Hypothesis

Long-only ADA-USDT 4H strategy that enters when bar-shape geometry signals seller exhaustion (hammer-like bar with large lower wick and small bullish body) after a short-term pullback inside a confirmed long-term uptrend. The lower-wick fraction acts as an OHLCV-derivable proxy for taker absorption — sellers push intra-bar lows but buyers reclaim by close, indicating supply has been absorbed. Filtered by 200-SMA uptrend so we never fade a downtrend, and by a modest volume floor so we ignore low-conviction wicks. Distinct from prior ADA 4H strategies: not a classical indicator (RSI/MACD/SAR/Heikin-Ashi/Aroon/Keltner all failed), not a volume z-score reversion (already in pipeline as ADAVolumeSpikeMeanReversionLong), and not a Donchian/breakout. The mechanism is bar-geometry-based and has no overlap with prior pipeline entries.

Backtest and paper results are hypothetical. Trading involves risk of loss.
