Structure & Formations
IOTXUSDT displayed a bearish breakdown overnight, falling below the $0.0231 support zone and forming a short-lived bearish engulfing pattern. However, a bullish reversal emerged in the early AM hours, marked by a strong bullish engulfing pattern from $0.02282 to $0.02295.

Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages crossed below the price overnight, indicating bearish momentum. However, the 50-period MA has now crossed above the 20-period MA in the morning, suggesting a potential short-term bullish crossover. On the daily chart, the price remains above the 50- and 100-period MAs, indicating medium-term bullish bias.
MACD & RSI
The MACD crossed into negative territory during the overnight sell-off but has since crossed back above zero, signaling a potential short-term reversal. RSI bottomed near 30, suggesting oversold conditions and possible accumulation. Momentum appears to be shifting, with positive divergence forming between price and RSI in the AM hours.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands widened significantly overnight, reflecting increased volatility. Price briefly touched the lower band at $0.02251 before rebounding. The upper band currently sits near $0.0235–0.0236, which may act as a near-term resistance level. The price is currently consolidating near the middle band, suggesting a period of consolidation after the recent volatility.
Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked during the overnight sell-off, with a large candle at $0.02282–0.02289 confirming the support level. A second volume spike occurred in the early AM hours as price rebounded, suggesting renewed buying interest. Notional turnover increased in line with volume, with no significant divergence between price and turnover observed.
Fibonacci Retracements
Key Fibonacci levels from the overnight swing low at $0.02251 to the morning high at $0.02359 include 38.2% at $0.0232 and 61.8% at $0.02348. The price has tested the 38.2% level multiple times and appears to be consolidating near that area. A break above $0.02348 could target $0.0236–0.0237, while a retest of $0.0230–0.0231 remains a key support watchpoint.
IOTXUSDT may find direction in the next 24 hours based on whether it can break above $0.02348 or retest $0.0230–0.0231. While the bullish engulfing pattern and oversold RSI suggest short-term buying interest, traders should remain cautious of potential volatility and volume divergence.
