Structure and Patterns

The session was marked by a sharp descent from $0.4023 to $0.4003 following a large-volume candle at 18:30 ET. A bearish engulfing pattern emerged during that candle, with a subsequent continuation into the $0.3976–$0.398 range. A potential bullish reversal was seen around $0.398 but failed to confirm. Key support levels were identified at $0.398 and $0.3976, while resistance appears at $0.4012–$0.4021.

Volatility and Momentum

Bollinger Bands constricted tightly in the early part of the session before expanding during the sell-off between 18:30 and 21:00 ET. RSI remained subdued, falling as low as 30, indicating oversold conditions. MACD turned negative with a bearish crossover, reinforcing the bearish sentiment.

Volume and Turnover

Volume spiked dramatically during the 18:30–20:00 ET window, with the largest candle (13,749.6 BNT) confirming the breakdown from $0.4021. Turnover increased in tandem, peaking at nearly $5,500 during the 19:15–19:30 ET timeframe. No significant divergence between price and turnover was observed, suggesting consistent bearish conviction.

Forward Outlook

A retest of the $0.4012–$0.4021 range could test the strength of the short-term bounce. A break above $0.4028 may signal a retracement, but a failure to hold $0.4003 could push price toward $0.3975. Investors should remain cautious on longs in the next 24 hours, as volatility remains elevated and trend continuation is probable.
