Structure & Formations

Price tested a 5-min support level near $26.91–27.05 multiple times, with the most recent rebound showing a bullish engulfing pattern in the 10:45–11:00 ET window. However, bearish momentum was reinforced by a series of lower highs and lower closes between 07:45–09:45 ET. A key 5-min resistance appears to be forming at $27.27–27.35, where price stalled three times.

Moving Averages and Fibonacci

On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period MA dipped below the 50-period MA, reinforcing short-term bearish bias. On the daily chart, the 200-day MA remains above the 50-day MA, suggesting medium-term sideways consolidation. Fibonacci retracement levels from the key 5-min swing (high $27.84 to low $26.48) suggest potential support at 61.8% ($27.01) and resistance at 38.2% ($27.44), with price currently consolidating near the 50% level.

Momentum and Volatility

RSI remained in neutral to bearish territory for much of the session, dipping below 40 after the 07:45 ET leg down. MACD confirmed the bearish tone, with the histogram expanding lower during the selloff. Bollinger Bands showed a significant contraction in the late hours of 12:00–04:00 ET, indicating potential for a breakout or consolidation in the next 24 hours.

Volume and Turnover

Volume spiked to a 24-hour peak in the 07:45–09:45 ET window, coinciding with a 6.5% drop to $26.61. This was followed by a smaller but still meaningful volume surge after 14:00 ET, as price rebounded. Turnover and price action aligned during the early morning selloff, but a divergence appeared in the 14:00–16:00 ET rebound period, with higher turnover and limited price recovery.

While the immediate consolidation near $27.12 could suggest a possible rebound attempt, caution is warranted due to the bearish momentum indicators and lack of strong bullish confirmation. Price could test the $26.91 support level again or attempt a rally toward $27.35 in the next 24 hours. Investors should monitor the 5-minute and daily MAs for confirmation of a potential shift in trend.
