Indicators and Momentum
MACD showed a bearish crossover with a negative histogram, reinforcing downward momentum. RSI approached oversold territory, suggesting a potential short-term bounce, though bearish bias remains intact. Bollinger Bands showed increased volatility during the early morning hours, with price hovering near the lower band, indicating stretched conditions.
Volume and Turnover Analysis
Volume surged during the sharp decline, particularly between 0.163 and 0.1615, suggesting conviction in the bearish move. Turnover aligned with volume, showing no divergence, which supports the validity of the bearish momentum. The largest turnover occurred during the 15:00–15:45 ET timeframe, which could be a short-term bottoming catalyst.
Fibonacci and Retracements
Fibonacci retracements from the 0.1648 high to the 0.1541 low identified 0.1577 (38.2%) and 0.1560 (61.8%) as critical levels.
The 0.1607 level corresponds to a 23.6% retracement of the recent 5-minute move and could see renewed demand if buyers emerge.
The price appears to be in a bearish consolidation phase with short-term support near 0.1607 and 0.1580. While RSI near oversold suggests a potential rebound, bearish momentum remains strong. Investors should be cautious of a possible test of 0.1560 in the next 24 hours, with increased volatility likely.
