Summary
• PENDLEBTC consolidates near 2.674e-05 after a sharp sell-off and limited rebound.

• RSI and MACD show weak momentum, suggesting continued pressure to the downside.
The 24-hour candle for Pendle/Bitcoin (PENDLEBTC) opened at 2.671e-05 and closed at 2.674e-05, with an intra-day high of 2.791e-05 and a low of 2.659e-05. Total volume was 18,653.7, while turnover amounted to 5.15 BTC. The pair appears to be in a state of consolidation after a short-term bearish correction from a brief recovery above 2.7e-05.
On the 15-minute chart, the price remains below its 20 and 50-period SMAs, indicating short-term bearish bias. The 50-period EMA crossed below the 20-period EMA earlier in the day, confirming a bearish crossover. Daily moving averages are not currently available for this pair in the dataset, but the price has not tested its 200-day SMA in recent days. A breakdown below 2.65e-05 could trigger renewed short-term volatility.
The RSI stands at 48, slightly below the midpoint, and has not shown signs of oversold or overbought conditions. MACD remains in negative territory with a flattening histogram, suggesting waning momentum. Volatility has expanded with a range of 0.013e-05, but Bollinger Bands show no sharp contractions, indicating ongoing price discovery rather than a breakout phase. A breakout above the upper band at 2.80e-05 could signal a reversal, but this appears unlikely in the short term.
Fibonacci retracement levels for the latest 15-minute swing suggest a key support at 2.67e-05 (61.8%) and a minor resistance at 2.69e-05 (38.2%). On the daily chart, a key support level remains near 2.65e-05, where a larger bearish pattern could play out if volume picks up. Divergences between price and volume have not been significant, but a sudden increase in turnover could hint at large institutional activity.
Looking ahead, a breakdown below the 2.65e-05 support level could open the door to lower Fibonacci levels or even a retest of the 2.64e-05 level. However, given the low volume and muted momentum, a short-term consolidation phase appears more probable. Investors should remain cautious, as limited turnover can lead to sudden swings on thin orders.
Backtest Hypothesis
The proposed backtesting strategy is based on the identification of Bullish and Bearish Engulfing candlestick patterns. If confirmed, the approach would involve entering a long position at the next day’s open (T+1) following a Bullish Engulfing pattern and exiting at the next day’s close or upon the appearance of a Bearish Engulfing pattern, whichever occurs first. This method relies on the price action’s ability to reverse direction based on these patterns. Given the low volume and limited price swings in the 15-minute OHLC data for PENDLEBTC, such patterns may not be frequent or strong enough to produce consistent signals. The use of closing prices for both entry and exit would align with standard backtesting conventions and ensure consistency in evaluating the strategy's effectiveness from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-10.
