The pair opened at $0.1467 (12:00 ET–1), reached a high of $0.1488, and closed at $0.1405 at 12:00 ET. Total volume reached 5.46 million MANA, with $76.13 million in turnover.

Structure & Key Levels

Price declined through key psychological and Fibonacci levels, including the 61.8% retracement of the morning rally. A bearish engulfing pattern emerged between $0.141 and $0.1405, signaling a potential breakdown. Support appears near $0.1404–$0.1401, with resistance likely at $0.1450 and $0.1475.

Trend and Momentum Indicators

Short-term moving averages on the 5-minute chart (20 and 50) crossed bearishly, reinforcing downward momentum. The 50-period MA on the daily chart is above current price, suggesting bearish bias. The RSI dived into oversold territory, but without a strong volume response, caution is warranted. MACD turned negative, confirming bearish pressure.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Volatility tightened into a contraction phase just before the sharp price drop, typical of a breakout scenario. Price fell below the lower band shortly after 16:00 ET, confirming a breakdown. A further test of support at $0.1400 could trigger a short-term rebound but is unlikely to reverse the bearish bias.

Volume and Turnover Analysis

Volume spiked sharply at the time of the breakdown, especially during the 548,619 MANA print at $0.1410. While this confirmed the move lower, the lack of a follow-through higher volume after the 16:00 ET low suggests weakness. Turnover during the breakdown was $76.986 million, the highest of the session.

Outlook and Risks

With price near key Fibonacci support and RSI in oversold territory, a short-term bounce into $0.1420–$0.1430 is possible. However, without a strong bullish reversal pattern or volume confirmation, the near-term bias remains bearish. Traders should watch for a break below $0.1400, which could extend the decline. As always, liquidity conditions and broader market sentiment remain key risk factors.
