MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed below the signal line during the early morning hours, signaling bearish momentum, while RSI entered overbought territory (above 60) during a brief rally to 0.0426. However, the failure to maintain those levels led to an RSI divergence, suggesting waning bullish conviction.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands widened during the late-night sell-off, indicating rising volatility. By the morning, the price retested the upper band multiple times, failing to break above 0.0426. A potential contraction in the bands could emerge if the price stabilizes near the 0.0420-0.0422 range.

Volume & Turnover

Trading volume spiked above 600,000 at 0.0426 during the morning hours, coinciding with a sharp rally, but failed to sustain the move. Notional turnover followed a similar pattern, suggesting price and volume may have diverged as the rally lost steam.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the 0.0426 high and 0.0409 low shows 38.2% at 0.0419 and 61.8% at 0.0414. The price tested 0.0414 but bounced off, suggesting this level may offer short-term support.

Looking ahead, the price may test key support at 0.0410-0.0412 if the current consolidation fails to hold. Investors should remain cautious about potential volatility as price nears the 0.0425 MA on the daily chart. A breakout above 0.0426 could rekindle bullish momentum, but bearish continuation remains probable in the near term.
