Moving Averages and Momentum

On the 5-minute chart, price briefly broke above the 20-period and 50-period SMAs, suggesting short-term bullish momentum. The RSI reached overbought territory above 70 after 10:00 ET, followed by a bearish divergence with price at 14:45 ET. The 12–26-period MACD showed a bullish crossover just before the afternoon break higher, but momentum weakened during the close.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands showed a tightening squeeze before the 15:00–16:30 ET breakout, with price eventually surging above the upper band at $0.1431. Volatility picked up sharply after 14:45 ET, with a 350% spike in volume during the last 90 minutes, confirming the move higher. Price closed near the upper band, suggesting continuation could be in play.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the 5-minute swing from $0.1361 to $0.1434, the 61.8% retracement level at $0.1394 was tested and held, while the 78.6% level at $0.1417 was breached toward the close. On a daily chart, the 61.8% retracement from the prior swing low aligns near $0.1390, now acting as key support.

Looking ahead, the next 24 hours may test the $0.1434 high or retest $0.1395–0.1400 as a potential consolidation area. Traders should watch for a break of the $0.1408–0.1415 range as a potential continuation signal, while a close below $0.1395 could re-ignite bearish sentiment. As always, volatility and volume spikes may trigger sharp corrections if liquidity thins.
