Price action showed bearish dominance with bearish engulfing and doji patterns forming at key resistance levels such as $0.0316 and $0.0314. These patterns suggest a loss of buying momentum and potential short-term support at $0.0306–$0.0308.
Moving Averages
On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages trended downward, reinforcing bearish bias. The daily chart showed the 50- and 200-period moving averages converging, hinting at possible consolidation or a shift in trend.
MACD & RSI
The MACD turned negative and remained bearish, with a narrowing histogram signaling reduced selling pressure. RSI reached oversold territory near 27 in the final hours, yet it failed to spark a rebound, indicating a continuation of downward bias.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility expanded sharply from 14:00 to 17:00 ET, pushing price near the lower band of the Bollinger Bands.
The widening bands confirm increased market uncertainty and potential for a continuation move or pullback.
Volume & Turnover
Volume surged during the sell-off, particularly after 14:00 ET, with turnover increasing in line with declining prices. Divergence between volume and price did not appear significant, suggesting conviction in the bearish move.
Fibonacci Retracements
Key Fibonacci levels of 38.2% and 61.8% (based on the $0.0316–$0.0294 range) sit near $0.0308 and $0.0305, respectively. Price stalled around $0.0306–$0.0308 before continuing lower, indicating a possible short-term bounce or consolidation in that range.
Looking ahead, a test of $0.0304–$0.0305 could confirm bearish momentum, but traders should remain cautious of a potential bounce amid oversold conditions. Market sentiment appears fragile, and unexpected macroeconomic news could trigger rapid reversals.
