Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period moving average was rising through the 50-period line, forming a golden cross. For daily analysis, the 50-day SMA remained above the 100 and 200-day lines, affirming the long-term bullish bias.

Fibonacci Retracements

Backtest Hypothesis
A potential backtest strategy involves identifying Bullish Engulfing patterns on 15-minute candlestick charts, such as the one at $0.1271, and using them as entry signals. Given the current data limitations for TURTLEUSDC, however, a backtest cannot be performed without confirmation of a correct ticker or manual input of pattern dates. If confirmed, a 5-day holding period could be tested for profitability from 2022-01-01 to present. A similar approach could also be applied to more liquid assets like BLSH.N or HOLD.P to validate the strategy’s robustness.
