Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the 08:45–12:45 ET period, with price reaching the upper band at 13:15 ET. A contraction in band width occurred overnight, suggesting a possible reversal at 0.2231–0.2241.

Volume & Turnover

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci levels for the 0.2231–0.2300 swing showed 0.2273 as the 61.8% level, where price found resistance before consolidating. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retest at 0.2268 was briefly rejected, suggesting continued bullish potential from that level.

Looking ahead, FTRY may test the 0.2273–0.2285 resistance zone if bullish momentum continues. However, traders should be cautious of potential divergence in RSI and a possible pullback to 0.2250–0.2265. Volatility remains elevated, and sudden reversals could occur if key support or resistance levels fail.
