Manta Network/Bitcoin (MANTABTC) opened at 1.85e-06 on 2025-09-14 at 12:00 ET, reaching a high of 1.89e-06 and a low of 1.85e-06, closing at 1.89e-06 by 12:00 ET the next day. Total volume was approximately 49,728 BTC-equivalent, with turnover suggesting increased attention toward the pair.

The 24-hour period revealed a tight range-bound pattern, with price oscillating between 1.85e-06 and 1.89e-06. A bearish candle emerged at 011500 ET, forming a potential rejection at the upper boundary. The price attempted to break above 1.89e-06 twice but failed to sustain the momentum, suggesting short-term resistance may be in place.

Structure & Formations

Price action formed multiple small bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, particularly at 161500 and 231500 ET. These patterns, however, were followed by sharp reversals, indicating indecision among traders. A doji formed at 224500 ET, signaling a temporary equilibrium between buyers and sellers. Key support levels appear to be at 1.86e-06 and 1.85e-06, while resistance is forming around 1.89e-06 and potentially 1.90e-06.

Moving Averages

On a 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages closely aligned, suggesting a sideways trend with little directional bias. If price breaks above the 50-period moving average and sustains it, a short-term bullish bias may emerge. On the daily chart, the 50 and 200-period moving averages suggest a continuation of a larger bullish trend, though short-term corrections remain likely.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line remained flat, with the histogram oscillating around zero, indicating weak momentum. The RSI fluctuated between 50 and 60, reflecting neutral to slightly overbought conditions, but not extreme overbought levels. A divergence between RSI and price during the final hours may suggest the pair is approaching a turning point.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands were narrowly contracted for much of the period, with the price hovering close to the middle band. A slight expansion occurred at 231500 ET, as the price briefly reached the upper band. If this pattern continues, it may signal increased volatility and potential breakout opportunities in the near term.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked sharply at key timeframes, notably at 184500 and 013000 ET, with turnover confirming the price action. The largest single-volume candle occurred at 013000 ET with 5,688.2 BTC-equivalent traded. However, the failure to sustain the upward move indicates that buyers may lack conviction. A divergence between volume and price action—particularly during the bearish candle—may signal a weakening trend.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, key Fibonacci levels at 38.2% (1.86e-06) and 61.8% (1.89e-06) corresponded closely with observed support and resistance levels. The 61.8% level appeared to act as a strong resistance during the final hours, with price bouncing off it twice. If the next 24 hours see a break of 1.89e-06, the next potential target may be 1.91e-06. A breakdown below 1.86e-06 would suggest a short-term retest of 1.85e-06 is likely.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtest strategy involves entering a long position when price breaks above the 61.8% Fibonacci level on a 15-minute chart, confirmed by a bullish engulfing pattern and rising RSI. A stop loss is placed just below the recent swing low of 1.86e-06, with a target at 1.91e-06. Given the recent indecision, the strategy may benefit from incorporating volatility filtering, such as waiting for a breakout on increased volume, to reduce false signals.
