Structure and Momentum

Price action on the 5-minute chart showed a bullish engulfing pattern forming at 136,600 following a 20-period support test. A strong recovery pushed BNB/Yen above 137,000–137,200, a prior resistance cluster, and tested a 38.2% Fibonacci level on the daily chart. MACD crossed above the signal line, confirming renewed bullish momentum. RSI approached overbought levels (75), signaling caution for short-term overextension.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands contracted sharply overnight (after 22:00 ET) before a breakout to the upside. Price moved above the upper band after the 04:45 ET candle, indicating a move out of consolidation. This expansion aligned with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement and appears to be a valid continuation of the short-term bullish trend.

Volume and Turnover Dynamics

Volume spiked significantly during the breakout, particularly from 04:45 to 06:30 ET, with notional turnover peaking at 5.1 million JPY during the 05:00–05:15 ET period. Volume and price moved in alignment, reinforcing the breakout’s validity.

Forward-Looking Outlook

BNB/Yen appears to have confirmed a breakout above 137,200, with support now at 138,300 and resistance at 138,700. A pullback toward 137,600 could offer a re-entry opportunity. However, overbought RSI and elevated volatility suggest a near-term consolidation phase may be likely. Investors should monitor 138,200–138,400 closely for potential short-term corrections.
