MACD & RSI

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands tightened significantly between 04:45–09:45 ET, signaling a period of low volatility. The price then broke above the upper band during the 14:45–15:00 ET session, indicating a surge in buying pressure.

Volume & Turnover

Fibonacci Retracements

The recent 5-minute swing from 0.1280 to 0.1446 saw price retrace to the 61.8% level at 0.1340 before pushing higher. This suggests that the 0.1340 level could act as a key support in a potential pullback.

KNCUSDT appears to be in a strong short-term bullish phase driven by high volume and breakout momentum. However, RSI nearing overbought levels and signs of divergences may point to a possible consolidation or pullback in the near term. Investors should monitor volume sustainability and price action near key Fibonacci and moving average levels in the next 24 hours.
