Structure and formations revealed no bullish or bearish candlestick patterns over the 15-minute timeframe.

A cluster of doji and flat candles around the 1.11e-06 to 1.12e-06 level suggested indecision among market participants.

Moving averages (20/50) on the 15-minute chart showed no divergence from the price, as the pair remained sideways. On the daily chart, 50/100/200-day moving averages were not in a strong convergence or divergence setup, indicating a lack of directional bias. Price did not show any clear tendency to gravitate toward or away from these levels.

The RSI oscillated between 45 and 55 throughout the day, staying within neutral territory. MACD lines showed no strong bullish or bearish momentum, with the histogram reflecting minimal divergence or convergence. Bollinger Bands displayed a compressed appearance for most of the session, confirming the low volatility. Price tended to remain near the middle band, reinforcing the lack of clear directional bias.

Volume remained nearly flat for the majority of the session, with notable increases observed during a few key time periods—most notably at 20:30 ET and 07:15 ET. These spikes occurred alongside price consolidations rather than breakouts, offering mixed signals about their significance. Notional turnover followed a similar pattern, with no clear correlation to price movement in terms of magnitude or timing.

Fibonacci retracements drawn on the 15-minute range showed that price frequently tested key levels such as 1.12e-06 and 1.13e-06, but without a clear break. These levels coincided with the middle of the daily range and could serve as potential pivot points for future volatility. On the daily chart, no major retracements were observed due to the limited data window.

Looking ahead, the absence of clear trend formation and low volume suggest that the market is in a period of consolidation. Traders may want to monitor the 1.13e-06 and 1.12e-06 levels for potential breakout or breakdown activity. However, given the low volatility and lack of directional bias, any move could be short-lived. Investors are advised to remain cautious and closely watch for any divergence in volume and momentum indicators before taking a position.

The Backtest Hypothesis section aims to provide a practical way to continue testing a trading strategy based on the Bullish Engulfing pattern, even with the current limitations of the REQBTC dataset. If the pair lacks sufficient pattern data, alternative methods can be employed. One viable approach is to use a supported symbol such as REQ-USDT or REQ-USD, which has the same underlying token but is traded against a stable coin or fiat. This would provide a consistent dataset for pattern recognition. Alternatively, if the Bullish Engulfing pattern dates are already known for REQBTC, we can directly use those dates to run the back-test. Lastly, if the user prefers to stick to REQBTC, raw OHLC data can be retrieved and patterns can be detected in real-time, albeit with a slightly longer processing time.
