Structure and Momentum Signals

RSI (14) has since fallen below 40, signaling weakening momentum. MACD on the 5-minute chart turned bearish at 14:00 ET, reinforcing a potential continuation of the downtrend.

Bollinger Bands contracted earlier in the session, suggesting a potential breakout. However, volume dipped below average levels after the 16:00 ET high, signaling possible exhaustion in the current move.
Short-Term Outlook and Risk
The next 24 hours could see a test of the 0.2000 support level, with potential for a rebound if buyers re-engage. However, the lack of sustained volume and bearish momentum indicators increase the risk of a further pullback. Investors should monitor for a failure to hold above 0.2040 for a potential reversal signal.
