Is it possible to backtest dollar cost averging (DCA) and/or portfolio rebalancing strategies (for crypto currencies)?

Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to run backtesting scenarios (specific examples below) that allow for recurring investments and perhaps even for several crypto currencies at the same time?
In addition, I was wondering if a backtest could be set up in a way that a portfolio is rebalanced daily (or weekly), e.g. for a simple 80/20% split portfolio consisting of ETH/USD.

Below are a few examples for which I would like to try backtesting:

...regarding DCA only:

1. what day of the week is best to invest in regularly (🠔 pick the best day as your benchmark for DCA and compare the results with the additional backtesting scenarios below)
2. how do certain combinations of coins perform

... for rebalancing only:

1. what's the return when using an 80/20 split portfolio with ETH/USD (daily rebalancing)
2. what's the return when using an 80/20 split portfolio with ETH/USD (weekly rebalancing)
3. what would be the return when rebalancing a 40/40/20 BTC/ETH/USD portfolio (daily)
4. what would be the return when rebalancing a 40/40/20 BTC/ETH/USD portfolio (weekly)

... and for combining DCA + rebalancing:

1. what's the return when adding daily rebalance to an 80/20 split ETH/USD portfolio that gets new funds every week through DCA
2. what's the return when adding weekly rebalance to an 80/20 split ETH/USD portfolio that gets new funds every week through DCA
3. what's the return when adding daily rebalance to an 40/40/20 split BTC/ETH/USD portfolio that gets new funds every week through DCA
4. what's the return when adding weekly rebalance to an 40/40/20 split BTC/ETH/USD portfolio that gets new funds every week through DCA

etc.
