Momentum and Overbought/Oversold Conditions

The RSI trended downward throughout the 24 hours, dropping below 30 in the final hours, signaling oversold conditions. The MACD line turned negative and remained below the signal line, confirming bearish momentum. While these levels can sometimes hint at short-term bounces, price remains vulnerable to further decline without confirmation of a reversal.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly between 14:45 ET and 17:00 ET as price dropped from 0.6749 to 0.6575, with the 20-period Bollinger Bands widening. Price closed near the lower band, suggesting continued bearish pressure and a potential setup for consolidation or a rebound from the 0.6555–0.6575 range.

Volume and Turnover Divergences

Volume surged to 556,484.8 at 14:45 ET but failed to support a meaningful bounce, indicating bearish exhaustion. Turnover mirrored volume closely, with a large block of 305,769.73 in the final 15 minutes, pointing to possible large-scale liquidation or strategic selling.

Forward-Looking Perspective

Price appears to have found a near-term floor in the 0.6555–0.6575 range, but buyers must show strength to push above 0.6644 to signal a potential recovery. A break below 0.6555 could trigger renewed bearish momentum toward 0.6505. Investors should closely monitor volume for confirmation of any short-term bounce.
