Backtest Hypothesis

A proposed backtest strategy hinges on MACD-based signals, particularly Golden Cross events, with a 3-day holding period. While specific MACD data for IQUSDT could not be retrieved in this analysis due to symbol recognition issues, the recent price action aligns with conditions that could generate a Golden Cross—especially if the MACD line crosses above the signal line in the next 24 hours. This strategy would benefit from confirmation via 20/50-period MA crossover and volume expansion. To execute this backtest, a precise ticker symbol (e.g., BINANCE: IQUSDT) is required to ensure data accuracy.
