Structure and Momentum

Structure on the 5-minute chart showed a bearish engulfing pattern at 19:00 ET, signaling short-term bearish pressure. Price then consolidated between 3.58 and 3.61, with 3.61 acting as a psychological level. A 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at 3.605 was closely tested during this consolidation. On the RSI, values remained in neutral territory, avoiding overbought or oversold extremes, which suggests no immediate reversal signals. MACD showed a flat line, reflecting a balance between bullish and bearish momentum.

Volatility and Volume

Bollinger Bands narrowed around 02:00 ET, signaling a potential low-volatility period, before expanding again in the early morning. Price remained within the bands, indicating range-bound behavior. Volume spiked at 03:30 ET, coinciding with a 3.60 to 3.61 price rebound, suggesting some short-term buying interest. However, volume in the final 2 hours was subdued, indicating reduced conviction in either direction.

Forward-Looking Outlook

Price appears to be testing the 3.61 level for confirmation, which could be a pivot for further directional movement. A break below 3.58 may trigger a retest of the 3.55 support level, while a sustained move above 3.63 could attract more buyers. Traders should watch for divergence between price and RSI for potential reversal clues, while managing risk with tight stop-losses near the 3.57–3.58 range.
