Momentum & Volatility

MACD showed a bearish crossover with negative divergence in the second half of the day. RSI dropped into oversold territory (30–35) in the late hours, suggesting potential for a short-term rebound. Bollinger Bands widened significantly after 01:00 ET as volatility increased, with price staying well below the lower band at times.

Notable volume spikes occurred at 01:30 ET and 08:30 ET, with the latter reaching over 450,000 contracts. Turnover increased alongside price declines, providing confirmation of bearish conviction. However, divergence between price and turnover in the last few hours may suggest weakening bear momentum.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 5-minute chart, the key Fibonacci levels of 38.2% (~0.0951) and 61.8% (~0.0937) were tested multiple times. The 61.8% level appears to be holding currently. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement of the major move remains at ~0.0930, where price is consolidating.

Looking ahead, a retest of the 0.0930–0.0935 support zone is likely in the next 24 hours, with a risk of further decline if that fails. Investors should also watch for signs of a reversal near key Fibonacci and moving average levels.
