Structure & Formations

Price action showed a strong bearish breakdown from 19.5, confirmed by a long lower wick and bearish engulfing pattern at 19.25–19.05. Key support levels appear at 19.0 and 18.5, while resistance is now tested at 19.5 and 20.0. A doji near 19.25 suggests short-term indecision.

Technical Indicators

The 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 5-minute chart both turned downward during the breakdown phase. MACD shows a bearish crossover with negative momentum, while RSI reached oversold territory at 28, signaling potential for a short-term bounce.

Bollinger Bands narrowed significantly before the breakdown, confirming a period of consolidation followed by a sharp move to the downside. Volume spiked during the breakdown at 11:45 and 12:00 ET, suggesting strong conviction in the move lower.

Volume & Turnover Analysis

The highest volume candle was at 12:00 ET with 13,681 DCR traded, coinciding with the price drop to 19.05. Turnover for that candle was $257,411.17, indicating heavy selling pressure. Volume and turnover diverged slightly during the afternoon, with price continuing lower while volume declined, suggesting fading bearish momentum.

Fibonacci levels from the 20.27–18.32 swing show 61.8% at 18.66 and 38.2% at 19.46. A rebound from 19.0 would be seen as a test of the 38.2% level.

Price may attempt a short-term recovery in the next 24 hours amid oversold RSI and weak bearish momentum, but the breakdown below key support at 19.5 suggests further downside risk is likely. Investors should closely watch for a reversal near 19.0 or a breakdown below 18.5.
