The MACD showed a narrowing histogram and a slight bearish crossover, supporting the pullback in price. The RSI, which started in neutral territory, dipped slightly below 50, suggesting a moderation in bullish momentum without entering oversold territory.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Volatility increased during the 16:30–17:00 ET window, with price trading near the lower Bollinger Band. This suggests a potential retracement toward the middle band. While the bands expanded during the day, they did not show a significant contraction, indicating that volatility remains active.

Volume and Turnover

Volume spiked during the 16:30–17:00 ET period, coinciding with a sharp price decline and confirming bearish momentum. Turnover also rose in line with volume, indicating that the price action was supported by increased trading interest.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 5-minute chart, price pulled back to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level after reaching a high of $0.00001172. This level acted as a temporary floor, with price consolidating afterward. The 50% retracement at $0.00001158 may now serve as a key pivot for near-term direction.

Price may test the $0.00001142 support level if bearish momentum continues. Traders should remain cautious for a potential bounce off that level, but a break below could increase downside risk.
