Auto opened at $0.542 at 12:00 ET − 1 and reached a high of $0.547 before falling to a low of $0.534. The price closed at $0.536 at 12:00 ET. Total volume for the 24-hour period was 1.2 billion tokens, with a notional turnover of $61.8 million.
Structure & Formations
On the 15-minute chart, Auto formed a bearish engulfing pattern around $0.545, indicating rejection at a key resistance level. The price then consolidated below the 20-period moving average, suggesting that short-term sellers may have regained control. A descending triangle pattern is emerging, with support at $0.534 and resistance at $0.547. A breakout could confirm the next leg of the trend.
Moving Averages
The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 15-minute chart crossed bearishly, reinforcing the short-term downtrend. On the daily chart, the price closed below the 50-period and 100-period moving averages, indicating that the intermediate trend remains bearish. A close above the 50-period MA could signal a potential short-term reversal, but confirmation is needed.
MACD & RSI
The MACD line turned negative and crossed below the signal line in the last 3 hours, suggesting a bearish shift in momentum. The RSI, currently at 39, is in neutral territory but has shown bearish divergence with price in the last 4 hours, hinting that the downtrend may have more room to run. A move below 30 could signal an oversold condition and a potential bounce.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility expanded significantly in the last 4 hours, with the Bollinger Bands widening. The price is currently trading near the lower band, suggesting a possible oversold condition. A retest of the upper band at $0.545 could be a target for short-term traders, but a sustained break below the lower band could trigger further selling pressure.
Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked by 23% in the last 4 hours, coinciding with the breakdown from $0.545. This increase in volume confirms the bearish move and suggests that sellers are active. However, notional turnover has not increased proportionally, indicating that the selling pressure may not be broad-based. A divergence between volume and turnover could signal a potential reversal in the near term.
Fibonacci Retracements
On the 15-minute chart, the price has retested the 61.8% Fibonacci level of the recent $0.534–$0.547 swing, suggesting a potential pivot point. A break below this level could target the 78.6% retracement at $0.529. On the daily chart, the 38.2% and 61.8% retracements align with key support levels at $0.530 and $0.525, respectively. A test of these levels could provide clarity on the near-term direction.
Auto may continue to test the $0.534 support in the next 24 hours, with a potential bounce or breakdown possible. Traders should watch for a retest of the 61.8% Fibonacci level and any confirmation from volume or momentum indicators. As always, a sharp move in either direction could occur with little warning, so risk management remains essential.
