The RSI remained in the 50–55 range, indicating neutral momentum with no clear overbought or oversold readings. Bollinger Bands reflected a moderate volatility contraction in the first half of the session, followed by expansion as price tested the upper band between $0.018 and $0.0182.

Volume increased significantly after 9 PM ET, with a large 5-minute bar at 00:30 ET showing 368,149 units traded at $0.0181, confirming a short-lived rally. However, a sharp sell-off followed shortly after, showing a divergence in price and volume.

Fibonacci and Support/Resistance

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the most recent 5-minute swing from $0.0179 to $0.0182, key levels at 38.2% ($0.0180) and 61.8% ($0.0181) coincided with areas where price hesitated or reversed. These levels may serve as dynamic support and resistance for the next 24 hours.

Looking Ahead

Price appears poised to test $0.0182 again in the near term, with the RSI and volume suggesting increased participation. However, a breakdown below $0.0179 could trigger a retest of earlier lows. Investors should watch for a clear breakout or reversal pattern to confirm the next directional move.
