Structure & Formations
Price tested the 2864.71 resistance level multiple times over the 24-hour period, but failed to hold above it. A bearish engulfing pattern formed at 2864.71 during the 22:45 candle, followed by a breakdown to 2841.21 and subsequent consolidation. A doji formed near 2845.07 during the overnight hours, suggesting indecision and potential for a short-term reversal.
Moving Averages
The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 5-minute chart remained below the current price, indicating short-term bearish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-day MA sits above the 200-day MA, suggesting a more bullish trend at the higher timeframe, though this is not yet reflected in the short-term action.
MACD & RSI
MACD showed a bearish crossover during the breakdown phase, with negative divergence in the histogram. RSI remained within neutral territory for most of the day, dipping slightly below 50 but not reaching oversold levels. This suggests that while there was downward pressure, extreme bearish conditions have not yet been triggered.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility expanded during the breakdown phase as price moved between the upper and lower bands. Price closed near the midline of the bands, indicating a potential consolidation phase ahead. A narrowing of the bands may precede a breakout in either direction.
Volume & Turnover
The highest volume spike occurred at 18:00 ET with a 5-minute candle showing 13.7644 in volume and a sharp decline from 2867.44 to 2841.21. This confirmed weakness in buyers. Turnover also spiked during this period, with notional turnover reaching ~39,243.71 EUR. Later in the day, volume declined significantly during the consolidation phase, which could signal reduced conviction in the trend.
Fibonacci Retracements
On the 5-minute chart, price retested the 61.8% Fibonacci level of the move from 2841.21 to 2864.71, but failed to bounce, suggesting bearish exhaustion. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement level at 2830.07 provided temporary support, but failed to hold under further bearish pressure.
In the next 24 hours, Ethereum/Eurite may find support near 2830.06 or face resistance at 2855.64 depending on the strength of buying interest. Traders should monitor for a potential break of the 2840.77 close with confirmation volume to assess the direction of the next move. Volatility may increase as the market tests key levels.
