Structure & Formations

Price activity revealed a key support level forming near 0.0101–0.0102, which held during two test attempts after 13:00 and 14:00 ET. A potential bullish engulfing pattern emerged briefly at 02:30 ET when the pair closed at 0.0104 after opening at 0.0103 and hitting a low of 0.0103. However, the pattern failed to follow through with a clear breakout. A small doji at 06:00 ET also signaled indecision among traders near 0.0104.

Moving Averages

On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period moving average (0.01035) and 50-period (0.01036) closely aligned, reflecting the lack of strong directional bias. On the daily chart, the 50-period (0.01042) and 200-period (0.01039) also trended closely, suggesting a continuation of range-bound trading. The 100-period moving average (0.01041) provided a slight upper boundary for the range but failed to break.

MACD & RSI

The MACD histogram remained near zero throughout, reflecting no clear momentum shifts. RSI oscillated between 45 and 55, staying neutral without entering overbought (>70) or oversold (<30) territory. The MACD crossover occurred near 04:00 and 05:00 ET, but it lacked follow-through in price action. This suggests market participants are waiting for a catalyst before committing to a direction.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed a slight contraction after 05:00 ET, narrowing to a range of 0.0102–0.0105, which is often a precursor to increased volatility. Price spent most of the session within one standard deviation, but the bands widened again after 16:00 ET, indicating rising uncertainty. The upper band at 0.0105 and lower at 0.0102 remained the key boundaries throughout the session.

Volume & Turnover

Volume peaked between 20:30 and 21:30 ET with over 1.27 million TRU traded, yet price failed to breakout above 0.0105. A notable divergence appeared after 14:00 ET when price dropped to 0.01 but turnover decreased, hinting at reduced conviction in the move lower. Turnover also dipped between 10:00 and 11:00 ET despite a modest price uptick to 0.0102, raising questions about the strength of the rally.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci levels to the recent 5-minute swing from 0.0106 (high) to 0.01 (low), the 61.8% level at 0.01035 and 38.2% at 0.01048 were key psychological levels that the price tested but failed to break decisively. A 61.8% retracement could offer a potential pivot point in the coming 24 hours if the pair tests support again.

The market appears to be consolidating in a tight range, with no clear path forward. A breakout above 0.0105 or a breakdown below 0.0101 could provide the next directional clue, but traders may remain cautious ahead of any significant volume spikes. Investors should watch for any divergence in volume or RSI to confirm the direction of the next move.
