Structure & Formations

Price broke above a multi-hour consolidation range capped by a bullish reversal pattern at 0.782–0.784, with a bullish engulfing pattern on the 5-minute chart signaling potential follow-through. Key support levels at 0.776, 0.772, and 0.766 were tested and held, while resistance at 0.784 and 0.786 faces immediate attention.

Moving Averages

On the 5-minute chart, price closed above both 20 and 50-period SMAs, showing short-term bullish bias. Daily averages are not fully available in this dataset, but the 50-period line appears to have been crossed above late in the session.

Momentum and Oscillators

The RSI climbed to 58 by the 24-hour close, indicating moderate strength without overbought conditions. MACD showed a positive crossover and widening histogram, reinforcing the bullish breakout.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Volatility spiked as Bollinger Bands expanded, with price reaching the upper band at 0.796. This suggests growing conviction in the upward move and increased trader activity.

Volume and Turnover

Volume and turnover surged in the final 6 hours of the 24-hour window, with over 500,000 ETH traded in the last 3 hours. This confirms strong institutional or large-capacity buying near key levels.

Fibonacci Retracements

Recent 5-minute swings place 0.786 as a key 38.2% Fibonacci level and 0.782 as a critical 61.8% retracement. The pair appears to have used these levels as catalysts for a broader breakout.

Price appears to have gathered enough bullish energy to test 0.800 in the coming 24 hours. A retest of 0.776–0.772 could offer a better entry for longs, but a breakdown below 0.766 may signal a short-term reversal. Investors should monitor volume divergence and RSI behavior for early signs of exhaustion.
