BNB 4H Volume-Confirmed Breakout Long

Hypothesis

A long-only breakout strategy on BNBUSDT perpetual futures using 4-hour bars. The strategy enters long when price closes above the highest high of the prior N bars (Donchian-style breakout) AND the breakout bar's volume exceeds 1.5x the rolling average volume — a simple volume-confirmation filter to avoid false breakouts on thin liquidity. BNB exhibits distinctive volume-driven momentum cycles tied to Binance ecosystem catalysts (token burns, IEO/Launchpool launches, BNB Chain narrative pumps), and breakouts on elevated volume historically have higher follow-through than headline-only moves. Holding period is days, not minutes, so per-trade returns easily clear the 0.10% round-trip fee on USD-M futures. Single instrument, single timeframe, OHLCV-only — no supplementary data dependencies that have caused repeated verification timeouts in prior hypotheses.
