Structure & Formations

Price action showed a clear bearish bias throughout the day, with a key support zone forming between 0.0167 and 0.0168, as seen in the bullish engulfing pattern and consolidation in that range. Resistance remained firm around 0.01695–0.01700, where earlier selling pressure was evident. A doji at 0.01680 at 03:45 ET indicated indecision after a sharp decline.

Moving Averages and Momentum

On the 5-minute chart, price remained below the 20- and 50-period moving averages for most of the session, with a brief crossover occurring near the 06:45 ET rebound. Daily averages showed a more neutral alignment, but the 200-period line remained above current levels, suggesting long-term bearish pressure. The MACD histogram turned negative after 19:00 ET, aligning with the downward move, and remained bearish until a small positive divergence appeared at 06:45 ET.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed a tight contraction in late trading, particularly after 03:45 ET, which may precede a breakout or breakdown. Price remained within the lower half of the bands for much of the day, indicating a low volatility regime. However, the 06:45 ET spike pushed price toward the upper band temporarily, suggesting a potential short-lived bounce.

Volume and Turnover

Volume spiked to 61,545 at 06:45 ET, coinciding with a price rebound from 0.0167 to 0.01685, which appears to confirm the move. However, volume remained subdued after that, with no follow-through. Notional turnover aligned with price, with the highest turnover occurring around the 06:45 ET spike. Divergence between price and turnover in the final hours of trading suggests weakening conviction in the move.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the key 5-minute swing from 0.01726 to 0.01670, price found initial support near the 61.8% level at 0.01689, then broke down to 0.01670, which corresponds to the 78.6% retrace. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement level sits near 0.01703 and could be a potential zone for bounce if buyers re-enter.

Price may retest the 0.0167–0.0168 support zone in the next 24 hours, with a potential for a rebound if buyers step in. However, a break below 0.0167 could accelerate the decline toward 0.0165. Investors should monitor volume for confirmation of any reversal attempt.
