Structure & Formations

Bollinger Bands widened during the 1.402 high and have since tightened, indicating reduced volatility.

Volume spiked during the 1.402–1.442 high (1.9M TRY) but dropped sharply during the sell-off. Notional turnover diverged from price action after 05:00 ET. Signaling potential exhaustion in the bearish move.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 5-minute chart, price retraced 61.8% of the 1.31–1.442 move around 1.37 and then continued lower. Daily Fibonacci levels now show 1.25 as the 38.2% retracement level, a potential pivot for near-term buyers.

In the next 24 hours, price may test 1.25 as a critical support, with a possible bounce or retest of 1.30 if buyers strengthen. Investors should watch for divergence in volume and momentum indicators for early signs of reversal.
