Volume and Turnover Analysis

Volume spiked during the 08:15–09:45 ET period as price moved from 0.2387 to 0.2427, with turnover rising by 78% compared to the 5-day average. A volume divergence occurred after 09:45 ET as price consolidated despite declining turnover.

Fibonacci Retracements

Price retraced 61.8% of the 0.2346–0.2427 swing to 0.2403–0.2408, which now appears to be a key short-term support area. A break below 0.2368 could trigger a test of the 38.2% level at 0.2374.

Market participants may expect short-term consolidation as RSI overbought levels could trigger profit-taking. However, strong volume and bullish reversal patterns suggest further upward potential if 0.2414 is retested. Investors should remain cautious about volatility spikes and divergence in turnover.
