Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement to the recent 5-minute swing from 0.0108 to 0.0102, the 61.8% level at 0.0104 appears to have acted as a key support area. On the daily chart, the price closed near the 38.2% retracement level of a larger upward move, suggesting ACAUSDT could test this level again for confirmation of further support.

The price appears to be forming a consolidation pattern within a defined channel, with the 0.0104–0.0106 range likely to remain key for the next 24 hours. A break below 0.0103 or above 0.0107 would likely trigger further directional movement. Investors should remain cautious of false breakouts and ensure stop-loss orders are in place to manage risk.
