The Vaulta/Bitcoin pair (ABTC) opened at $2.42 on November 2, 2025, at 11:00 AM ET, and reached a 24-hour high of $2.46 before trending lower and closing at $2.39 at 12:00 PM ET on November 3. The 24-hour session recorded a total volume of 116,758.9 units and a notional turnover of approximately $284.25 (at mid-candle averages). The price action showed a bearish drift, especially in the final hours, as liquidity dried up and sellers dominated the last 15-minute interval.

Over the 24-hour period, the 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart remained above the price, indicating a bearish bias. The 200-period daily MA, while not directly visible in the 15-minute data, appears to have been a key resistance level as the price drifted lower. The MACD line turned negative after 7:00 PM ET, confirming a shift in momentum, while the signal line remained neutral until the final 30 minutes.

RSI fell into the oversold territory below 30 for the first time in the 24-hour window around 4:00 AM ET and remained there through the end of the session, suggesting the pair may be due for a short-term bounce. Bollinger Bands showed a period of contraction between 10:00 PM and 1:00 AM ET, followed by expansion as volatility increased in the final 4 hours. Price remained near the lower band for most of the last 6 hours, indicating exhaustion and potential for a rebound.

Volume activity was largely subdued for the first 10 hours of the period but surged after 15:45 ET, coinciding with the price break below $2.39. This suggests increased participation from sellers during the critical breakdown. Notional turnover spiked in the 15:45–16:15 ET timeframe as ABTC touched $2.33, indicating possible panic selling or strategic exits. The price and volume relationship appears to confirm the breakdown rather than contradict it, which raises the probability of a continuation lower in the near term.

The Fibonacci retracement levels for the most recent 15-minute swing (from $2.46 to $2.23) suggest key levels at $2.36 (38.2%) and $2.29 (61.8%). The price has already tested the 38.2% level multiple times in the final hours of the session and may find temporary support there. On a daily chart, the 61.8% retracement of the recent major bearish move would sit near $2.23, which is now a critical area for further testing. While the immediate direction appears bearish, the depth of the oversold RSI and proximity to Fibonacci support levels suggest a short-covering bounce is possible.

Backtest Hypothesis
A potential backtesting strategy could leverage the RSI’s oversold conditions to open short positions. Using a 14-period RSI and an oversold threshold of 30, short entries would be triggered when RSI closes below 30. To align with the observed volume activity, the entry could be executed at the close of the candle or at the open of the next session. Exit conditions could be based on either a fixed holding period (e.g., close on the same day) or a dynamic exit when RSI re-enters the 30–70 range. Given the recent behavior of ABTC, a 1–2-day holding period with a stop-loss at 2.5% above entry appears reasonable to manage risk while capturing directional momentum.
