The 24-hour period for Theta Fuel/Bitcoin (TFUELBTC) saw the price open at 2.3e-07 on October 26 at 12:00 ET, reaching a high of 2.4e-07 before settling at 2.2e-07 as of 12:00 ET on October 27.

The price action was largely sideways, with no clear trend forming on the 15-minute chart. Moving averages for the 20- and 50-periods on the 15-minute chart remained nearly flat, reflecting the lack of directional movement. The daily chart also showed no significant divergence from these averages, suggesting that the asset has not broken out of its consolidation phase. This flatness could indicate that traders are waiting for a catalyst or that market sentiment remains neutral for now.

Bollinger Bands reflected a contraction in volatility for the majority of the period, with the bands narrowing and prices hovering near the midline. The sudden drop in price at 09:45 ET caused a brief expansion in the bands, as prices moved below the lower band, indicating a short-term bearish deviation. However, this movement did not hold, and prices quickly reverted to the midline. This suggests that while there was a momentary bearish bias, it was not strong enough to initiate a sustained move lower.

Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed no significant momentum. RSI remained in the mid-range for most of the day, while MACD showed minimal histogram activity, suggesting that neither bullish nor bearish momentum was gaining traction. Notable Fibonacci retracement levels were not reached during this period, and retracement levels on recent swings were not tested by the price. The volume profile showed a spike during the downward move at 09:45 ET, but overall volume remained low, indicating limited conviction in the price action.

Backtest Hypothesis

Given the lack of directional momentum and the limited impact of the downward move seen at 09:45 ET, a backtest based on detecting Bearish Engulfing patterns could provide insight into the behavior of TFUELBTC during such events. The Bearish Engulfing pattern typically signals a potential reversal from an uptrend to a downtrend, making it a useful tool for identifying short-term entry points. However, due to an internal error in the pattern-detection service, we require clarification on the correct symbol format or a manual backtest based on raw OHLC data. Using the correct symbol format, such as “BINANCE:TFUELBTC” or “TFUEL_BTC”, would allow us to proceed with an automated scan. Alternatively, a manual scan from historical candlestick data could be used to identify and validate potential Bearish Engulfing signals since 2022. This would ensure a reliable basis for the backtest without relying on external API limitations.
