units, and again at 03:45–04:15 ET with a spike of 33,884.0 units. These spikes coincided with sharp price declines, indicating that heavy selling occurred during these periods.

The notional turnover, calculated using average price, was approximately 43.40 Bitcoin over the last 24 hours. This relatively low turnover suggests limited participation from large players. A divergence between price and turnover was not observed, indicating that the bearish move was supported by consistent selling pressure.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement to the most recent bearish swing from 1.61e-06 to 1.53e-06, the 38.2% level is at 1.57e-06 and the 61.8% level is at 1.55e-06. The price currently rests near the 61.8% level, suggesting it may find support there or continue lower.

On a daily chart, applying the same method to a larger swing, the 38.2% and 61.8% retracement levels would represent critical areas for potential reversals or continuations. These levels should be watched closely in the next 24 hours for confirmation of either a bounce or further decline.

Backtest Hypothesis

A potential backtest strategy involves using the 50-period moving average as a dynamic support/resistance level and combining it with RSI for trade entries. Specifically, the strategy would look to enter long positions when the price crosses above the 50 MA and RSI moves above 30 (indicating oversold recovery), and short positions when the price crosses below the 50 MA and RSI drops below 70 (indicating overbought reversal). Given the current context, GLMBTC has been below the 50 MA and RSI in oversold territory, suggesting a short-biased setup for the next 24 hours.

The Bollinger Band breakout strategy could also be tested, where a short position is taken when the price breaks the lower band with increasing volume. In this case, the price broke below the lower band in the early evening, but volume was not exceptionally high—this suggests the strategy might benefit from additional volume filters for higher confidence.
