Structure & Formations

The 5-minute chart shows a key support level forming at 137.33–137.62, with a confirmed bullish reversal candle at 137.30 on the 09:15–09:30 ET timeframe. Price briefly tested this area multiple times, failing to break below, and then retraced higher with confirmation from volume. A bearish engulfing pattern appears on the 22:30–22:45 ET candle, but it was swiftly reversed, suggesting short-term indecision.

Moving Averages and Momentum

On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period MA is currently at 138.19, and the 50-period MA sits at 137.92, both below the current price of 139.52. This suggests upward momentum may still be intact. The 50-period MA is above the 20-period MA, forming a bearish crossover that could pressure price if it closes below 138.20 in the next 24 hours. MACD remains in positive territory but has not crossed into overbought levels, with a value of 0.52. RSI has stabilized near 52, indicating balanced buying and selling pressure.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Volatility spiked during the 05:15–06:45 ET period, reaching a high of 139.52. The price is currently near the upper band of the Bollinger Bands, suggesting potential for a pullback. A contraction in volatility was observed from 02:00–03:00 ET, followed by a sharp expansion, indicating a possible breakout attempt.

Volume and Turnover

Volume spiked notably at 07:00–07:15 ET with 84.97 GNO traded, coinciding with a sharp drop from 138.48 to 138.27. This could signal increased bearish interest. However, price bounced off the 137.34 level with strong volume, indicating short-term support. Turnover also surged at 09:15–09:30 ET, reflecting renewed buying interest after a sell-off.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci to the recent swing low at 136.28 and the high at 139.52, the 38.2% retracement level sits at 138.16, which was tested and held. The 61.8% level at 137.73 has been a key psychological support point, holding price above it for much of the day.

Price may continue to consolidate within the 137.34–139.52 range over the next 24 hours, with potential for a breakout if key resistance at 138.81 holds. Traders should remain cautious around volatility spikes and divergence in volume, which could indicate a reversal.
