Structure and Momentum

Price action formed several bearish patterns on the 5-minute chart, including a dark cloud cover and a long lower shadow doji, suggesting potential exhaustion of buying pressure. The breakdown below 0.0190 marked a key psychological level and a 20-period moving average on the 5-minute chart, reinforcing bearish bias. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA (0.01903) now acts as a critical resistance-turned-support, with the 200-period MA offering a floor below 0.01875.

MACD turned negative in the afternoon, with a bearish crossover into the negative territory, confirming a shift in momentum. RSI dropped into oversold territory (~25) by 05:30 ET, signaling potential near-term exhaustion in the downward move.

Volatility and Volume

Volatility expanded as Bollinger Bands widened, with the price drifting toward the lower band during the late ET sell-off, indicating increasing uncertainty. Volume surged during the early afternoon ET selloff (18:15–18:45 ET), reaching over 421k BIGTIME, with notional turnover spiking to $7,867. Price and volume were aligned, offering confirmation of bearish pressure.

Fibonacci retracement levels of the 17:00–19:45 ET move (0.0195–0.01894) suggest 0.0187–0.0188 as a potential short-term support zone. A rebound from that level could trigger a test of the 0.0189–0.0190 range, which may hold if buyers re-engage.

Forward Outlook

The price may find temporary support near 0.0187–0.0188, with a potential bounce or consolidation likely in the near term. However, a break below that level could accelerate the decline toward 0.0185–0.0184. Investors should remain cautious of increased volatility and watch for confirmation of a short-covering rally or a continuation of bearish momentum.
