Structure & Formations

Price carved a distinct bearish flag pattern between 9:00 PM and 10:30 PM ET, breaking below key support at $0.01890 and $0.01880. A large bearish engulfing candle emerged at 12:15 ET, signaling short-term exhaustion. A doji at 10:00 PM ET hinted at indecision, but was overwhelmed by late selling.

Moving Averages

The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 5-minute chart trended lower throughout the session, with the 50-period line falling below the 20-period line near 6:00 PM ET, indicating growing bearish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA held slightly above price but failed to provide a floor for the sharp sell-off.

MACD & RSI

The MACD turned negative after 6:00 PM ET and crossed below the signal line, reinforcing bearish sentiment. The RSI dipped into oversold territory below 30 during the final two hours of the session, suggesting a potential short-term rebound could be on the table. However, the RSI failed to confirm a bounce even after reaching oversold levels.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly after 5:00 PM ET as price moved from the upper band to the lower band over a two-hour window. This expansion indicates increased uncertainty or a strong directional move. By the close, price was near the lower Bollinger band, consistent with a continuation bias to the downside.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged during the 12:15–12:45 ET window with a 318,335 volume spike and a notional turnover of $5,979.82. However, price failed to close higher after this, indicating bearish divergence. The 6:00–6:30 ET session also saw a large turnover of $3,662.02 as price broke through key support levels.

Fibonacci Retracements

A retracement from the $0.01921 high to the $0.01849 low placed 61.8% at $0.01877, a level that was briefly tested before the final close. This suggests that further downward movement may be limited in the short term, though a break below $0.01875 could invalidate this support and expose the next key level at $0.01865.

Price appears to be consolidating in a bearish channel after a sharp sell-off in the final hours of the session. While the RSI reaching oversold levels may offer a near-term bounce opportunity, volume divergence and a failed attempt at a reversal candle suggest caution. Investors should watch for a retest of $0.01875 and the 20-period moving average for potential directional clues. As always, volatility remains high, and unexpected news could trigger sharp moves in either direction.
