Structure & Formations

SHELLBTC demonstrated consolidation between 1.0200 and 1.0800 μBTC, with 1.0500 and 1.0700 acting as key support and resistance respectively. A minor bearish reversal pattern emerged around 1.0700 μBTC in the early hours of 11-11, while indecision was observed in the form of doji and spinning top candles near 1.0300 and 1.0500 μBTC. These formations suggest traders are testing levels ahead of a breakout.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages converged near 1.0400 μBTC, with price fluctuating between them. On the daily chart, the 50-day average is slightly above the 100- and 200-day lines, indicating a potential shift to a more neutral bias if the 1.0500 level fails to hold. Price appears to be seeking direction ahead of a potential longer-term trend resumption.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram showed slight positive divergence near 1.0500 μBTC in the early morning, followed by negative divergence as the price tested 1.0300. RSI remained between 40 and 60 for most of the session, avoiding overbought or oversold conditions. A potential long entry could be considered if MACD confirms bullish divergence and RSI breaks above 50 with rising volume.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility was relatively stable, with Bollinger Bands maintaining a moderate width. Price spent much of the session in the middle third of the bands, suggesting low conviction. A break above the upper band or below the lower band could indicate a potential breakout or breakdown scenario, though confirmation is required via volume and follow-through.

Volume & Turnover

Volume was muted until 08:15 ET, when a large sell order moved price from 1.0500 to 1.0400 μBTC. A second volume spike occurred at 13:15 ET, coinciding with a move from 1.0200 to 1.0300 μBTC. Turnover closely followed volume patterns, indicating strong order flow during key price transitions. However, volume failed to confirm bullish moves above 1.0700 μBTC, casting doubt on the strength of recent bullish momentum.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci levels derived from the 1.0200 to 1.0800 μBTC swing show the 38.2% retrace at 1.0557 and the 61.8% retrace at 1.0365. Price found support near both levels, with 1.0365 acting as a temporary floor in the early morning before drifting lower. A break below 1.0300 could target 1.0200, while a retest of 1.0500 may offer a potential entry for longs if confirmed by volume and RSI.

Backtest Hypothesis

A proposed backtesting strategy for SHELLBTC involves entering a long position each time a MACD bottom divergence is detected, holding for 15 minutes, and exiting at the close. This strategy could offer insights into short-term buying opportunities, particularly when combined with RSI neutrality or minor support levels like those near 1.0500 and 1.0300 μBTC. While the current backtest engine only supports daily data, the same-day approximation method may still provide a useful proxy by using open-close returns as exit points. Further refinement will be required once 15-minute data is supported for more accurate timing of entry and exit signals.
