Structure & Formations

The pair formed a bearish engulfing pattern around 01:15 ET as price opened at 275.2 and closed at 274.2 after a pullback to 271.9. A key support level at 271.9 held through several sessions, preventing further decline. A notable 5-minute doji emerged at 12:00 ET, indicating indecision around the 269.4 level.

Moving Averages and Momentum

While 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 5-minute chart crossed lower, the 50-period MA on the daily timeframe may still act as a dynamic support near 270.0. The RSI hovered around the 50 mark for much of the day, indicating mixed momentum with no clear overbought or oversold signals.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Volatility appeared to contract from 04:00 to 08:00 ET before expanding again with price action breaking below the lower Bollinger Band at 269.2. Price briefly tested the 269.4 level before consolidating near the band’s lower boundary, suggesting potential for further pullbacks.

Volume and Turnover Analysis

Volume spiked significantly during two distinct sessions: 01:15 ET (182.79 units, ¥50,121.31) and 06:15 ET (102.69 units, ¥28,111.29). These spikes coincided with bearish price movements. A divergence appeared in the latter half of the day as volume waned despite continued price pressure, indicating possible short-term exhaustion.

Fibonacci Retracements

A retracement from the 275.2 high to 269.2 low showed a 61.8% level at 271.9, which held as support. Price bounced from this level before testing the 50% retracement at 272.6, where it again stalled. These levels could be watched for potential reversals or breakdowns in the next 24 hours.

The pair appears to be in a phase of consolidation following a sharp intraday correction. A test of the 271.9 level may occur again, but if 269.2 breaks, it could target the next Fibonacci level. Investors should remain cautious of potential volatility spikes in the event of macroeconomic surprises.
