Moving Averages and MACD

RSI and Volatility
RSI reached oversold territory below 30 during midday, but failed to trigger a strong rebound, indicating limited bearish follow-through. Bollinger Bands showed a contraction around 03:30–04:30 ET, followed by an expansion during a sharp 5-minute rally. Price spent the majority of the session within the upper and middle bands, suggesting a continuation of bullish bias but with some caution.
Volume and Turnover
Volume spiked sharply during the 19:15–21:45 ET period, coinciding with a sharp rally to 1.509. However, turnover during this period was relatively flat, suggesting a divergence that could hint at order flow exhaustion. Later, volume dropped significantly during consolidation, reinforcing the idea of short-term indecision.
Fibonacci and Forward Outlook
Fibonacci retracements on the key swing from 1.48 to 1.509 highlighted 1.494 (38.2%) and 1.501 (61.8%) as key levels to monitor. The next 24 hours may see renewed testing of 1.509 and 1.482 as key psychological levels. Traders should watch for volume confirmation or divergence during these tests, as price could remain range-bound without a clear breakout.
Filecoin/Tether may find direction if it breaks above 1.509 or falls below 1.482. Investors should brace for choppy price action and potential false breakouts in the near term.
