The 15-minute chart reveals a relatively flat price profile with several failed attempts to retest previous highs. Notable patterns include a bullish engulfing formation near $0.000916 and a bearish doji at $0.000923, indicating indecision. Support levels appear to have emerged at $0.000905–0.000908 and $0.000910–0.000914, with resistance forming at $0.000924 and $0.000927.

Bollinger Bands show a slight contraction in the latter half of the 24-hour period, suggesting a potential resumption of directional movement. Price has spent much of the session trading within the upper and lower bands but has not shown a breakout attempt. A 20-period moving average (20SMA) at $0.000919 and a 50SMA at $0.000922 suggest that the short-term trend remains neutral.

MACD lines hovered near the zero line with no strong signal, indicating balanced bullish and bearish momentum. RSI remains within the 40–55 range, suggesting neither overbought nor oversold conditions. A 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.000919 and a 61.8% level at $0.000925 appear to act as psychological barriers to further upside. In the next 24 hours, a breakout above $0.000925 could signal renewed bullish momentum, but a close below $0.000905 may test the depth of the current support level.

The backtesting strategy leverages a combination of the 20SMA and 50SMA crossovers on the 15-minute chart to identify potential trend entry points. A long signal is triggered when the 20SMA crosses above the 50SMA and confirmed by a bullish engulfing pattern. A short signal is generated when the 20SMA crosses below the 50SMA and is confirmed by a bearish doji or a rejection at a Fibonacci retracement level.

The strategy also includes a trailing stop-loss mechanism based on the 20-period Bollinger Band width, adjusting the stop dynamically to volatility. This allows for tighter stops during low volatility and more flexible stops during breakouts. A take-profit level is set at either the 1.618 or 2.618 Fibonacci extension, depending on the strength of the move.

The hypothesis is that the combination of moving average crossovers, candlestick confirmation, and Fibonacci levels will provide a high probability of capturing short-term directional moves in a range-bound environment. The strategy is expected to perform best during breakout scenarios, particularly in periods where volatility begins to expand after a period of consolidation.
