Overview and Key Levels

Lisk/Bitcoin (LSKBTC) opened the 24-hour period at 2.03e-6 on 2025-10-21 at 12:00 ET and closed at 2.00e-6 on 2025-10-22 at the same time. The pair reached a high of 2.04e-6 and a low of 1.97e-6 during the session. Total trading volume amounted to 48,940.0, while notional turnover stood at approximately 97.99 BTC equivalent. The price action shows a slight bearish bias, with support forming around 1.98e-6 and resistance at 2.02e-6, where multiple candles showed indecision and price rejection.

Moving Averages and Trend

On the 15-minute chart, LSKBTC has tested the 20-period moving average multiple times, with the 50-period line acting as a weak resistance. On a daily timeframe, the 50-period moving average is above the 200-period line, indicating a short-term bearish tilt. However, the price remains above the 100-period MA, suggesting that the longer-term trend is not yet in freefall, and a test of the 200-period MA may be in the near future.

Momentum Indicators and Overbought/Oversold Conditions

The RSI indicator is currently near 30 on the daily chart, indicating oversold conditions, while the MACD has crossed below the signal line, reinforcing bearish momentum. However, the histogram has not yet shown a significant bearish divergence, so a short-term bounce is still possible. The combination of oversold RSI and bearish MACD divergence could signal a potential reversal, but confirmation is still pending.

Bollinger Bands and Volatility

Volatility has expanded, with Bollinger Bands widening over the past 12 hours. The price has spent most of the session near or slightly below the lower band, which is a classic sign of oversold conditions. A retest of the upper band at 2.04e-6 could occur if buyers step in, but this would require a sustained increase in volume and buying pressure.

Volume and Turnover

Volume showed two significant spikes during the session: one at 18:15 ET and another at 21:30 ET, both coinciding with downward price moves. This confirms bearish pressure and suggests that selling interest was dominant during those periods. However, turnover did not rise in line with these volume spikes, indicating that trades were likely concentrated in small sizes, which may limit the depth of the sell-off.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the recent 15-minute swing from 2.04e-6 to 1.97e-6, the 38.2% level sits at 2.016e-6, while the 61.8% level is at 1.994e-6. The current price of 2.00e-6 is very close to the 61.8% retracement level, suggesting a potential area of support that could hold in the near term. A break below this level could target 1.98e-6, a key psychological level and the next support target.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy focuses on detecting the Dark Cloud Cover pattern, which typically signals a bearish reversal after an uptrend. Although the data provider was unable to return pattern-specific time-series information, the raw OHLC data shows a few instances of potential pattern formation, notably around 18:15 ET and 21:30 ET. A manual detection approach—using the provided OHLC data and applying the criteria for the Dark Cloud Cover pattern (i.e., a bullish candle followed by a bearish candle that opens above the prior close and closes below the midpoint of the previous candle)—could be used to generate backtesting signals. Once detected, the strategy would involve a 3-day short-holding trade. This approach can be implemented using the existing data, eliminating the need for external pattern-specific queries.
