Fibonacci Retracements

On the daily chart, retracement levels from previous swings suggest a 61.8% level at $8.3e-07 may act as a potential resistance.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy under consideration involves identifying a breakout from a tightening Bollinger Band contraction, confirmed by a golden cross of the 20SMA and 50SMA, and entry on a retest of the breakout level with a stop-loss placed below the consolidation range. Given the recent Bollinger Band contraction and golden cross confirmation, this setup aligns with the observed technical conditions. If the strategy is applied to the 15-minute chart, the breakout level at $7.9e-07 and subsequent consolidation may present an entry opportunity. A trailing stop could be triggered by the bearish spinning top observed at $8.1e-07.
