Backtest Hypothesis
A potential strategy could involve entering long positions on the close of a bullish engulfing pattern when RSI is above 50 and MACD histogram is expanding. A stop-loss could be placed below the nearest support level (0.00810) with a take-profit at the 61.8% Fibonacci level (0.00817). Backtesting this setup over the past 30 days would assess its consistency in trending conditions like those observed on 2025-10-03.
