Rootstock Infrastructure Framework/Bitcoin (RIFBTC) opened at 4.2e-07 at 12:00 ET−1 and closed at the same level at 12:00 ET. The 24-hour range remained unchanged at 4.2e-07. Total volume was approximately 56,905, and notional turnover came to ~$0.024. The market showed no signs of price discovery or volatility over the past 24 hours.

The structure of the candlestick pattern was flat, with no significant support or resistance levels developed. A rare bearish candle appeared at 10:30 ET, breaking the prior range briefly, but it failed to hold. No engulfing or doji patterns were observed, suggesting a lack of conviction in either buyers or sellers. The price action appeared to be range-bound with no directional bias.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart showed a flat 20-period and 50-period SMA, indicating no trend development. On the daily chart, the 50, 100, and 200-period SMAs similarly aligned flat, reinforcing the lack of a defined trend. No cross-overs or divergences were observed.

MACD remained at a neutral zero level with no histogram development, while the RSI hovered around 50, indicating no overbought or oversold conditions. The lack of momentum confirmed the sideways consolidation in the pair. Bollinger Bands were tightly compressed around the moving average, pointing to potential future volatility, though no breakout was observed.

Volume was extremely low throughout most of the day, with several hours reporting zero activity. A sharp spike of ~10,969 at 10:45 ET and another of ~56,905 at 16:30 ET coincided with minor price breaks but failed to trigger a sustained move. Notional turnover was minimal, with the largest trade contributing just ~$0.024, reinforcing the thin order book and low liquidity.

Fibonacci retracements applied to the 15-minute swing showed no meaningful levels reached, as the price remained flat. On the daily chart, the pair sits well below the 61.8% retracement level of any recent move, indicating that a bearish bias may persist if the range is broken.

The backtest hypothesis attempted to exploit oversold RSI levels as a buy signal for RIFBTC over the 2022–2025 period. Despite the low readings in the 24-hour report, historical performance showed an average trade return of –0.36% with a 43% overall loss. This suggests that oversold RSI alone was not a reliable signal in this context. The high drawdown and negative edge imply that additional filters—such as volume confirmation or a longer holding period—might be necessary to improve strategy viability.
