Structure & Formations
The price action formed a
narrow consolidation pattern between $0.663 and $0.676, with no clear breakout attempts. A bearish
engulfing candle emerged at 21:00 ET, following a brief rebound from a prior bearish move, which may signal short-term profit-taking. A
doji appeared at 00:30 ET on 2025-08-06, hinting at a pause in the downward trend and potential reversal.
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the price oscillated around the
20-period and 50-period SMAs, indicating no dominant trend. The
50-period SMA currently sits at $0.670, while the
20-period SMA is at $0.669, showing the market remains in a tight range. On the daily chart, the
200-period SMA may offer a key support level near
$0.665.
MACD & RSI
MACD lines moved sideways, with the histogram showing
no strong divergence, suggesting no clear momentum direction. The RSI indicator remained in the
neutral zone, oscillating between
38 and 55, indicating neither overbought nor oversold conditions. This implies the market is in a
wait-and-see mode ahead of the next directional move.
Bollinger Bands
The Bollinger Bands showed a
narrow contraction in the final hours of the 24-hour period, especially between 04:00 and 05:00 ET, which could precede a breakout. The price closed near the
lower band, suggesting a potential
bearish continuation if the range is broken.
Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked at
18:00 ET with a large candle, yet the price failed to move beyond the consolidation range, indicating
failing conviction among buyers. The
notional turnover at that time was $17,322.14, nearly 7% of the total 24-hour turnover. A divergence between
rising volume and flat price suggests short-term uncertainty among traders.
Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci to the
0.657–0.678 range, the
38.2% retracement level is at $0.669, and the
61.8% level is at $0.663, both of which coincided with key price clusters. The 61.8% level now appears to be acting as
strong support, and a break below $0.663 could target $0.659–0.657.
Api3 may face increased volatility over the next 24 hours, particularly if the $0.663 support level is tested. While the current range-bound pattern shows no sign of a breakout, a break below key support could trigger further bearish momentum. Investors should closely monitor the RSI divergence and volume behavior for early signs of directional bias.
