Moving Averages
The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 5-minute chart both trended downward, indicating a bearish bias. On the daily chart, price remains below all key moving averages (50, 100, 200), suggesting a continuation of the broader downtrend.
Momentum Indicators
RSI dipped into oversold territory multiple times, with the lowest reading at 0.0245. However, the failure to rebound above 0.0251 suggests weakening buying interest. MACD turned negative in the afternoon and remained below its signal line, reinforcing bearish momentum.
Volatility and Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands contracted between 00:00 and 03:00 ET, followed by a sharp expansion as price broke below the lower band. Price remained below the 20-period MA for most of the period, indicating a potential continuation of the downward channel.
Volume and Turnover
Volume spiked to over 3.1 million at 00:15 ET, but price failed to follow through, signaling a bearish divergence. Turnover increased in tandem with volume, with the highest notional turnover (75,662) occurring during the same period.
Looking ahead, price appears to be testing key support at 0.0245–0.0247. A break below this zone could trigger a test of the 38.2% Fibonacci level at 0.0243. Investors should remain cautious and monitor for signs of accumulation or a breakdown. Risk remains skewed to the downside over the next 24 hours.
